Spotify is in the process of removing famous singer-songwriter Neil Young’s recordings from its streaming platform, the company announced on Wednesday.

On Monday, Young briefly posted an open letter on his own website, asking his management and record company to remove his music from the streaming giant, in protest against distribution by podcaster Joe Rogan’s platform. Rogan has been widely criticized for spreading misinformation about coronavirus vaccines on his podcast, which is now distributed exclusively on Spotify.

According to rolling stoneYoung’s letter, which was addressed to his manager and an executive at Warner Music Group, said in part: “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading false information about vaccines that can cause death to those who believe misinformation is spread by them… They can have Rogan or Young. Not both. The letter was quickly removed from Young’s website.

Spotify’s cleanup of Young’s service was first reported on Wednesday afternoon by The Wall Street Journal. His removal from the streaming platform makes him one of the most popular musical artists not to appear on Spotify, where his songs have garnered hundreds of millions of streams.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Young’s albums were still available to stream on Spotify. In a statement sent to NPR on Wednesday afternoon, a Spotify spokesperson wrote, “We want all the music and audio content in the world to be available to Spotify users. With that comes a great responsibility for balance both listener safety and creator freedom. We have detailed content policies in place and have removed over 20,000 COVID-related podcast episodes since the pandemic began. We regret Neil’s decision to delete his music from Spotify, but hope to see him again soon.

Earlier this month, Young sold 50% of his songwriting rights to British investment firm Hipgnosis Songs, founded by music industry veteran Merck Mercuriadis. Most of the recordings in Young’s discography are distributed by Warner Music Group, although a handful are distributed by Universal Music Group.

Editor’s Note: Spotify is one of NPR’s backers, and the network’s programs are available on the streaming service.
