According to The Gauntlet, Rammstein's management has dismissed as a hoax a press release that was issued on the band's behalf announcing the departure of singer Till Lindemann and addition of En Esch (KMFDM, Pigface, Slick Idiot) as his replacement. "The news that Till would be leaving the group following the completion of its new record is not true and was not released by either band or management," a group representative said. "We have no idea where this comes from. The band is writing a new album at present."
