(Reuters) - Tom Petty's family slammed President Donald Trump for using the late rock star's hit "I Won't Back Down" at his sparsely attended rally in Tulsa, sending the campaign a cease and desist warning.
"Trump was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind," the late rocker's family said on Twitter late Saturday.
"Tom Petty would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate," said the tweet signed by Petty's widow Dana, ex-wife Jane and his daughters Adria and Annakim.
