Donald Trump's presidential campaign has once again stirred up controversy, this time with 70s superstars Abba. The Swedish group has recently expressed their displeasure after their music was used without their permission to promote Trump's campaign. The unauthorized use of their hit songs, including "The Winner Takes It All" and "Dancing Queen," at a recent rally has caused a stir among the group's members.
Abba's representatives have demanded that the campaign immediately remove any videos featuring their music, which have been shared online. This is not the first time that musicians have spoken out against Trump using their music as part of his campaign. The Foo Fighters and Celine Dion are among the other artists who have protested against the use of their music.
In a statement given to the PA news agency, Abba expressed their disappointment and stated that they were not aware of the use of their music until videos appeared online. They have promptly requested for the removal and deletion of any content featuring their music. However, their request has not been acknowledged, and no permission or license has been granted for the use of their music.
It seems that the members of Abba, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Bjorn Ulvaeus, are not pleased with Donald Trump's actions. The 80s legends did not authorize the use of their songs for the Republican rally. This is not the first time that Trump has been called out for using music without permission. The Foo Fighters also denied giving permission for their song "My Hero" to be played at a rally, while Celine Dion's team released a statement condemning the use of her song "My Heart Will Go On" at a campaign event.
The trend of musicians speaking out against Trump using their music does not stop there. Other artists, including Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Prince, Tom Petty, Rihanna, and Black Sabbath, have also demanded that their music not be used for political purposes. The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Linkin Park are among the other musicians who have taken action after their music appeared in videos supporting Trump.
It seems that Trump's use of music for his campaign has caused quite a stir among the music industry, with many artists speaking out and taking action. Whether or not Trump will heed their requests remains to be seen.
