Please note that Rammstein keyboardist, Flake, was not at tonight’s show in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the start of the show, frontman Till Lindemann made the announcement “Ladies and Gentlemen, Due to a severe infection, our keyboard player Flake Lorenz was taken yesterday to the hospital. We did not want to cancel this concert and have brought in a substitute; a warm round of applause for Alf Atorthat (Knorkator keyboardist).”
It is unclear at this time how many more shows Flake might miss due to his illness, but he is reportedly already out and doing better. People in attendance have confirmed that the band didn’t walk Alf like a dog or make him use the treadmill.
