At the beginning of my time with Metal Injection, one of the first things I had learned about Rammstein was that they were fucking weird. After being subjected to watching frontman Till Lindemann‘s solo music video for “Meine Welt,” very little has come to surprise me – or quite frankly, anyone – who knows of the existence of Lindemann or Rammstein.
So, when some users logged onto Instagram yesterday morning to be greeted with a giant penis flute, I’m sure many of the reactions were to either stare in confusion, strange fascination, or franticly close out of the Instagram app and look over both shoulders to make sure no one saw Rammstein‘s most recent post. The penis flute is part of a greater exhibition that the band is putting on known as the Fan Archiv, featuring gifts Rammstein have received throughout the years from fans.
The official Rammstein Facebook account announced the exhibition with a far less intimidating gift, crocheted dolls, stating, “Rammstein receive art pieces from fans around the world every day, ranging from intricate illustrations to creative constructions. These are catalogued and safely stored in the Fan Archiv, often seen only by the band and their team. Until now!
“Rammstein are opening the Fan Archiv to showcase some of their favourite pieces from across the years.
“FA10345: Crocheted dolls. Hand-crocheted versions of the band members in their stage attire!”
The exhibition is being debuted online before fans have the opportunity to visit the RammsteinStore in Berlin to see the exhibition in person. Private viewings are due to start on April 10th. The exhibition is free and is currently due to run for one month, during RammsteinStore‘s opening hours.
Among the exhibition will be the aforementioned penis flute, which has been identified and described as: “FA10334: The Penis Flute. This as-yet unplayed handmade ceramic flute, measuring 20 cm in length, holds pride of place in the Fan Archiv.” You can see the delightful gift below.
The official band social media accounts have taken to posting a barrage of gifts, showcasing pieces of the exhibition fans local to Berlin, or visiting Berlin at the time, can visit. From lego sets, to Russian dolls, to custom games, there’s a little bit of everything. You can check out some of the fan gifts below.
The Instagram caption elaborates that: “Rammstein open the Fan Archiv! FA45664: The Plastic Brick Stage. Rammstein’s iconic stage setup, complete with flames and lighting. Each member sports their own stage outfit, complemented by a highly intricate drum kit with custom parts for Schneider.”
The Instagram caption quickly describes: “Rammstein Fan Archiv item FA00366: Matryoshka Dolls. These wooden dolls of the band in Russian folk garb, each member depicted in their own distinctive style and colour, are meticulously hand-painted and varnished, and have spent some time in the archive.”
The Instagram caption introduces: “The next item from Rammstein‘s Fan Archiv: FA32455 – Rammstein Ärgere Dich Nicht. The classic Ludo game, much loved (and hated) by families in Germany, recreated on slate for six players, with handcrafted wooden pieces.
The board game as well as many other favourites from the Fan Archiv are part of an exclusive exhibition in the RammsteinStore in Berlin. Starting with a Vernissage on April 10, the exhibition is free and will run for one month during the store opening hours!”

A hospital in the capital, Brasilia, says former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s kidney function has worsened at the intensive care unit to which he was transferred hours earlier
SAO PAULO — Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro ‘s kidney function worsened at the intensive care unit to which he was transferred hours earlier, a hospital in the capital, Brasilia, said Saturday. The 70-year-old leader also has pneumonia and doctors say his medical situation is serious, but stable.
Bolsonaro was sent to DF Star Hospital on Friday from the prison where he is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup attempt in 2023. The hospital also said in a statement that he has had an increase in inflammatory markers since treatment began.
The former president, who governed between 2019-22, was admitted to the hospital after experiencing high fever, low oxygen, sweating and chills. Exams confirmed bronchopneumonia, a type of pneumonia, likely caused by aspiration.
The embattled ex-leader was transferred from the local federal police headquarters to a larger cell in January, but his relatives have repeatedly asked Brazil’s Supreme Court to allow him to carry out his sentence under house arrest. They claim he has received insufficient medical attention.
Bolsonaro has been hospitalized multiple times since being stabbed at a campaign event before the 2018 presidential election. One of his sons, Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, is expected to run for president later this year against incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“Unfortunately we have to learn how to live with this. It is not the first, the second or the third time my father is hospitalized because of the problems coming from the stabbing,” Flávio Bolsonaro told journalists in Brasilia. “He is stable, he did not improve, but he is stable.”
Jair Bolsonaro was also convicted on charges that include leading an armed criminal organization and attempting the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law. He has denied any wrongdoing.

