Foo Fighters Call Out Donald Trump for Unauthorized Use of Their Song at Rally

The Foo Fighters have joined the growing list of artists pushing back against Donald Trump’s use of their music without permission. At a recent rally in Glendale, Arizona, the former president played their iconic 1997 hit “My Hero” during an elaborate introduction for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had just endorsed Trump after ending his own campaign. The song, combined with fireworks, made for a dramatic moment—but it quickly sparked backlash from the band.

Led by Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters made it clear that they had not granted permission for the song to be used and would not have agreed even if Trump’s campaign had asked. In response, the band is planning legal action to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

In a move that adds to the controversy, the Foo Fighters announced that any royalties they receive from streaming or sales of “My Hero” because of the rally will be donated to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. This bold statement reflects their commitment to making sure their music isn’t used to promote causes they don’t support.

This incident follows a pattern for Trump, who has faced numerous disputes over unauthorized music use during his rallies. In the past, artists like the estate of Isaac Hayes and Beyoncé’s record label have also called him out for playing their songs without consent.

The ongoing clash between Trump and artists underscores a broader issue of unauthorized music usage in political events, raising questions about intellectual property and artistic rights.
