Per Rolling Stone, this intellectual property includes Prince’s name and likeness, royalties from his masters, and publishing rights, as well as his renowned Paisley...

PETER TÄGTGREN On Final LINDEMANN Tour: ‘It Was Not Really My Cup Of Tea At All’
In a new interview with the “I Ask No One” video podcast, Swedish multi-instrumentalist Peter Tägtgren was asked about the final tour he played with LINDEMANN, his collaborative project with vocalist Till Lindemann of German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “It was very successful — definitely. It was not really my cup of tea at all, to be honest. And that’s why we’re not playing anymore together.

He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Because of the unusual situation of the last couple of years, we were able to continue to communicate and be a band. We were able to get together on a somewhat regular basis, create a bubble that we could work in, get tested regularly every two or three days, and go in and function as a band. And in the last year or so, we’ve been doing that pretty consistently. And it’s difficult and it’s demanding to have to work under those situations, because when you’re in a bubble, you can’t really see anyone else. And when we’re i...
