Music / NewsMusic / NewsPrince’s Estate is asking Trump to stop playing Prince songs at rallies‘Cease all use immediately’ShareLink copied ✔️October 13, 2018October 13, 2018TextThom Waite Donald Trump has never had much luck when it comes to finding support from musicians (barring the recent Kanye West mess; the less said about that the better). On the day he announced his run for President, for example, he played Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World”, and was promptly told by Young it was not ok.
