Neil Young penned — and then deleted — an open letter criticizing Spotify and Joe Rogan for 'spreading false information' about COVID-19 vaccines.
At one point, Rogan discouraged young people from getting vaccinated. After a backlash, he walked back those comments somewhat, insisting that he isn’t “an anti-vax person” and admitting he’s “not a respected source of information.”
As the highly contagious Omicron variant spreads across the United States, COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots have continued to be the most effective methods of protection against severe illness and death, experts say.Rocker Neil Young ‘can’t shake the feeling’ that Farm Aid 2021 might not be safe for all — especially kids — as COVID-19’s Delta variant surges.
“Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule,” Young continued in his statement. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately today that I want all of my music off their platform. They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.” A representative for Rogan did not immediately respond Tuesday to the Los Angeles Times’ request for comment. Neither did Spotify.
