Two years later, Joni Mitchell has put her music back on Spotify after protesting the platform's support for Joe Rogan, who opposes vaccines.
Joni Mitchell's return to Spotify follows Neil Young's earlier rejoining, as other platforms started carrying Joe Rogan's podcast.
In January 2022, Mitchell announced her music was being removed from Spotify to support Neil Young's protest against false vaccine information.
At that time, Neil Young stated, “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.”
There was no response from representatives of Joni Mitchell and Spotify to the New York Times, but fans of the singer celebrated her return to Spotify.
Fans expressed joy at Joni Mitchell's return to Spotify, excited to listen to their favorite songs again.
Fans expressed their relief with tweets as Joni Mitchell's albums were once again available to stream on Spotify.
Mitchell made a rare appearance at the 66th Grammy Awards in February to perform her 1966 hit “Both Sides Now” during a ceremony that included other memorable performances.
