The Rolling Stones have become the latest musicians to ask Donald Trump to stop playing their songs during his campaign.

The rock stars said the Republican US presidential candidate does not have permission to use their music.

Mr Trump has featured their tunes at his rallies for months as part of a soundtrack that includes Sir Elton John, opera and classic rock songs.

Adele and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler have previously asked him to stop playing their music to fire up crowds.

In a statement, the band said: "The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately."

Mr Trump was said to have been playing Adele's hit Rolling In The Deep as "warm-up" music.

In February, Adele's spokesman said: "Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning."

Last year Tyler forced him to stop using the song Dream On during campaigning.

Mr Trump responded on Twitter saying he had the legal right to use the song, but had found "a better one to take its place".

Neil Young also objected when Mr Trump used Rockin' In The Free World during the announcement of his campaign last year.
