The “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” singers will donate proceeds from streams of their music to COVID-19 charities for at least a month, PEOPLE confirms.Billboardwas first to report the news.
Their announcement came shortly after former bandmateNeil Young did the same in January, giving Spotify an ultimatum to choose either his music or Rogan’s podcast, which is the platform’s top podcast.
“We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast,” the statement read. “While we always value alternative points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. 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.”

Rogan, who has claimed he is not an anti-vaxxer, has discouraged vaccinations in young people and children, falsely claiming that mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” and promoting off-label use of ivermectin to treat COVID, which the FDA has previously warned against.
Amid the criticism, Rogan said in an Instagram video that he would make more of an effort to"balance out" the controversial opinionson his show.
