Donald Trump played a Foo Fighters song during an election meeting in Arizona, without the band's permission. Now, the American rock band is donating all potential royalties to Kamala Harris' campaign, according to CNN.

It was the song "My Hero" from 1997 that was played during the meeting, and a representative for the band denies that Trump was given the green light for the performance.

"Foo Fighters were not asked for permission, and if they had been asked, they would have said no", the representative states in a statement.

Earlier this summer, among others, Céline Dion and the family of artist Isaac Hayes have opposed the unauthorized use of their songs in Trump's ongoing presidential campaign.
