Nancy Sinatra responds to Donald Trump having 'My Way' performed at presidential inauguration

"And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain."

Nancy Sinatra made it clear two weeks ago that she believed her father Frank Sinatra would not have supported Donald Trump, or performed at his inauguration.

Now a fan has asked her how she feels about the prospect of 'My Way' being sung at the event, after reports that the famous song would be performed for Trump's first dance with his wife Melania as US President.

It seems fitting considering the concern over how a Trump presidency will unfold and also given Sinatra's previous comments, that "DT [Donald Trump] has very bad judgement. It's going to be a rough ride".

It is the most frequently-played song at British funeral services.

Sinatra himself came to hate the song, according to his daughter Tina, who said he "always thought that song was self-serving and self-indulgent".

"Just remember the first line of the song," she responded.

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
You c***, I'm not a q****
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And yet, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets. I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention.
But dig, what I have to do
I'll see it through with no devotion
Of that, take care and just
Be careful along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
There were times,
I´m sure you knew
When there was but but
F****** else to do
But through it all,
When there was doubt
I shot it up or kicked it out

It's Anka's song anyway, not Sinatra's (even if he did make it famous).

And therefore totally befitting for a Trump event. Everything he does is his way.
