Rammstein Drummer Breaks Silence Amid Shocking Allegations Against Frontman Till Lindemann: 'We Stand Together'

Rammstein drummer Christoph Schneider jumped to Till Lindemann's defense amid the recent sexual assault and drug-related allegations.

Lindeman has been bombarded with several allegations over the last few weeks amid Rammstein's ongoing shows. The frontman has since suffered losses as a result, including Kiepenheuer & Witsch dropping him as a client and Universal Music halting the band's promotions while the investigation remains underway.

Still, his bandmates are making sure they are "all in this together."

Rammstein Frontman Till Lindemann Receives Support From Drummer Christoph Schneider

On Scheneider's official Instagram page, the drummer penned a lengthy letter in German (translated version as shared by Loudwire) to defend Lindemann from the recent exposés.

He said the accusations that emerged over the past weeks deeply shook him and the band, calling it an "ebb and flow of emotions."

As for the allegations, the drummer firmly said he does not believe the allegations happened since Lindemann only arranged parties for adults who want to celebrate with them.

"Certain structures have grown that went beyond the limits and values of the other band members," he said. "It is also important to us that Till's parties are not confused with our official after-show parties."

Despite saying that he had never seen or heard anything illegal happening at Lindemann's private parties, he also noted that the frontman "distanced himself" from them over the past years. Schneider also acknowledged the statements made by women who reportedly experienced the assault, saying he feels sorry for the alleged victims.

The drummer continued his statement by saying that Rammstein has the greatest fans in the world and apologized to everyone who felt unsafe backstage.

Mentioning Shelby, Schneider said the fan truly deserved a great concert but reportedly had a traumatic experience.

Amid the divided fandom, he declared that all members of Rammstein stand together.

Rammstein's Promotions On Hold

In a statement to New York Times (via Loudwire), Universal Music announced that it halted the marketing and promotion of Rammstein and offered great respect to all the women who spoke in public regarding the case.

A spokesperson for the Berlin public prosecutor's office previously said that preliminary proceedings have since been launched to look into the alleged sexual and drug-related offenses.

Meanwhile, the band initially said in a statement that the allegations never happened before any of their shows.
