Adele has told Donald Trump that he does not have permission to use her songs at campaign rallies after fans expressed their anger that the Presidential hopeful was using the singer’s hits as his warm-up music.

The Republican frontrunner has consistently played Adele’s smash hit "Rolling In The Deep", with its “we could have had it all” refrain, to stoke up the atmosphere at campaign events before his appearance.

Trump, an Adele fan who attended her New York concert last year, has also played Skyfall, the singer’s James Bond theme (“when it crumbles, we will stand tall, face it all together”) after delivering his apocalyptic stump speech about America’s future.

Adele’s fans have expressed anger at Trump’s appropriation of her music for his campaign. “Don't suppose he asked for her endorsement. Hopefully she's objected,” tweeted one.
