CelebnMusic247.com reports that Spotify is getting CANCELLED by the music industry after Neil Young gave the streaming platform an ultimatum demanding that his catalogue be removed in response to “fake information about vaccines” on the platform.
Neil Young has 6,084,982 monthly listeners who will no longer be able to listen to any of his music since he had all his music removed. And now the rock music industry is following in his footsteps in solidarity.
A Spotify spokesperson told The Washington Post in a statement.
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. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to covid-19 since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.
Young’s letter, which has since been deleted, was addressed to his manager and an executive at his record label and cited Joe Rogan, who hosts “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, as part of his issue with Spotify.
Young wrote Monday, according to Rolling Stone:
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…Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.
I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform…They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.
