Donald Trump can't get the satisfaction of playing hit songs by rock giants the Rolling Stones after the band demanded he stopped featuring the tunes at his campaign events.

In a statement, the rock band said they have not given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and "have requested that they cease all use immediately".

The Trump campaign team did not immediately comment.

Mr Trump, an avid music fan, has featured Rolling Stones songs at his rallies for months as part of a diverse soundtrack that includes Elton John, opera and classic rock songs.

The Rolling Stones' 1969 classic You Can't Always Get What You Want was a popular song choice for his events.
