Despite many negative headlines, the band Rammstein ended their European tour as planned. Now guitarist Richard Kruspe is worrying the fans with a farewell post.
The negative headlines against Rammstein and front singer Till Lindemann have shocked many fans of the band. Several women have made allegations against Lindemann, some of them anonymously. They describe situations that they find frightening. Sexual acts are said to have occurred at after-show parties.
Rammstein: Richard Kruspe addresses cryptic words to the fans
Despite all the allegations, Rammstein has now ended her European tour as planned. Guitarist Richard Kruspe used the occasion to thank followers on Instagram. But many of them are rather concerned about his posting. “Thank you for being you. I do not know how the future will be but in any case will be different” be”), he writes cryptically to a photo of himself on stage.
A “different future” – words that the most loyal Rammstein fans are reluctant to hear. They interpret in Kruspe’s message an end of the band. “You scare us, Richard,” writes a user under the post. “Sounds like the end of the best band,” comments one fan.
Mostly positive feedback
But among the mostly sad answers to Kruspe’s posting, there are also voices that see Rammstein critically. “A future in which sex offenders will certainly no longer be able to do mischief for decades,” writes one user. “I still hope nothing happened, but to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if six guys with power and money weren’t great people,” said one user.
An official statement on the future of the band Rammstein is still pending. So far, the band members have held back when it came to the allegations against Lindemann. Only drummer Christoph Schneider commented on the allegations in a long Instagram post. In it he wrote in mid-June that Lindemann had “removed himself from the band and created his own bubble”.
