Rolling Stones warn Trump of legal action over song use

British 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 band has appointed performing rights organisation BMI to try to stop him using the song. The letter is the latest in a campaign to stop Trump using the song at rallies which dates back to 2016. The Stones are not the first major act to call on the president to stop using their songs. Queen complained when Trump walked on stage to their anthem "We Are The Champions" during a Republican Party event in 2016. Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Aerosmith, Adele, Neil Young and the estate of singer Prince have all hit out after the use of songs by Trump.
