The Foo Fighters have stated that they did not authorize the use of their song “My Hero” at a rally where Donald Trump received the endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The band emphasized that they were not asked for permission and would not have granted it if they had been. A spokesperson confirmed that “appropriate actions” are being taken against the Trump campaign, and any royalties from the song’s use will be donated to the Harris/Walz campaign.
Foo Fighters also issued a curt response on their official X account after being asked by a social media user about if they permitted the use of the song.
“Hey @foofighters did you let Trump use ‘My Hero’ to welcome RFK Jr. on stage,” they were asked.
“No,” the band replied, later reposting the interaction with the caption “Let us be clear.”
