The German metal band Rammstein will investigate the allegations against singer Till Lindemann about his dealings with women. According to information available to the dpa news agency, the band has hired a law firm for this.
The investigation must provide a state of affairs of the entire situation. For example, the law firm must check whether there is drug use without the knowledge of those involved during concerts.
Several women have made accusations against the 60-year-old singer in recent days, partly anonymously. There would be sexually transgressive behavior. Some women allegedly had sex against their will and others claim they were drugged. Young women would be chosen during concerts, and then asked to go to an after party.
In a statement, the band responded a few days ago that it takes the allegations ‘extremely seriously’.
Casting director fired
Rammstein is currently on a European tour. This week the band will play four days in Munich from Wednesday. Changes have already been made here. For example, there will be no ‘row zero’. This is the practice of picking young, usually female, fans from the audience and then putting them in the front row. There are also no after parties planned.
The woman who had to choose the young, beautiful women has now been fired, the German media report. Alena Makeeva (35) described herself on Instagram as ‘casting director on the tour with Till Lindeman’. In her search for a ‘suitable’ audience for row zero and the after parties, Makeeva often explicitly asked about women who liked having sex with Lindemann, sometimes she confined herself to more veiled descriptions, genre ‘having fun’.
The Russian Makeeva presented herself as a good friend of the frontman, whom she got to know herself as a fan when Rammstein headlined the Rock over the Volga festival in Samara (Russia), Makeeva’s hometown, in 2013.
At the beginning of August, the band is programmed for three consecutive days at the King Baudouin station in Brussels.
