Joni Mitchell says she stands with Neil Young and has decided to remove all her music from streaming giant Spotify. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives.”

On her website, she includes a letter signed by a coalition of scientists, medical professionals, and professors that criticizes Spotify for featuring Rogan podcasts that they say include misinformation about the pandemic, including discouraging vaccinations in young people and children.

Spotify, which has a multi-year distribution agreement with Rogan, granted Young’s request on Wednesday and within hours began taking down his albums.“I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify,” reads the statement. “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 first became well known in the 1960s for composing and performing songs such as “The Circle Game,” “Both Sides Now,” and “Woodstock.”This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 28, 2022.
