Panic! At The Disco tells ‘monster’ Trump to stop playing their music at his rallies


After President Donald Trump played Panic! At The Disco’s 2018 hit song High Hopes during his Phoenix rally on Tuesday, founding frontman Brendon Urie demanded he stop.

The 33-year-old pansexual pop star tweeted: ‘Dear Trump Campaign, F*** you. You’re not invited. Stop playing my song…Donald Trump represents nothing we stand for.’

Urie then urged his 6.6M social media following to register to vote to help get ‘this monster out [of office] in November.’

‘Donald Trump says really dumb s*** all the time but he’s doing way worse s***,’ Brendon lamented to Paper back in 2018.

‘I like my music to be an escape from it all, but then I like to use my celebrity as a means to fight for causes I believe in.’

The two-time Grammy nominee last used his four-octave tenor pipes to a belt cover of Into the Unknown for the Frozen 2 soundtrack in November after dueting with Taylor Swift on Me!

Urie’s tweet came two days after Tom Petty’s estate issued Trump a formal cease and desist order for using his 1989 song I Won’t Back Down during his sparsely-attended Tulsa rally.

‘Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind,’ the statement read.

‘Tom Petty would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together. We believe in America and we believe in democracy.

‘But Donald Trump is not representing the noble ideals of either. We would hate for fans that are marginalized by this administration to think we were complicit in this usage.’

A year ago, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne demanded the 74-year-old reality star-turned-politician to stop using anymore of his music, including 1980 banger Crazy Train, for political ads or campaigns.

‘In the meantime, I have a suggestion for Mr. Trump,’ the 67-year-old Talk co-host wrote in a statement.

‘Perhaps he should reach out to some of his musician friends. Maybe #KayneWest (Gold Digger), @KidRock (I Am the Bullgod) or @TedNugentofficial (Stranglehold) will allow use of their music.’

Back in 2009-2010, Sharon – who voted for the UK to withdraw from the European Union – was ‘fired’ by Trump in week 10 of the third season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice.

In 2018, Rihanna tweeted that neither she nor her people ‘would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies’ after Trump played her 2008 hit Please Don’t Stop the Music.