Kevin Zegers really wanted a role on Taylor Sheridan’s new show The Madison — so much so that he was ready to show up at his house if he had to.
The 41-year-old actor admitted he fought hard to land a part in the new Paramount+ series from the creator of Yellowstone, premiering Saturday (March 14).
While Zegers didn’t reveal exactly how he ultimately secured the role, he told Page Six at the show’s premiere that the process wasn’t easy.
“I wasn’t totally right for it, but I just wouldn’t [give up],” Zegers said. “I just knew I was supposed to be doing it.”

The actor even joked that he would have gone as far as flying to Sheridan’s home to plead his case, adding, “I was ready to go bang on his door.”
Fortunately, it never came to that. Zegers ultimately landed the role of Cade Harris, a neighbor to the central family in the new drama.
Created by Sheridan — the mind behind Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Landman — The Madison follows a New York City family who relocate to rural Montana after a tragedy.

The series stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell as Stacy and Preston Clyburn, a married couple navigating a major life change after leaving Manhattan for the Madison River Valley.
Zegers explained that the show stands apart from many of Sheridan’s other projects because the focus is less on action and plot twists and more on the characters themselves.
“It’s really different,” he explained. “Where it could rely on plot — the bad guys are coming from over here — it’s so much more contained, and people just dealing with life.”
Because of that approach, he insists the series leans heavily on its cast, saying, “It’s restrained and relies on actresses like Michelle and actors like Kurt.”
The Madison premieres on Paramount+ Saturday (March 14), with the first three episodes dropping together.

The final three episodes will arrive on March 21. Season 2 of The Madison has already been filmed.
Is that a clue about who the family’s tragedy centers on?

In advance of Sunday’s semifinal clash against the Dominican Republic and following a 5-3 win over Canada in the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals, Team USA has again made some roster changes. This time, Clayton Kershaw was removed from the roster in favor of Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman.
Such between-round pitching staff churn isn’t unusual in the WBC. The U.S. made multiple changes ahead of Friday’s quarterfinal matchup. Pitchers Tarik Skubal of the Tigers, Michael Wacha of the Royals and Ryan Yarbrough of the Yankees were all removed from the roster heading into the knockout stage. They were replaced by right-handed relievers Will Vest of the Tigers and Tyler Rogers of the Blue Jays, along with lefty reliever Tim Hill of the Yankees.
Kershaw, who retired from Major League Baseball at the end of the 2025 season and did not ptich at all during the WBC, was removed after Friday’s game.
Hoffman, 33, had a dominant run with the Phillies from 2023-24 as a high-leverage setup man. Last season, he suffered some poor batted-ball luck as Toronto’s closer but still logged 33 saves and led the majors with 59 games finished.
The hard-throwing Vest, 30, is coming off a 2025 season in which he pitched to a 3.01 ERA with 75 strikeouts and 21 unintentional walks in 68 ⅔ innings. He enjoyed similar results in 2024 and 2023. The 35-year-old Rogers, who attacks hitters from drastically low arm angles, led the majors with 81 appearances last season and had a 1.98 ERA with 48 strikeouts and just seven walks in 77 ⅓ innings. Rogers also ranked in the 96th percentile among MLB pitchers in ground-ball rate. Hill, 36, had a 3.09 ERA in 67 innings for the Yankees in 2025, and he flashed even stronger ground-ball tendencies than Rogers did. Hill also limited left-handed batters to a microscopic OPS of .444.
The roster moves mean Skubal’s start for Team USA during pool play will be his only one of this WBC. Skubal wavered on that decision after his first start before admitting that he couldn’t make the timing work in order to keep his Opening Day gig with the Tigers.
“I think the only way I’ll be at peace with it is in Miami celebrating after we win the whole f—ing thing,” he said earlier this week. “That’ll give me some peace.”
Paul Skenes of the Pirates will go against the Dominican Republic in the semis. If the U.S. makes it to Tuesday’s championship game, Nolan McLean of the Mets is expected to make the start, according to MLB Network.
