The German synth-pop band Alphaville has publicly opposed the apply of their music by former U.S. President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
The band stated they do not authorize Trump or his political affiliates to use their songs in any campaign or promotional materials.
This comes after Trump shared a video featuring animated clips of himself set to music, which included tracks associated with Alphaville.
The group emphasized that their music should not be tied to political messaging they do not support.
Alphaville, best known for hits like “Forever Young” and “Large in Japan,” rose to fame in the 1980s and continues to perform globally.
The band’s stance reflects a growing trend of artists objecting to the unauthorized use of their work in political contexts.
