Mitchell, known for hits such as “Big Yellow Taxi,” writes on her website that she supports Young “and the scientific and medical communities worldwide.” Mitchell and Young are good friends and have in common that they overcame polio in the 1950’s – just before a vaccine came along. Polio is an infectious disease that can cause permanent paralysis.
Mitchell does not mention Rogan in her reasons for leaving Spotify. But she does refer to a document signed by scientists urging Spotify to cancel an episode of Rogan’s podcast.
Spotify says it has already removed 20,000 podcasts about corona. The platform hopes Young will return.
