Singer Joni Mitchell will withdraw her music collection from Spotify, according to her official website.
After the drama starring Spotify, Joe Rogan and Neil Young, things have been quite tense around the Swedish company. Now, it seems that Neil Young is not the only artist who despises sharing a platform with irresponsible people. Recently, singer Joni Mitchell has followed the artist Canadian in his decision to leave Spotify.
On his official website, Mitchell comments that “irresponsible people are spreading lies“, so he has decided to remove all his music from the Spotify platform. Of course, this comment would go directed towards Joe Roganwho has been accused on several occasions -and with evidence in hand- of spreading lies about COVID-19, treatments and vaccines.
