DHAKA: The Rolling Stones have told Donald Trump to stop playing their songs during his presidential campaign.

The band have issued a statement saying that the US presidential candidate does not have permission to use the band’s music, reports the BBC.

‘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 candidate has been playing their songs at his rallies for months.

Their 1969 hit You Can’t Always Get What You Want has been a particular favorite.

The band are not the first to protest at the reality TV star and businessman - now the Republican front-runner - using their music during his campaign.

In February, Adele issued a statement distancing herself from Trump, after he had been playing Adele’s hit Rolling In The Deep as his ‘warm-up’ music at his rallies.

The singer issued a statement making it clear she had ‘not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning’.

Aerosmith have also protested over their music being used in Trump’s campaign

Singer Steven Tyler’s lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter, saying the use of the band’s song Dream On ‘gives a false impression’ he endorses Trump’s presidential bid.

Tyler, who is a registered Republican, said it was not a ‘personal’ issue but one of permission and copyright.
