Following Neil Young earlier this week, Joni Mitchell announced Friday that she intends to pull her music from Spotify in protest of the platform’s support for people who spread misinformation and “lies” about the COVID-19 vaccines.
“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue,” Mitchell said in a statement posted to her official site.
Mitchell didn’t mention podcast superstar Joe Rogan by name, but Neil Young specifically cited Rogan’s frequent promotion of misinformation about vaccines and COVID-19 as the reason he pulled his music from the streaming service.
