The Rolling Stones told Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Wednesday to stop using the band's music for his campaign after artists such as Adele and R.E.M. made the same request.
"The
Rolling Stones have never given permission to the
Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately," the
band's spokesperson said in a statement.
A representative for Trump's
campaign did **t respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
Before his rally in Carmel, Indiana on Tuesday, Trump's
campaign played The
Rolling Stones' 1969 song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at least four times.
Alongside pop and rock songs, the
Trump campaign also plays Broadway show tunes and opera
music ahead of rallies.
British singer Adele in February said she has **t given permission for anyone to use her
music for political campaigns, after
Trump played her 2011 hit "Rolling in the Deep" at rallies in Iowa.
Politico magazine reported that the
Trump campaign was undeterred and used Adele's James Bond theme song "Skyfall" at a rally in Little Rock, Arkansas two days after her statement.
Rockers R.E.M. lashed out at
Trump for
using their hit song, "It's the End of the World As We K**w It (And I Feel Fine)" at a rally last year.
