Accusations against Rammstein after a concert in Vilnius – Till Lindemann allegedly drugged a visitor

What happened ? On May 22, 2023, Rammstein gave a concert in Vilnius. An Irishwoman who attended the concert, Shelby Lynn, was approached by an employee of the Rammstein team in order to allow her access to “Row Zero”, that is to say a separate area located even before the front row and reserved for selected concertgoers – a standard procedure at Rammstein.

Shelby Lynn was reportedly invited along with other Row Zero castmates to a pre-show party, where she believes she received a shot of tequila from Till Lindemann. During a break between concerts, Lynn was allegedly taken backstage to sleep with the Rammstein singer – when the concertgoer turned down the offer, the singer allegedly reacted strongly. Following the following tweet, Lynn wrote many more posts in which she describes what happened.

Injuries after the concert: On Twitter, Shelby Lynn posted photos and videos of her injuries. She can’t remember how she got those bruises. Shelby Lynn says she only partially remembers the evening and suffered for several days from nausea, chills and palpitations. This concert regular is therefore certain that drugs have been put in her drink – probably Lindemann’s shot of tequila.

Accusations de Shelby Lynn : In a tweet, Lynn clarified that she is not accusing Till Lindemann of rape or other violent crimes. However, she wants to oppose with all her might that Rammstein and the team of the group can in the future drug other girls from Row Zero.
