Spotify Technology SA is removing Neil Young’s music from its streaming service after the singer raised concerns this week that the platform’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, is spreading vaccine misinformation, according to a person familiar with the company’s decision.

"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” Young had wrote in a letter to his record company and management team earlier this week. "They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
