Neil Young Pulling Discography From Amazon Music

Neil Young is urging a boycott of Amazon while removing his music to protest misinformation and corporate practices, continuing actions against multiple major platforms since 2022.

  • On Wednesday, Oct. 8 Neil Young, 79, announced he will pull his music from Amazon and urged fans to boycott the company.
  • Young previously removed music from Spotify in 2022 after vaccine misinformation on The Joe Rogan Experience and deactivated Facebook and Instagram earlier this year over Meta's chatbot concerns.
  • In posts accompanying the announcement, Young pleaded with fans to `BUY DIRECT` and to support local businesses, urging `FORGET AMAZON AND WHOLE FOODS` to fight the Corporate Control Age.
  • It is unclear whether Young's action affects only Amazon Music or also physical products on Amazon, and this continues a pattern as he returned his catalog to Spotify in March 2024.
  • Having headlined major festivals and released new music, Young played Glastonbury festival on June 28, issued a June album with The Chrome Hearts, and released "Big Crime" last month.
