 Foo Fighters will donate to Kamala Harris after Trump used their song 'My Hero'


Foo Fighters have reacted after Donald Trump used one of their songs during his presidential election campaign.

The American rock band's song, My Hero, blared as Robert F Kennedy Jr walked onto the stage at Mr Trump's campaign event in Arizona on Friday after the Republican presidential candidate introduced him.

Mr Kennedy, whose father was presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy and uncle

President John F Kennedy, appeared at the rally shortly after he announced he was suspending his independent campaign for the presidency to lend his support to Mr Trump in certain states.

Asked on social media if they had given Mr Trump permission to use the 1997 track, Foo Fighters' official Twitter account responded simply saying: "No".


The rock band also reposted a screenshot of their comment to their page on X with the caption "let us be clear".

A spokesperson for the band told the PA news agency: "Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were they would not have granted it."


The representative added that "any royalties received as a result of this use will be donated" to Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.


The band is the latest to voice disapproval of the Trump campaign's use of its song. Earlier this month, Celine Dion's team said it did not approve Trump's use of "My Heart Will Go On," her song from the movie "Titanic," at a rally in Montana.

"In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use ... And really, THAT song?" a statement shared on her Instagram page said.

Also in August, the family of Isaac Hayes threatened to sue Trump, for using his song "Hold On, I'm Comin'" at rallies.


"Donald Trump epitomizes a lack of integrity and class, not only through his continuous use of my father's music without permission but also through his history of sexual abuse against women and his racist rhetoric," Hayes' son, Isaac Hayes III, said.

"This behavior will no longer be tolerated, and we will take swift action to put an end to it."
