Sony/ATV Publishing, who control the rights to Queen's music, is upset at Donald Trump's usage of their track "We Are the Champions."

"Sony/ATV Music Publishing has never been asked by Mr. Trump, the Trump campaign or the Trump Organization for permission to use 'We Are the Champions' by Queen," a statement read.

"On behalf of the band, we are frustrated by the repeated unauthorized use of the song after a previous request to desist, which has obviously been ignored by Mr. Trump and his campaign."

"Queen does not want its music associated with any mainstream or political debate in any country.

Nor does Queen want 'We Are the Champions' to be used as an endorsement of Mr. Trump and the political views of the Republican Party.

We trust, hope and expect that Mr. Trump and his campaign will respect these wishes moving forward."

Guitarist Brian May echoed those sentiments recently as well, saying that it's "against the bands policy to use their music as a campaigning tool."
