Johnny Marr, founding guitarist of the Smiths, has spoken out against the use of "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" at a recent rally for Donald Trump.
Reporter Ben Jacobs attended a recent event for Trump, and noted in a posting on X that the Smiths had been added to the presumptive Republican nominee's pre-show playlist.
Eventually, the video found its way to Marr, who promised to put a stop to his music being played at Trump's rallies. "Ahh…right…OK," he wrote on X, "I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass. Consider this shit shut right down right now."
There has been no comment from Morrissey at the time of writing.
