Aerosmith To Donald Trump: Stop Using Our Song

Lawyers for frontman Steven Tyler have sent two cease-and-desist letters to the Trump campaign, saying the candidate does “not have our client’s permission to use “Dream On” or any of Tyler’s other songs, the AP reported Sunday.

Tyler’s attorney Dina LaPolt confirms it’s not about politics.

Tyler and Trump have shared a friendship, with Tyler appearing at August’s Republican debate as a personal guest of Trump. “Steven wrote 100% of ‘Dream On, ‘ and this is about the un-authorized use of his property”. This was apparently the second time a cease-and-desist letter was sent to Trump about using the song.

The letter stated that Trump’s use of the song “gives the false impression that [Tyler] is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump’s presidential bid”. “Steven is a registered Republican”.

Mirror Celeb has contacted a representative of Donald Trump and Steven Tyler for comment.

The request, however, wasn’t the first by a prominent rock band to disassociate with Trump.

Yet another musician has joined the growing chorus of artists telling Donald Trump to please stop using their music for his presidential campaign, but this one probably cuts deeper than most. R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe told the Trump campaign to “go f*** [them]selves” after demanding Trump stop using “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)”.

It is now unknown if Trump has a performance license from ASCAP or BMI, which if he does, he would be free and clear to use the song at events.
