Così Spiegel ha annunciato la decisione di Universal di sospendere la collaborazione con i tedeschi dopo le accuse rivolte al frontman relative a reati sessuali e spaccio di stupefacenti:

“The charges against Till Lindemann they shocked us and we have the utmost respect for the women who have spoken out so courageously in this case. We are convinced that a full clarification of these allegations, including by the authorities, is absolutely necessary and also in the interest of the entire band. After the allegations became known, we have suspended marketing and promotional activities for the group’s recordings until further notice.”

La band ha respinto ogni accusa.
