Till Lindemann: biography, childhood
He was born on January 4, 1963 in one of the largest German cities - Leipzig. The future musician was brought up in a creative family. His mother graduated with a degree in journalism. At first she wrote articles for a local newspaper, then she worked on the radio. Till's father, Werner Lindemann, is the author of several dozen books for children.
The childhood of our hero passed in the city of Schwerin, located in the north-east of Germany. Till grew up an active and sociable boy. He always had many friends and girlfriends.
In 1975, the parents divorced. At that time, Till was 11 years old, and his younger sister - 6. Father left the apartment for his ex-wife and children. Soon our hero had a stepfather - a US citizen.
Swimming
At 10, Till Lindemann enrolled in a sports school. Several times a week the boy went swimming. He managed to achieve brilliant results in this sport. In 1978, Till was included in the team of the GDR. The team successfully performed at the European Junior Swimming Championships. Lindemann was supposed to go to the Olympics-80 in Moscow. However, fate decreed otherwise. During one of the training sessions, Till Lindemann suffered a serious injury to his abdominal muscles. The leadership of the team replaced him with a stronger and more enduring athlete. Till had to say goodbye to swimming forever.
Musical career: the beginning
In 1992, our hero became a member of the punk rock band First Arsch. There he played keyboards. Both Lindemann's fee and working conditions were completely satisfactory. The only thing he lacked was creative development.
Rammstein
In 1993, Till met with musician Richard Kruspe. They became real friends. It was Richard who invited our hero to become a member of the new group. Lindemann used to play instruments only. And now he had to perform songs from the stage. He decided to take a chance.
In January 1994, metal band Rammstein performed for the first time in one of the halls of Berlin. Talented and charismatic guys managed to conquer the discerning German public.
In 1995, the band released their debut album - Herzeleid. The entire circulation of records was sold out. Then the group went on a tour of Europe. Rammstein concerts gathered full halls. The group pleased the gathered people not only with incendiary music, but also with an incredible pyrotechnic show. The second Rammstein album went on sale in 1997. It was called Sehnsucht. In Germany, this album received platinum status.
The group became world famous for their third record, Mutter, recorded in 2001. Till Lindemann and his colleagues starred in music videos for songs such as Feuer frei, Mutter and Ich will. All these video creations were shown by the largest music channels in Europe.
In the entire history of its existence, members of the Rammstein group have released 7 studio discs, several colorful clips, and also gave hundreds of concerts in different countries (including Russia).
Present
In 2015, Till, along with a Swedish musician, Peter Tagtgren, launched a new project called Lindemann. In June of that year, the band's debut album, Skills in Pills, was presented. All music is written by Peter. But the lead singer and author of the words is Lindemann. The newly-minted group is slowly but surely conquering the world of show business.
Till Lindemann: personal life
Our hero can be called the conqueror of female hearts. In his youth, the talented musician had no end to fans. But the guy did not spray on the girls, but continued to wait for true love.
Till got married early. Unfortunately, the name, surname and occupation of his chosen one were not disclosed. At 22, Lindemann became a father. A charming little daughter named Nele was born. This marriage did not last long. Till Lindemann's wife went to another man, created a new family. And the musician for 7 years alone raised his daughter Nele. Then the mother began to take the girl to her.
Lindemann's second wife was Anya Kezeling, who works as a school teacher. The couple had a common child - a daughter. The baby received the double name of Maria Louise. This marriage was also not strong and short-lived. In October 1997, Till severely beat his wife. Anya could not forgive him for the assault. The woman went to the police and then wrote a divorce statement.
Almost nothing is known about Till's third wife. And we found a logical explanation for this. At that moment, when the lovers officially formalized the relationship, the Rammstein group was at the peak of popularity. Till Lindemann carefully guarded his personal life. However, relations with the third wife also did not work out. Divorce and division of property followed.
Between 2011 and 2015, the lead singer of the Rammstein group met with German actress Sofia Tomalla. Now the heart of a famous musician is free. He is waiting for a new love to appear in his life.
