Rammstein react to the allegations against singer Til Lindemann: “Do not participate in public prejudice of any kind.”
The band Rammstein (since 1994) has responded to the allegations that have been circulating against singer Til Lindemann (60) for a few days. Several women had reported to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” (investigative research association) about alleged misconduct in the context of the after-show parties.
“The releases of the last few days have caused irritation and questions in public and especially among our fans. The allegations have all hit us very hard and we take them extremely seriously,” the band said on Friday evening for the first time. The , reads: “We say to our fans: It is important to us that you feel comfortable and safe at our shows – in front of and behind the stage.”
Against “public prejudice”
The six musicians don’t want any “public prejudice” – in either direction. “We condemn any kind of transgression and ask you: Do not participate in public prejudice of any kind against those who have made allegations. They have a right to their point of view,” the post reads.
But the band demands this not only for the women who raise the allegations, but also for themselves: “But we, the band, also have a right – namely not to be prejudiced either.”
