“Berlin – my son ❤️” – that’s the title of a video on Instagram that Christoph Schneider posted on his official Instagram account. In the clip, the Rammstein drummer’s Filius can be seen from behind, wearing ear protection, and dancing to the band’s music from a distance in the auditorium.
The fans of the band think that’s great, of course. “That’s sooo great ❤❤❤❤ He’s proud of his dad. And has a great taste in music ❤”, writes one. Another: “Christoph your son is very proud of you and is incredibly beautiful. We love you ♥️♥️♥️”.
The support of family members is certainly good for Christoph Schneider, as Rammstein has been under constant fire for almost two months. Singer Till Lindemann is accused of abusive behavior by a number of women, and the Berlin public prosecutor is investigating the 60-year-old. Schneider once lost his nerve and cried on stage. He later published a lengthy essay on his Instagram account in which he wrote about the estrangement between Lindemann and the band, but insisted on saying that none of the six musicians had done anything criminal in this context.
In the midst of the latest allegations against keyboardist Flake, Schneider’s name also came up – the drummer was present at one of the wild parties that a fan reports. The woman accompanied Rammstein to their hotel after a concert and drank and celebrated there with several people, including Lindemann, Flake and Schneider, in a hotel pool and then in a hotel room. The woman lost consciousness and woke up naked on the floor the next morning. Beside her: Flake.
Rammstein will play in Berlin on July 22nd and Paris on July 26th. The individual band members have announced through their lawyers that they deny all allegations.
