Music by the other artists still appears on the platform.

Lofrgen played piano and guitar on Young’s album, "After the Gold Rush," and has played on and off with Young’s band for years. Nils Lofgren, guitarist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, also asked for his music to be pulled from Spotify, but Springsteen did not. 31, Mitchell is the only person listed who requested for her music to be removed. "Breaking 🚨 Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Queen, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Dave Grohl, Joni Mitchell, Pearl Jam are removing their music from Spotify in solidarity with Neil Young!!! #Spotify can keep the fascists. The story cited a viral tweet as its source. There is no evidence that these artists have asked to leave the streaming platform. "Springsteen Queen Pearl Jam Dave Grohl All Remove Music From Spotify!" reads a headline published on a blog called "CelebNMusic247."


Spotify members started to cancel their accounts and other artists, like singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, began to follow Young’s lead.īut one article circulating online goes a little too far it wrongly claims that artists such as Bruce Springsteen and Dave Grohl removed their music from Spotify, too. After Neil Young demanded that Spotify remove his music over COVID-19 misinformation spread by podcaster Joe Rogan, a lot of things happened almost all at once.
