Representatives of Genesis Frontman confirmed that they had issued the order: “We are well aware of the Trump campaign for this song and we have already issued a retirement and retirement letter through our attorneys who will continue to monitor the situation.”
Collins Neil Young, Dexis Midnight Runners, Panic! At The Disco, the estate of Rolling Stones, Linkin Park and Tom Petty, the president and his team were asked to refrain from using their music at re-election campaign rallies.
Young wrote: “Imagine what it would be like to hear Rockin in the free world after this president has spoken. It’s like his theme song. I did not write for it.”
