“I Don’t Want Netflix Ruining the Van Morrison Legacy With Some Woke Agenda” — Van Morrison Issues Blunt Warning Ahead of Upcoming Documentary

Van Morrison Slams Netflix: ‘They’ll Wreck My Legacy With Woke Nonsense!

Legendary singer-songwriter Van Morrison is not holding back as news breaks that Netflix is developing a documentary chronicling his life and career. In a recent statement, Morrison voiced concern over what he calls the platform’s tendency to **“inject a woke agenda”** into artistic stories — a move he fears could distort his legacy.

> *“I don’t want Netflix ruining the Van Morrison legacy with some woke agenda,”* he said candidly. *“If they’re going to tell my story, they better stick to the music and the truth — not some politically correct rewrite.”*

Known for his timeless hits like *“Brown Eyed Girl,” “Moondance,”* and *“Into the Mystic,”* Van Morrison has long stood apart as both a musical icon and a fiercely independent voice. But as streaming platforms continue to explore more socially conscious narratives, Morrison’s comments have sparked debate over the direction of music documentaries and the balance between storytelling and social messaging.

The Netflix documentary, still in early production, is slated for release in **2025**. While few details have emerged, sources claim it will explore Morrison’s musical evolution, influences, and occasionally controversial public stances — the latter of which appears to be the singer’s main concern.

To counter what he perceives as a potential misrepresentation, Morrison has revealed plans to **launch his own show by August**, where he says he’ll have **full creative control**. The show, reportedly a blend of live performance, interviews, and commentary, will allow him to “set the record straight” in his own voice — unfiltered and on his own terms.

> *“I’ll tell my story the way it happened. No edits, no spin — just the truth and the music.”*

Reactions to Morrison’s statements have been mixed. Some fans applaud his refusal to be “sanitized” by corporate storytelling, while others argue that Netflix’s track record with music documentaries (like those on Taylor Swift and Kanye West) shows a commitment to depth and authenticity.

One thing is certain — as Van Morrison prepares to go head-to-head with Netflix’s vision of his legacy, the world will be watching. And in true Morrison fashion, it’ll likely be on his own terms.
