Till Lindemann, 56 years old

Till Lindemann’s father was a well-known poet in the GDR and passed his genes on to his son. The heart of the poet can be clearly seen in the lyrics of his band Rammstein, which are recited in a creepy voice. Lindemann is a versatile and talented artist who has played in other bands besides Rammstein. He can also play the guitar and drums and is mostly active as a singer. Many of Rammstein’s texts are based on 20th-century poetry such as Goethe, Schiller and Theodor Fontane, and he has also written several books of poetry himself. He is also a former competitive swimmer and was part of the East German Olympic team. Lindemann has two daughters (he raised the first alone for a long time) and a son.
