Bloodhound Gang bassist makes blatant announcement: What's behind it?

USA -"Evil" Jared Hasselhoff is giving fans of the Bloodhound Gang hope. In an Instagram video, the bassist of the US scandal band announces "the biggest music news of the year". He asks himself what that might be and gives examples, all of which he directly denies.

"The Oasis reunion? Maybe big news in Manchester." After further provocative theses, the 53-year-old resolves: It's about "the announcement you've been waiting a decade for, and that is: the Bloodhound Gang are back."

What that means, however, remains unclear. There were no hints of a comeback from old bandmates such as Jimmy Pop.

Nevertheless, some Instagram users reacted enthusiastically.

The Bloodhound Gang released five albums between 1995 and 2015 and celebrated chart success, for example with the raunchy pop song "The Bad Touch" (1999).

The musicians were also often provocative during performances. Then it became quiet around them. In recent years, "Evil Jared" has appeared on various German TV shows and made music with drummer Krogi.
