Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are getting the band back together to boycott Spotify.
On Wednesday, David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash announced plans to “remove their collective recordings from Spotify” in solidarity with their bandmate Neil Young, who took a stand against the streaming giant last month. Nash individually renounced the platform earlier this week.
“While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences,” Crosby, Stills and Nash said in a joint statement.
“Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music - or the music we made together - to be on the same platform.”
On Jan. 26, Young became the first of several entertainment figures to pull his content from Spotify in opposition to the audio service’s ongoing support of Rogan. Other artists who soon followed suit include Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren, India Arie and, of course, Nash.
“There is a difference between being open to varying viewpoints on a matter and knowingly spreading false information which some 270 medical professionals have derided as not only false but dangerous,” Nash said Tuesday.

well, bye
More has been hippies trying to remain relevant
That’s a terrible band. They can go to hippy heaven for all I care.
Good riddance.
Look out! Crosby has a gun!!
In rush the 🤡s. The suck runs deep with these used to be 🐃💩
Who cares what these old has-beens do!
See what happens when you compromise with leftists. Spotify should have clearly made a statement backing Rogan and told the artists to pound sand. What’s even more funny is that Rogan is a Bernie Bro. He’s about as conservative as AOC.
All these badass, anti-establishment hippies... what a joke.
All they ever were was a bunch of wannabe commies feeding off the capitalist trough while “protesting” the hand that fed them.
Exactly. How many people even listen to their music anymore. Their generation kuldip probably care less about Spotify.
These old has-beens are seeing this as an opportunity to be relevant again for another five minutes.
Big Pharma puppets.
Or is it- whoever owns them ordered them to do so?
Idiots.
Did they sign their lives away at a young age? Did they keep signing for more?
Their music is not in any way new or inspiring. It is old. It’s classic and some of it can be sung with friends on the back porch, but no one’s buying it.
This is so embarrassing
Ain't virtue signaling fun??
Admittedly, this is a larger blow to Spotify -- but it's still basically just old hippie musicians.
Every day I get a new reason to be ashamed for being a Boomer.
Look at me! No one cares.
Welp that’s it then.
No more dead in O-HI-O. Best make peace with it.
