Stones tell Trump not to use their music

The Rolling Stones told Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Wednesday to stop using their music for his campaign after artists such as Adele and R.E.M. made the same request. "The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that it cease all use immediately," a spokesman said. Politico magazine said the Trump campaign was undeterred and used Adele's Skyfall at a rally in Little Rock, Arkansas, two days after her statement.
