Tom Petty's children, widow, and ex-wife teamed up to denounce President Trump's use of Petty's 1989 classic, “I Won't Back Down,” at his political rally on Saturday night (June 20th) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The family, who has recently resolved a bitter fight over the rocker's estate, fired off a message across all of Petty's social media platforms, which reads in full:
Tom Petty's song “I Won't Back Down” was used today at Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, OK. Trump was in no way authorized to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind.
