(ANSA) WASHINGTON, JUNE 22 - The family of the late American musician Tom Petty formally warned Donald Trump to use the song 'I Won't Back Down' in his campaign, as he did at the Tulsa rally. A campaign, they wrote on Twitter, that "has left too many Americans and common sense behind." "We are firmly against racism - they explain - and any kind of discrimination, Tom Petty would not have wanted this song to be used for a hate campaign". The family declares its support for America and democracy and states that "Donald Trump is not representing the nobles of either of them." "We would be sorry that the fans marginalized by this administration thought that we are complicit in the use of this song," conclude the relatives of Petty, guitarist, singer and composer known to have been the frontman of the groups Mudcrutch and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, as well as founding member of the traveling group SuperWilburys .
