Yungblud Apologizes For Photo With Rammstein Frontman

Earlier this month, Yungblud went viral for speaking up for Iranian women's rights. The English rock musician is known for advocacy, and fans were recently disappointed to see a photo of him posing with Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann, who has sexual misconduct allegations. Today, he acknowledged the backlash, saying he "had no idea" about the accusations.

In an audio statement on his Instagram, Yungblud said, "I had no idea — obviously at the minute I’m meeting lots of people every day without fully knowing who they are or what they’re about. And I can assure you, if I knew about any allegations, it would have been a completely different story. You all know what I stand for, always. I’ll be more aware of it in the future."

Yungblud has also been collaborating with Aerosmith and hanging out with frontman Steven Tyler, who also has sexual assault allegations.
