Till Lindemann (born 4 January 1963) is a German singer, songwriter, musician, actor, pyrotechnician, and poet. He is most commonly known as the lead vocalist and frontman of the German Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein. Lindemann is known for his excessive use of pyrotechnics, his stage performances, his bass voice, and his specific performance move, known as "The Till Hammer". He is known as well for his song lyrics, some of which have caused controversy. Worldwide, his band has sold over 10 million records, and five of their albums have received platinum awards. Lindemann has been listed among ''The 50 Greatest Metal Frontmen of All Time'' by Roadrunner Records. He has appeared in some films in minor roles, and he also has two published books of poetry, one tilted "''Messer''" (2002) and the other "''In stillen Nächten''" (2013). He has presented some of his original poems and scripts to galleries. On his 52nd birthday on 4 January 2015, it was announced that Lindemann would start a new project with Peter Tägtgren named "Lindemann". ==Biography== Lindemann was born in Leipzig, Saxony, and grew up in the village of Wendisch-Rambow, Schwerin.〔 His father was the children's poet Werner Lindemann, and his mother, Brigitte "Gitta" Hildegard Lindemann, was a journalist and writer who worked for Norddeutscher Rundfunk from 1992 to 2002, at which point she retired.〔 His parents first met at a conference in Bitterfeld in 1959.〔Irgendein Neuerdings Mike Oldfield – ein Vater – Sohn Geschichte (RF radio play) 2011〕 Lindemann has a younger sister named Saskia. At age 11 he went to a sports school at the Empor Rostock Sport Club,〔 and from 1977 to 1980 attended a boarding school.〔 His parents lived separately for career reasons after 1975, and divorced when Lindemann was still young. Lindemann lived with his father for a short time, but the relationship was not healthy: in the book ''"Mike Oldfield im Schaukelstuhl"'', Lindemann's father wrote about his own problems with alcohol and the difficulties of being a father to Lindemann when he was a teenager. In 1978, Lindemann participated in the European Junior Swimming Championships in Florence, finishing 11th in the 1500m freestyle and seventh in the 400 m freestyle, swimming a time of 4'17"58; he was shortlisted to go to 1980 Olympics in Moscow.〔 He left the sport due to an injury. According to Lindemann, "I never liked the sport school actually, it was very intense. But as a child you don't object." He later worked as an apprentice carpenter, a gallery technician, a peat cutter, and a basket weaver.〔 His mother dedicated a letter titled "''Mein Sohn, der Frontmann um Rammstein''" ("My son, the frontman of Rammstein") to Lindemann in 2009. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Till Lindemann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
