'Not Authorized'
The president said that opera singer Christopher Macchio would perform the song at his Trump rally on June 24
Leonard Cohen‘s estate made it clear that it has not authorized President Donald Trump‘s plan to use Cohen’s famed song “Hallelujah” at his Freedom 250 rally on Wednesday night.
“The Leonard Cohen Estate has learned that the song ‘Hallelujah’ is to be performed at a Donald Trump rally on June 24,” read a statement posted on the late singer’s social media. “This use is not authorized, and the Estate does not support or approve of this or any similar usage.”
The estate ended its message with a jab at Trump’s Truth Social catchphrase: “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
