NOT ON SPOTIFY - Neil Young wrote a letter to his managers and record label to remove his music from Spotify because of COVID-19 misinformation from 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, which it hosts on the platform.

"Before I told my friends at Warner Bros about my desire to leave the SPOTIFY platform, I was reminded by my own legal forces that contractually I did not have the control of my music to do that," Young said.

In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming platform said they"have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic."
