In 2022, Young told the streaming giant to remove hits like Harvest Moon and Heart of Gold, complaining that Rogan was spreading vaccine misinformation.

However, the singer said his return did not reflect a reversal of his stance.

Instead, the decision came after Rogan signed a $250m deal to make his podcast available on multiple platforms, rather than remaining a Spotify exclusive.

"Other music services [including] Apple, Amazon, Qobuz, Tidal... have started serving the same disinformation podcast I had opposed at Spotify," Young wrote on his website.
