Neil Young's request has been granted. Spotify said Wednesday it is working on removing the rock legend's music from the platform in response to his claims it spreads COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. Young wrote an open letter on Monday to his manager Frank Gironda and Tom Corson, co-chairman and chief operating officer of Warner Bros. Records, demanding his classic collection of songs be pulled due to the disinformation and specifically called out Spotify's popular podcast host Joe Rogan. "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” Young said. "They can have (Joe) Rogan or Young. Not both." Two days later, Spotify obliged. "We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators," a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement. "We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon."
