Leonard Cohen’s estate responds to unauthorized use of 'Hallelujah' at RNC
Kelly responded in a since-deleted tweet,"Seeing messages about my version of 'Hallelujah'. All I know is neither myself nor my team received a request."
But Michelle L. Rice, a legal representative of Cohen's estate, commented on how"surprised and dismayed" they felt with the RNC song choice, which they had declined.
Sony/ATV Music Publishing president and global chief marketing officer Brian J. Monaco echoed Rice's sentiments in the same email statement, writing,"On the eve of the finale of the convention, representatives from the Republican National Committee contacted us regarding obtaining permission for a live performance of Leonard Cohen’s 'Hallelujah'. We declined their request."
