Foo Fighters Slam Trump’s Unauthorized Use of Song at Rally, Donate Royalties to Harris Campaign

In recent news, rock band Foo Fighters have made headlines after their song “My Hero” was played at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in Arizona without their permission. A representative for the band stated that they did not authorize the use of their hit 1997 rock anthem at the event. As a result, any royalties received from this unauthorized use will be donated to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, with running mate Gov. Tim Walz. This incident is not the first time a recording artist has disputed the use of their music at a rally for the Republican presidential candidate. Earlier this month, Celine Dion criticized the unauthorized use of her song “My Heart Will Go On” at a rally in Montana. In response to the controversy, Harris’ campaign announced that it has raised $540 million since the launch of her presidential bid, and she will be embarking on a bus tour with Walz in Georgia, a key battleground state.
