The book is still listed on Amazon: On October 27th, 2o23, part three of the “River Trilogy” is to be published, the book “Der Rhein” by the two friends Till Lindemann and Joey Kelly.
But nothing will come of it for the time being. According to the German Book Trade Association, the GeraNova Bruckmann publishing house has paused the cooperation and the illustrated book has been put on hold. That reports NDR. The decision on the publication will be postponed until the allegations have been clarified, according to the “Börsenblatt”. You stay in close dialogue with the authors and the management. “We don’t want to be involved in any way in prejudice, but we have great respect for the women who have found the courage to describe their point of view and to make it public,” says publisher Clemens Schüssler. What is meant are the allegations of abusive behavior against the Rammstein singer. In contrast to the publishing house Kiepenheuer & Witsch, which parted ways with Lindemann, a continuation of the cooperation is quite possible.
The description of the content states: “After the Yukon and the Amazon, part 3 of the river trilogy by Till Lindemann and Joey Kelly follows: The Myth of the Rhine. Two men, two extremes, one river. Till Lindemann, singer of Rammstein, and Joey Kelly, member of the Kelly Family. What unites both of them is their passion for nature. After »Yukon« and »Amazonas«, both of them are now exploring the Rhine, Germany’s longest river and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in an interview they tell us what fascinates them about the river in the heart of Europe. The Rhine meanders from the Alps to the North Sea through breathtaking landscapes and connects several countries and cultures. Historical cities like Cologne, Mainz or Basel adorn the banks of the Rhine and tell their centuries-old stories.”
Lindemann and Kelly seem to have had some adventures on their river trips. Including an animal attack on the soft parts of the former Kelly Family musician.
