Rolling Stones dispute Melania producer’s claim Mick Jagger ‘gave blessing’ for song to be used in documentary
Rolling Stones hit back over Melania producer’s song claim
- Producer Mark Beckman claimed The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger personally approved the use of 'Gimme Shelter' in the Melania documentary.
- A representative for The Rolling Stones disputed Beckman's claim, stating the music licensing deal was made directly with rights holders ABKCO, without the band's involvement.
- The Amazon MGM Studios documentary, which follows Melania Trump, also drew criticism for using Jonny Greenwood's score from Phantom Thread without his or director Paul Thomas Anderson's consent.
- Beckman stated that Guns N' Roses ultimately blocked the use of one of their songs due to internal disagreement among band members.
- The Prince estate reportedly refused permission for a song, citing that Prince would not have wanted his music associated with Donald Trump.
