Foo Fighters Donate Royalties to Harris Campaign

The Foo Fighters have announced plans to donate royalties from their song 'My Hero' to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign after Donald Trump used the track at a recent rally without permission. The band's spokesperson clarified that they were not consulted regarding the song's use and would have denied permission if asked. In response to a fan's inquiry on social media, they reiterated their stance, stating, 'No' to Trump's use of the song and emphasized, 'Let us be clear.' While Trump's campaign claims they had a license to play the song, the Foo Fighters have taken a public stand against its unauthorized use. This incident follows a series of controversies where Trump has faced backlash for using artists' music without authorization, including Beyoncé, who recently sent a cease-and-desist letter for her song 'Freedom.' As part of their support for Harris, the band is redirecting royalties to her campaign, highlighting a growing trend among artists to distance themselves from Trump's political activities.
