Overview
- Alphaville, in an Instagram statement Wednesday, said it will ensure a Truth Social video using its song “Forever Young” is taken down.
- The clip posted by President Donald Trump features AI-made images that show him from childhood to the present with the track as the soundtrack.
- The band explicitly bans any further use of its music by the Republican Party or the president, with the note signed by singer Marian Gold.
- There is no public confirmation that the video has been removed or that formal legal action has been filed at this stage.
- The move follows years of artists telling Trump not to use their songs, with outlets noting prior objections from names such as Kesha, Jack White, Céline Dion, and Bruce Springsteen.
