What’s next for Rammstein after the end of the stadium tour? Guitarist Richard Kruspe is now announcing changes via Instagram.
Is the Rammstein era coming to an end? What will happen in the future after the serious allegations against frontman Till Lindemann (60) in particular? It was rumored again and again that Rammstein could not survive the current scandals and that a separation was inevitable. Now guitarist Richard Kruspe (56) is pouring added fuel to the fire of these discussions in a new Instagram post.
He announces changes to a picture of himself on stage after the end of the current European tour at the weekend in Brussels. A dissolution of the band does not seem out of the question either: “Thank you for being you. I don’t know what the future will be like, but it will definitely be different,” writes Kruspe somewhat cryptically in his post.
Many fans interpret Rammstein’s end in Kruspe’s words
Many fans already read from Kruspe’s words that their favorite band could soon be over. Among other things, a follower of Kruspe comments: “I don’t want to read that.” Another writes: “You scare us Richard.” An official statement on the future of the band Rammstein is still pending.
To date, public statements by the band members in connection with the scandals of the past few weeks and months have been rare. Only drummer Christoph Schneider (57) commented on the allegations in a long Instagram post. In it he writes in mid-June that Lindemann has “removed himself from the band and created his own bubble”. That makes him sad.
In his reaction, Schneider wished for “calm, level-headed reflection and processing, also in our band. All together, the six of us. We stand together.” It is not yet known whether this reappraisal has already taken place or has been initiated.
The allegations against Till Lindemann have been circulating since the end of May
Several women, including Northern Ireland’s Shelby Lynn, had made allegations against Lindemann on social networks. At the band’s concerts, young women were “specifically” selected and invited to after-show parties. Sexual acts are also said to have taken place. Lindemann rejects the allegations, his lawyer called them “without exception untrue”. The Berlin public prosecutor announced that investigations had been initiated against Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann. It was about “accusations in the field of sexual offenses and the sale of narcotics”.
