Foo Fighters Donate 'My Hero' Royalties to Kamala Harris' Campaign After Donald Trump Uses Song at Rally

A representative for Foo Fighters confirmed to PEOPLE that Foo Fighters would donate their "My Hero" royalties to Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign after former President Donald Trump used this song at a rally without their permission.

"Foo Fighters were not asked permission and if they were, they would have not granted it," a rep for the band told PEOPLE in a statement. They added that the "Fly" band — comprised of Dave Grohl, Pat Smear, Josh Freese, Chris Shiflett, Nate Mandel and Rami Jafree — would donate any royalties from the Trump campaign's use of the song to Harris and Gov. On Friday, Aug. 23, the band even addressed Trump's use of "My Hero" at the rally on X (formerly Twitter), sharing an interaction with a user who asked, "Hey @foofighters, did you let Trump use 'My Hero' to welcome RFK Jr. on stage," to which the band replied, "No."
