LONDON - British rock legends The Rolling Stones have threatened legal action against US President Donald Trump for the leader's use of their song You Can't Always Get What You Want at campaign rallies.
"The BMI have notified the Trump campaign on behalf of the Stones that the unauthorised use of their songs will constitute a breach of its licensing agreement," read the statement, which was retweeted by the Rolling Stones official Twitter account. The letter is the latest in a campaign to stop Mr Trump using the song at rallies which dates back to 2016.The BMI added that it has not yet received any response from lawyers acting for Mr Trump.Earlier this month, the family of rock musician Tom Petty issued a cease and desist letter over Mr Trump's use of I Won't Back Down at a rally in Tulsa on June 20.
Queen complained when Mr Trump walked on stage to their anthem We Are The Champions during a Republican Party event in Cleveland, Ohio, in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
