Another song in Donald Trump's playlist may have just bitten the dust.

Queen guitarist Brian May, reacting to the presumptive Republican nominee's playing of the sports rock anthem as he walked out to deliver remarks after his final round of primary victories, wrote on his personal website that Trump's use of the song Tuesday night was not welcome.


"This is not an official Queen statement, but I can confirm that permission to use the track was neither sought nor given," May wrote on Wednesday, adding that he had received several letters from concerned fans posted on his website. "We are taking advice on what steps we can take to ensure this use does not continue. Regardless of our views on Mr Trump’s platform, it has always been against our policy to allow Queen music to be used as a political campaigning tool. Our music embodies our own dreams and beliefs, but it is for all who care to listen and enjoy."

May is not the first musician to take issue with Trump's use of his work. Neil Young remarked last June that he would not have granted Trump permission to use "Rockin' in the Free World" for his campaign announcement though last month said he had no problem with its use because Trump had acquired a license to do so.

Meanwhile, former REM singer Michael Stipe, a Bernie Sanders supporter, took a harder line last September after Trump used "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" at a rally.

“Go f--k yourselves, the lot of you – you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men,” Stipe said, according to a statement tweeted by the group's bassist Mike Mills. “Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign.”
