Lindemann have broken up. The Rammstein side project, named for frontman Till Lindemann in partnership with Swedish producer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Tägtgren, announced the news on Facebook

The statement read, "Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgren end their collaboration on 'Lindemann'!

"As Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgren confirm today, the two artists have ended their collaboration on the project 'Lindemann'. Both will be pursuing their own plans in the future.

"Lindemann and Tägtgren are currently working on a final joint release, a live DVD of their show in Moscow 2020, which will be released in spring 2021.

"Till Lindemann will be active under the name 'Lindemann' within a new set up in the future."

Lindemann released two albums: 2015's Skills In Pills, and 2019's F & M

Last month, Rammstein posted footage of drummer Christoph ‘Doom’ Schneider behind his kit at La Fabrique studios in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. 

The industrial-metal behemoths had previously confirmed that they were back in the same studio where they recorded 2019’s untitled album.  

The band are scheduled to kick off their postponed European and North American tours in May 2021. Full dates below.
