Joni Mitchell joins Neil Young’s Spotify protest over anti-vax content

Mitchell calls for her music to be removed from platform too, citing irresponsible people spreading lies'

In an act of solidarity between two veteran rock stars with a shared history of espousing progressive causes, Joni Mitchell has joined Neil Young in removing her music from Spotify in protest at it hosting a popular anti-vax podcast.

Mitchell, whose 1971 album Blue is regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is the first high-profile musician to take a stand alongside Young against the streaming behemoth.
