File photo by Patrick Kovarik/AFPBritish rock legends The Rolling Stones have threatened legal action against Donald Trump for the US president'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 unauthorized 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 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 Trump.Earlier this month, the family of rock musician Tom Petty issued a cease and desist letter over Trump's use of"I Won't Back Down" at a rally in Tulsa on June 20.
Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Aerosmith, Adele, Neil Young and the estate of singer Prince have all hit out after the use of songs by Trump.
