Nine Inch Nails To Split

Trent Reznor has announced Nine Inch Nails are to disband so he can "switch things round a bit".

Reznor, Josh Freese, Aaron North, Jeordie White and Alessandro Cortini's gig together in Honolulu this month now appears like it will be their last performance together with the singer-songwriter promising to come up with something more streamlined.

He explains, "At this point, I want to switch things around a bit. I see other ways I can present Nine Inch Nails' material in concert. Something more challenging, something new. I don't want it to go stale.

"The idea of five guys making music for two hours, while it's the culmination of fine-tuning over a lot of years, has got to change. I want to whittle things down."
