Two years after quitting over podcasts that he worried could endanger the lives of listeners, he returned to Spotify, because, he said, if he came off the other platforms now hosting Joe Rogan, fans would have 'very little streaming outlet'.
Neil Young has returned his music to Spotify, two years after he removed it over the streaming giant's exclusive deal with podcaster Joe Rogan, whom he accused of vaccine disinformation. In a message posted on his website on Tuesday, the legendary singer-songwriter said: 'Music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast I had opposed at Spotify.
In an April 2021 episode, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rogan discouraged young people from getting vaccinated, saying: 'If you’re like 21 years old, and you say to me, ‘Should I get vaccinated?’ I’ll go, no.' The following January, Young, 78, published an open letter saying he was removing his music 'because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines', which, he said, was 'potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them'.
