George Harrison's Estate Slams Trump
George Harrison's estate has condemned Donald Trump for use of The Beatles' classic 'Here Comes The Sun' at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
The song, featured on the Beatles' 1969 album 'Abbey Road' was written by Harrison. It was played to accompany Trump's daughter, Ivanka, onto the stage as she introduced her father.
"The unauthorised use of 'Here Comes the Sun' at the RNC is offensive & against the wishes of the George Harrison estate," a tweet from Harrison’s official Twitter account read.

Harrison's estate later added: "If it had been [Harrison's 1970 solo track] 'Beware of Darkness', then we MAY have approved it! #TrumpYourself".
