Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler has asked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to stop using the band's power ballad Dream On at campaign events.
Attorneys for Tyler have sent a second cease-and-desist letter to Mr Trump’s campaign committee, saying he does "not have our client's permission to use Dream On or any of Tyler's other songs".
The letter adds that it "gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid".
Tyler, a registered Republican, went to the GOP contenders' first debate in August.
Attorney Dina LaPolt said in a statement that the letter is not a "political" or "personal issue with Mr Trump", but one of permission and copyright.
Representatives for Mr Trump, who is the Republican frontrunner, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
