That's it, I don't like Jimi Hendrix anymore.

Unconfirmed rumours that Florian Schneider has passed away.

According to a close associate of the group, Schneider left Kraftwerk on 21 November 2008, due to a dispute over a bicycle pump.

Xp fucking hell. Pls no

Ahhh man.

really hoping this is some Kim Jong Un situation

I used to have the albums from Autobahn to Computer World framed in my basement, just recently I replaced them just cuz it's been a while. My wife's reaction..."awww, I miss the guys"

Rumour seems to be gathering pace but no confirmation as yet.

Coming here to see if anyone's found confirmation, just heard the rumour through the grapevine so far.

This sucks :(

Seems to be true. RIP Florian, my favourite Monkee Kraftwerk ;_;

Gah. RIP.

Christ, this is as bad as 2016. RIP, Florian. May flights of vocoders sing thee to thy rest.

Much computer love :(

RIP

I got to see them in Milwaukee in 2008 - was strange because they did like 2-3 shows a year then and they just happened to randomly pick Milwaukee. Must've been one of the last shows he ever did.

Was a really cool night...I was 22 and there were a lot of people who looked even younger than me. Like high schoolers in custom made Kraftwerk shirts. Although it was basically the same thing as the Minimum-Maximum DVD, seeing and hearing it in person is something else. Feeling the Autobahn bassline in your chest is a hell of an experience.

rip florian x

rip to the god. is minimum-maximum available to stream anywhere?

fuck. RIP.

RIP, the most human of the robots and a killer flautist.
this clip of him having fun with his pocket calculator makes me smile every time.

I've probably watched that Taschenrechner clip two dozen times

Florian 'breaks character' there, it's hilarious

that was awesome

RIP

Think it was a regular routine to have some fun during Pocket Calculator. Florian did it the only time I saw them (on The Mix tour).

Level 1:
In tribute, I am trying to dress up like Kraftwerk circa “The Man-Machine.” Problem is, I forgot how to tie a tie.
Can you help? I never knew.
This is how far she's gotten:
