Hipgnosis, in turn, has created a $1B partnership with Blackstone to invest in songs, recorded music, music IP and royalties. Guess who bought into his music!Ī UK company called Hipgnosis has acquired 50% of Neil Young’s song catalog for around $150m. One problem, he has sold enough of the control of his music catalogue that he actually doesn’t have the final say on whether it gets pulled from a platform or not. Neil Young has been trending on Twitter for days and all over mainstream media for issuing Spotify an ultimatum, telling them to cancel Joe Rogan or he would remove his music from Spotify.
Sometimes these things surface after their death but in the case of Neil Young it may well have become apparent already. Selling out and being the complete opposite of what you claim to be is nothing new – many of Earth’s most prominent characters have, in truth, fit into this category in important ways.
Peakd reports : Turns out Pfizer may have had a direct hand in the decision for Young to say what he has said – how ironic for such a ‘rebel’. However in August, a month before the merger, Blackstone announced that they appointed Pfizer’s former Chairman and CEO Jeffrey B Kindler as the company’s senior advisor. Later on that year Hipgnosis merged with Blackstone in a billion dollar deal. On January 6, 2021, Neil Young sold half of his music catalogue to Merck Mercuriadis’ Hipgnosis Song Management company. or could it be that there was another reason for his decision?Īccording to reports, owners of Young’s music rights are advised by a former Pfizer CEO! The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) even sided with the singer over his stance.īut why would Neil Young be so bothered about somebody discussing covid, the jabs and alternative medications during a Spotify podcast…. Niamh Harris – Neil Young, in case you hadn’t heard, recently pulled his music from Spotify after the music streaming giant refused to bow to his demands and remove Joe Rogan from their platform for spreading alleged dangerous covid “misinformation.”
