Neil Young to return music to Spotify as he attacks ‘disinformation’ across streaming services


Rock star left Spotify in 2022 in protest over podcaster Joe Rogan, but says he can’t keep up fight as Rogan broadens distribution to Apple, YouTube and Amazon

Young removed his entire catalogue from the world’s biggest streaming company in January 2022, in protest against Joe Rogan whose chart-topping podcast was exclusive to Spotify. Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek also apologised, saying: “We have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely accepted information from the medical and scientific communities.” Nevertheless, in April he is heading out on a tour promoted by Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s parent company, playing 16 dates across North America with his band Crazy Horse.
