Crosby, Still and Nash said in their statement that they support Neil Young’s decision, agreeing that “dangerous misinformation is being broadcast on the Joe Rogan podcast on Spotify.”

In his opinion, such misinformation can have “lethal consequences” in the midst of a global pandemic.

Spotify announced on Sunday that it would include a content notice on “every episode of a podcast that includes a discussion of Covid-19”, but was unwilling to break its contract with Rogan, after the controversy triggered by Young’s decision. .

In their statement, Crosby, Stills and Nash stressed that they do not want their music, or music they made together, to continue on that platform “until real steps are taken to show that concern for humanity is on a par with business.” .
