(Modernity) The rock band Foo Fighters have gone quiet after it emerged that the Donald Trump campaign bought a license to play their song at a Rally on Friday.
Foo Fighters threatened to take “appropriate actions” after their song ‘My Hero’ was used at Trump’s rally Friday to introduce RFK Jr.
As we highlighted, the Dave Grohl fronted band issued a statement confirming they were not asked permission to use their hit and would not have granted it to Trump if they had been. They also vowed to give all proceeds from apparent pending legal action against Trump to Kamala Harris.
There’s just one small problem with that, the band sold their rights to the song to BMI, which licenses it out via its Songview service.
