Canadian singer ‘horrified’ to learn of former president’s use of his record during campaign event
Rufus Wainwright says he was “horrified” to learn that Donald Trump played his cover version of “Hallelujah” during a presidential campaign event in Pennsylvania on Monday.
Wainwright’s representatives noted that the publishing company for Cohen’s estate also sent a cease-and-desist order to Trump’s campaign. High temperatures in the room led to two medical emergencies and organizers paused the discussion for about half an hour of music. Wainwright had a close relationship with Cohen before his death in 2016. The musician and Cohen’s daughter Lorca had a child together via artificial insemination and raised their daughter jointly with Wainwright’s husband.
