Common Music has since suspended selling all of Rammstein‘s music and Lindemann is currently being investigated by Berlin prosecutors “referring to sexual offences and the distribution of narcotics.”
In his assertion, Schneider distance himself and the band from Lindemann‘s events, saying it’s “additionally necessary to us that Until‘s events aren’t confused with our official after-show events.” Schnieder additionally claims that “Until has distanced himself from us in recent times and created his personal bubble.” The next assertion was written in German and translated by way of Google Translate through Loudwire.
“Expensive individuals, I wish to share my private feelings and ideas with you.
“The accusations of the previous couple of weeks have deeply shaken us as a band and me as an individual. You followers definitely too. I really feel as if in shock by the issues which were shared on social media and within the press and in print about our singer. That is an ebb and move of feelings for us band members and crew.
“No, I do not assume something criminally related (equivalent to the usage of knockout drops) occurred. No. I do not assume something unlawful was occurring, I’ve by no means seen something prefer it, nor heard something prefer it from any of our crew of 100 individuals. All I heard from Until‘s events have been adults celebrating collectively. And but issues appear to have occurred that, though legally okay, I personally do not assume are okay. Sure constructions have grown that went past the bounds and values of the opposite band members. Additionally it is necessary to us that Until‘s events aren’t confused with our official after-show events.
“Until has distanced himself from us in recent times and created his personal bubble. With their very own individuals, their very own events, their very own initiatives. That made me unhappy, undoubtedly. I consider Until when he tells us that he all the time needed and nonetheless needs to provide his non-public company an excellent time. How precisely these company had imagined this, nonetheless, appears to vary in some circumstances from his personal concepts. The desires and expectations of the ladies who’ve now come ahead have been most likely not fulfilled. Based on their statements, they felt uncomfortable, on the sting of a state of affairs that they might now not management.
“I really feel sorry for her and I really feel compassion. Nonetheless, it is vital for me to emphasise one thing goal: each visitor within the backstage space is free to go away (they might have to attend a second for safety to guide them safely to the exit). All bottles are sealed and in full view of the company freshly opened or they open them themselves. Water and snacks can be found similar to Safety personnel and medical care obtainable at any time. We would like all of our company to really feel snug and protected with us!
“That is our normal. So I am sorry to listen to that some did not really feel that method. We’ve the best followers on this planet and so they all should be handled with respect! I am sorry for anybody who wasn’t handled kindly or felt unsafe backstage with us. Additionally for Shelby, she deserved an important live performance and a beautiful night.
“However I do not need this entire public dispute about our band to feed the extremes: neither the beast social media, which has not but been tamed by our society, nor paternalistic tendencies to disclaim girls of their mid-20s the power to make self-determined choices about their sexuality and in addition not at all sufferer blaming, so that individuals proceed up to now to speak about it if one thing occurred to them. I want for a peaceful, level-headed reflection and processing, additionally in our band.
