I et opslag på Instagram den 26. april 2025 annoncerede Einstürzende Neubauten, at mangeårige bandmedlem, Alexander Hacke, forlader bandet. Alexander Hacke blev involveret med bandet allerede i 1980 - og har været fast medlem siden starten af 80'erne. Gennem de seneste mange år har han været bandets bassist.
I opslaget på Instagram skriver bandet:
We are sad that Alexander Hacke is leaving the band. We respect his decision and wish him the best in his future endeavours. Einstürzende Neubauten will continue.
Og Alexander Hacke selv har lagt denne besked ud på nettet:
To whom it may concern: "I, Alexander Hacke would like to announce that I have left Einstürzende Neubauten. It is not a decision I have taken lightly. This band has been my family for more than four decades, but it has become obvious for quite some time, after many discussions and efforts to solve our differences, that our basic standards, personally and professionally, have diverged on every level. In order to uphold my core value of integrity, I therefore have no other choice than to continue on my path without them."
