After meeting his victory in Indiana and the withdrawal of Cruz, Trump gave a speech Tuesday in Indianapolis in which his departure on stage was accompanied by the song of The Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up".
"The Rolling Stones have never given permission Trump's campaign to use his songs," said a representative of the group to Billboard, adding that the band has called "stop all use (songs) immediately."
"Start Me Up" is not the only song "Their Satanic Majesties" that Trump has used throughout his campaign. According to the information of The New Yorker, in their events they have also sounded, at least, "You Can not Always Get What You Want", "Sympathy For The Devil" and "Brown Sugar".
