Florian Kwits Kraftwerk

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:53:13 +1100

Florian Schneider has left Kraftwerk.

According to the band’s official fan web site Florian Schneider, one of the co-founders of the German electro act, gave no reason for his departure.

Schneider did not appear on the band’s world tour last year, and is now understood to be working on a solo venture.

In September other remaining original member Ralf Hutter told the New Zealand Herald that Schneider has spent the last few years "working on other projects."

The news comes just after the German electronic legends were invited to support Radiohead in Latin America.

Kraftwerk will support Radiohead throughout their Central and South Americanan tour, starting in Mexico City on March 15.
