Rammstein‘s lead singer, Till Lindemann, is embroiled in a legal dispute with German magazine Spiegel over allegations of falsified documents.
The conflict stems from a controversial article published by Spiegel last year that accused Lindemann and the band of serious sexual misconduct at their exclusive “Row 0” afterparties.
Following the article’s publication, Lindemann‘s legal team successfully blocked Spiegel from releasing further reports on the matter.
While the band issued a statement acknowledging the allegations and promising an internal investigation, Lindemann has remained largely silent until now.
His recent cryptic Instagram post has fueled speculation about his future and potential withdrawal from the public eye.
His latest poem posted on his Instagram, what some fans are think is his goodbye, can be read in full below.
Everything has its time
Here I am now, very ready nothing can stop me from walking the past throws up wrinkles better later than too late if unfortunately it no longer works you should grab a hat and coat to venture out into the wide world new view, away from the old look for new shores smeared with guilt fades into atonement need new colors new stages I don’t ask for your understanding I don’t need any other dish either the verdict was already made that day before asking me about the night only light there in times of need Torches like in “ROSENRED”* Words and mood chilled I’ve never felt so lonely life is in shambles continue further into ruin The forest burned Nothing left to clear but ash is the best soil to get out of it hopefully I bow here with full thanks So it’s not easy to leave at all The time with you was really nice.
