LONDON — His nomination as Republican candidate might be all but assured, but Trump won't be racing for the White House to any of the Stones' music if the band have anything to do with it.

They issued a statement Wednesday, according to reports, stating that they had not given permission to his campaign to use their songs and "have requested that they cease all use immediately".

They join the likes of Adele and Steven Tyler in attempting to block the politician from using their music.

Trump has been blasting "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Start Me Up" at his rallies in recent weeks.

Sadly, their intervention might be fruitless; political campaigns don't need permission from individual artists or bands if the venues they choose have blanket performing rights licenses.

Politicians and musicians have a long and uncomfortable relationship.

In the UK, Johnny Marr from the Smiths famously banned David Cameron from liking the band, while in the U.S. the Foo Fighters hit out at John McCain when he used "My Hero" during the 2008 election.
