Written by Yungblud has responded to criticism after posing for a photograph with Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann.
Lindemann recently posted a photograph of himself with the British singer on social media, taken in Australia where both men were on tour. “Absolute pleasure meeting @yungblud in Perth,” wrote Lindemann. “Have fun in Mumbai!”
The photo prompted a backlash from Yungblud fans, who drew attention to allegations of backstage impropriety made by female fans against the singer in 2023.
The Rammstein singer’s legal team called the allegations “without exception untrue”, and German prosecutors dropped their investigation the same year after being unable to provide any evidence to support the allegations.
However, some Yungblud fans expressed disappointment on social media that he had posed for the photograph in light of the allegations, prompting the singer to respond via an audio message posted in his Instagram channel.
“I had absolutely no idea. Obviously, at the minute I’m meeting a lot of people every day without knowing fully who they are or what they’re about,” he said.
“And I can assure you, if I knew about any allegations, it would have been a completely different story.
“You all know what I stand for, always. And I’ll be more for it in the future. I love you all.”
Yungblud is currently on a world tour in support of his 2025 album, Idols Pt 1. He plays UK dates in April, with US shows beginning in May. Full dates below.
