His departure was revealed Monday on Kraftwerk's official fan Web site (http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/). No reason was given, but Schneider did not take part in Kraftwerk's 2008 world tour as he is reportedly working on other projects.
The band, headed by co-founder Ralf Huetter, is still scheduled to open for Radiohead on the British group's first tour of Latin America, which begins March 15 in Mexico City.
