LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 09: UFC commentator Joe Rogan announces the fighters during a ceremonial weigh in for UFC 264 at T-Mobile Arena on Jin Las Vegas, Nevada. “I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”ĭavid Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash also backed Young, their former band mate, by announcing that they want their music off Spotify. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” Mitchell wrote on her website Friday. Not both,” the musician said.įollowing Young’s lead, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell said over the weekend that she, too, will remove her music from Spotify Here’s a list of artists who have left Spotify because of Rogan:Īrguably the biggest name to pull content from Spotify, Neil Young said last week he wanted his music removed because the platform is “spreading fake information about vaccines - potentially causing death to those who believe this disinformation spread by them.” Spotify said it is adding a content advisory to any podcast that includes a discussion about Covid-19.

Rogan responded to the controversy earlier this week, saying he’s “not trying to promote misinformation” and that he never “tried to do anything with this podcast other than just talk to people and have interesting conversations.” While the departures are far from an exodus, the names that have pulled their content because of Rogan - who has made inaccurate claims about Covid-19 and vaccines on his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast - are notable. Its stock took a big hit Wednesday because of a slowing growth forecast, and the company has seen creators from the music and podcasting world desert the platform because of comments by comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan.
