Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has asked Republican candidate Donald Trump to stop using the power ballad "Dream On" at campaign events. Tyler's lawyers sent Trump a cease-and-desist letter to his campaign committee on Saturday. This is the second time Trump has been warned over the usage of the song. Trump was first asked not to use the track after a campaign stop on Aug. 21 in Mobile, Ala., according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The letter states that Trump does "not have our client's permission to use 'Dream On'" or any of Tyler's other songs and that it "gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump's presidential bid," according to The Associated Press.
The "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" singer is a registered Republican and attended the GOP candidate's first debate in August as his guest along with Aerosmith drummer, Joey Kramer.
Tyler's attorney said that the letter had nothing to do with a "political" or "personal" issue with Trump, but Tyler's "position has always been consistent regarding copyright and intellectual property." The cease-and-desist letter has given Trump 24 hours to stop using the song or present proof of licensing, TMZ reported.
Last year, Trump attended an Aerosmith concert and tweeted it "doesn't get any better than that."
I attended @Aerosmith concert last night in Newark, NJ. Doesn’t get any better than that. @IamStevenT was fantastic, great energy!

This isn't the first time Trump has been asked to stop using a song for his presidential campaign. R.E.M.'s Micheal Stipe slammed Trump for using the song, "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" during a campaign rally. Neil Young also protested Trump's use of his "Rockin' in the Free World" at one of his campaign events.
