Till Linderman

Till Lindemann (b. 4 January 1963) is a German musician who is most notable as being the lead-vocalist for the German Tanz-Metall..Lindemann was born in Leipzig, but he grew up in the village of Wendisch-Rambow in Schwerin (East Germany). His father, Werner Lindemann, was a poet, and his mother, Brigitte "Gitta" Lindemann, is an artist and writer who has co-written at least one book with her husband. Lindemann has one sister, six years younger than himself. At age 11 he went to a sports school at the Rostock Sport Club, and from 1977-1980 attended a boarding school. His parents divorced in 1975, when he was age 12.
In the years 1976-1979, Lindemann was a good swimmer who became junior vice-European champion and was considered to be a swimmer in the Olympics 1980. But he left the sports school in 1979. It is possible that he was thrown out of sports school due to his sneaking out, unaccompanied, of a hotel in Italy on a swimming tour. But he also suffered an injury, a torn abdominal muscle - so either reason could be valid. According to Lindemann, "I never liked the sport school actually, it was very intense. But as a child you don't object."
His first job was at a peat cutting company, but he was fired after three days. He worked as an apprentice carpenter, a gallery technician, and was most well-known as a basket weaver.
In 1981, Lindemann apparently refused to do his 18 months' compulsory military service and was almost imprisoned because of the refusal.
In 1985, when Lindemann was 22, his first daughter, Nele, was born. Lindemann and Nele's mother married after she was born, but they separated and he has raised Nele alone. Lindemann says, "I used to play drums in a punk band and we had our studio in the house where I lived. Seven years I had been a father raising his daughter, but nowadays I'm sharing the upbringing with her mother, because I'm gone for six months of the year with the band."
The Berlin Wall came down November 9, 1989, and Germany started its path to reunification. On this, Lindemann says, "After the wall had been opened, I drove to West Germany and bought gummy bears and yogurt for my salutation money. But there wasn't anything else."
His father died in November of 1992, of the effects of alcohol. He was buried in the grounds of a church near Wendisch-Rambow.
Lindemann had a second daughter with Anja Köseling, his former partner/wife. Köseling claimed Lindemann abused her physically during their relationship and that he refused to pay child support for their daughter, Marie-Louise (b. ca. 1993). Lindemann has never commented on her claim. In an interview with Richard Kruspe, He stated that Rammstein will keep playing until one of them dies. Paul stated in a 2005 interview that Till has a girlfriend who speaks Spanish and helped him write "Te quiero puta!" (I want you, whore!).
And in a 2005 interview with the German playboy, Lindemann stated that he had finally found "a woman he could spend the rest of his life with."
