Singer James Blunt is joining calls to remove a podcast by the US commentator Joe Rogan from Spotify for promoting anti-vax views.
Blunt jokingly threatened he would release new music if streaming platform Spotify doesn't remove the podcast immediately.
"If @spotify doesn’t immediately remove @joerogan, I will release new music onto the platform," Blunt jokingly tweeted.
It comes after Joni Mitchell and Neil Young removed their music from Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan's podcast.
Young wrote in a since-deleted open letter "they can have Rogan or Young, not both.
"I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines, potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread," he said.
On Wednesday a Spotify spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter they would welcome Young back.
"We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify, but we hope to welcome him back soon."
"We have detailed content policies in place, and we've removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic," they added.
Social media users seemed overjoyed by Blunt's tweet with one person calling it "brilliant".
"You're the hero we need," another said.
"Finally the voice of reason," someone else commented.
