Spotify did not respond to a request for comment.Įarlier this month, a group of more than 250 scientists, doctors and nurses penned an open letter to Spotify condemning the company for platforming Rogan and calling on Spotify to warn its listeners about misinformation. On Twitter, the hashtag #DeleteSpotify went viral as some users said they canceled their Spotify subscriptions in support of the 76-year-old musician.

“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines - potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” he wrote in the deleted post, according to Rolling Stone. Spotify followed Young’s request by removing his catalog from the platform and said it hopes “to welcome him back soon.” Young, who has been an advocate for Covid-19 safety and prevention, had about 6 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

On his Spotify podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the comedian has made frequent false and inaccurate claims surrounding vaccines and Covid-19, while also hosting numerous controversial guests. Earlier this week, Young expressed in a now-deleted post on his official website that he no longer wanted his music on Spotify because of its relationship with divisive podcast host Joe Rogan.
