Abba has become the third musical act this month to complain about its music being used in Donald Trump’s campaign.

The Swedish group have demanded the campaign immediately remove videos featuring the “unauthorised” use of their hit songs including Dancing Queen at a recent rally.

Last weekend, the Foo Fighters said they did not and would not allow My Hero to be played, while Celine Dion said the same when My Heart Will Go On was used.

Abba became the latest in a series of music stars protesting against Mr Trump using their catalogue.

“Abba has recently discovered the unauthorised use of their music and videos at a Trump event through videos that appeared online,” the group said in a statement.

“As a result, Abba and its representative has promptly requested the removal and deletion of such content.

“No request has been received; therefore, no permission or license has been granted.”

Earlier this year, Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr slammed Mr Trump after the band’s hit Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want was played at a rally.

“Ahh…right…OK. I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass,” he wrote in response to a video.

“Consider this s**t shut right down right now.”

In 2018, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith sent a letter to the then-president ordering him to stop playing the band’s songs at political rallies, having already sent two cease-and-desist letters in 2015.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have also sent a notice to Mr Trump, while Rihanna issued a cease-and-desist letter after he played her music at an event in Tennessee.

The estates of Prince and Tom Petty have made the same demands, as have the Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Linkin Park.
