Longtime Haulix client and friend Till Lindemann of Rammstein has caught the virus currently sweeping the globe.
The virus known as Covid-19 continues to infect hundreds of thousands around the globe. Data from earlier today, March 27, reveals there are more than 400,000 active cases worldwide. The vast majority are likely to recover, but thousands will no doubt die, which makes the need for everyone to do their part immensely important.
Throughout the week, there have been numerous high-profile cases of Covid-19 making headlines. Actor Tom Hanks and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are probably the most notable, but as the disease continues to spread, more public figures are becoming infected.
Today, German publication Bild broke the news that Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann is currently in the ICU. The fiery frontman is battling Covid-19 alongside many others since being admitted to the hospital following the band’s March 15 performance in Moscow.
Doctors initially believed Lindemann was suffering from pneumonia. He entered quarantine shortly after admittance and remains there at this time. That said, the report says he is on the mend, and there is hope he will make a full recovery.
Rammstein has a massive European tour in June and July, followed by a North American tour scheduled for late summer, which as of now, are both still on despite coronavirus concerns independent of Lindemann’s illness.
