AGAIN: Queen Slams Trump For Using Their Music

July 19, 2016 2016 Election, Gay Artists, Pop Music

Last month Queen’s Brian May denounced Donald Trump for using We Are The Champions as his walk-on music, saying that that “permission to use the track was neither sought nor given.” May went to say that the band was “taking steps” to ensure that Trump was stopped.

But pesky things like intellectual property laws are for the little people and last night at the GOP convention Trump again used the track as he walked on in a cloud of literal fog to introduce his wife.

Today Brian May retweeted this angry message from occasional Queen frontman Adam Lambert.
