UPDATE – 8:15 P.M EST The Daily Beast received an emailed statement from lead singer Michael Stipe, where he appeared to turn up the heat on Trump and Cruz. “Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you — you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men,” Stipe reportedly said. “Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign.”
