Neil Young confirms that his music will be removed from Spotify in new statement

In a new statement shared on Wednesday, Neil Young confirmed that his music will be removed from Spotify. In a post shared on his website earlier this week, the singer-songwriter blasted Spotify and its popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience for "spreading fake information about [COVID-19] vaccines," and demanded that the platform either pull his music or its support for Rogan.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Spotify is currently in the process of removing Young's music. Young's new statement goes into further detail behind his decision.

He claims he was inspired by the over 200 physicians who signed a petition asking Spotify “take action against mass-misinformation events.” The petition specifically points to an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience with guest Dr.

Robert Malone, a virologist notorious for spreading discredited theories and falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines. "I realized I could not continue to support SPOTIFY's life threatening misinformation to the music loving public," Young writes.
