A number of bands and artists have spoken out publicly against US presidential candidate Donald Trump using their songs at his rallies and now UK icons The Rolling Stones are the latest to join that list.

As TMZ reports, Trump has used the group's 1982 classic Start Me Up as intro music, as well as their 1969 hit You Can't Always Get What You Want at recent rallies, but the band have hit back with a cease and desist letter. 

A statement from The Rolling Stones' representatives requests that Trump's camp "cease all use immediately".

Other acts including AdeleAerosmith and REM have all demanded their songs stop being used at Trump's campaigns, while Jump Around hitmaker Everlast recently blasted the US businessman, calling him "a piece of human shit" for using his famous track.
