Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.British rock band Coldplay put on a visually stunning performance at half-time of Super Bowl 50.
Along with Bruno Mars and Beyonce, Chris Martin and Co went through a back catalogue of Super Bowl half-time shows with front of hundreds of fans on the turf at Levi's Stadium.
The band played upbeat versions of 'Viva La Vida' and 'Paradise' with Martin dancing around a colourful centre stage.
They were then joined by 2013 headline act Bruno Mars for 'Uptown Funk', before 2014 headline Act Beyonce belted out her new single 'Formation'.
The headline act then finished with classic hit 'Fix You'.
However, despite plenty of people being mightily impressed with the show, others weren't so keen.
Especially when last year's accidental star, 'Left Shark', failed to appear.
Here's some reaction on social media:
The Denver Broncos eventually beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10 to win the Super Bowl.
