Spotify's stock prices have recovered after a drop caused by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removing their music from the platform to protest the streamer's continued platforming of podcast host Joe Rogan, Reuters reported Monday. The two singers accused Rogan of spreading misinformation about COVID-19.
Spotify prices slid from $193.56 per share on Jan. 24 — the day the "Cortez the Killer" singer delivered his ultimatum that Spotify "can have Rogan or Young. Not both" — to just under $173 per share on Friday, a drop of around 10 percent that wiped out over $2 billion in market value.
