Brian May: Donald Trump Can’t Use Queen Songs [Video]

At the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump made a statement by walking on stage to Queen's "We Are the Champions." Now Queen guitarist Brian May has a statement for him: stop using our music. 

"I've had an avalanche of complaints – some of which you can see in our 'Letters' page – about Donald Trump using our 'We Are The Champions' track as his 'theme' song on USA TV," May writes on his website. "This is not an official Queen statement, but I can confirm that permission to use the track was neither sought nor given. We are taking advice on what steps we can take to ensure this use does not continue."

The guitarist adds that it's not Trump's politics that are the problem. "Regardless of our views on Mr. Trump's platform," May explains, "it has always been against our policy to allow Queen music to be used as a political campaigning tool."
