Posted on by

Via a statement from the publicity team, Foo Fighters have publicly denounced the unauthorized use of their song “My Hero” by Donald Trump for his rally on Friday, August 23rd, 2024. The former U.S. president introduced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the Foo Fighters track at an Arizona campaign rally, just hours after the independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. In the statement via Billboard, “Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it.”

 

 

The statement went on to state “appropriate actions are being taken” against the campaign, the spokesperson continues, and any royalties received as a result of this use will be donated to the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign. 

“My Hero” is one of the most popular songs by the band, with over 441,855,431 streams alone on Spotify.
