RAMMSTEIN: "We Have Been Actively Dealing With The Allegations Made Against The Band Since Last Summer"

Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann faced a slew of allegations throughout 2023 which were investigated – and dropped – by German authorities. The accusations also brought some seemingly internal rifts to light, all while the band was sued over an accusation of plagiarism the following year.

As Lindemann hits stages around the world with his solo band, rumors began circulating that Rammstein may have gone on hiatus. A statement from the band posted on Instagram (and translated by Google) seems to show otherwise.

While Rammstein notes that they're "actively dealing with the allegations made against the band since last summer," they closed their statement with: "It's not Rammstein. It's not us. It's not you. The path continues." So everyone can sleep easy – it seems like Rammstein is here to stay. Though seeing a block of text with the closer "auf wiedersehen" was pretty heart-pounding for a second there.

"We would like to say a big thank you to all of our fans, our friends and visitors to our concerts. Thank you for your support, your warmth and Support on this 2024 tour. We could feel it everywhere and felt carried on a wave full of emotions. It was an honor to be able to play for you, to be a part of these happy moments and the joy we shared. Because of you, we are a band that has found its joy in music and on stage again. Every concert was a healing act for us. We thank you for that.

"We have been actively dealing with the allegations made against the band since last summer. We take this debate seriously, even if much of it is baseless and grossly exaggerated. It is an internal process that will accompany us for a long time. Each of us does it in our own way and deals with it differently. At this point we would particularly like to thank our families and loved ones for their unrestricted support and love; they too were hit hard by the allegations made and the media's handling of them.

"We would like to thank our crew, our management, all our employees and everyone who has supported us and remained loyal along this journey. This huge stadium tour with this great show and this extraordinary stage has now come to an end after 135 concerts in 5 years with 6 million fans. It's not Rammstein. It's not us. It's not you. The path continues.

"Farewell, goodbye, GOODBYE!!"
