Graham Nash has joined a growing list of artists opting to remove their catalogues from Spotify in protest of the streamer's continued platforming of controversial podcaster, Joe Rogan.
The 79-year-old musician announced his intention to pull his music early this morning, standing in solidarity with his "friend" and former Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young bandmate, Neil Young, who kicked off the wave of removals last week.
"Having heard the COVID disinformation spread by Joe Rogan on Spotify, I completely agree with and support my friend Neil Young and I am requesting that my solo recordings be removed from the service," Nash said in a statement [via Rolling Stone].
Nash joins India.Arie, Joni Mitchell and Crazy Horse/E Street Band member Nils Lofgren, all of whom have all announced their decision to leave Spotify.
CSNY member David Crosby also chimed in on the movement on Twitter, throwing his support behind his sometimes-foes, Young and Nash, saying of his catalogue, "I no longer control it or I would [remove it] in support of Neil." Last year, Crosby sold off his entire music catalogue to Irving Azoff.
"Neil and Joni and Nils and others are correct," Crosby tweeted. "The streamers do carry people telling outright lies that are really doing harm …I would do the same if I could."
As of this writing, Stephen Stills remains silent on the matter.
