“Leaving 9 Inch Nails on the finish of 2008 was one of many hardest choices I’ve ever needed to make. My spouse and I had been anticipating our third youngster, and I knew I wanted to step away from life on the highway to be dwelling with my household.
NIN was a band that left me strolling off stage each single evening considering, “That was unbelievable. We completely crushed it.” And it wasn’t only a feeling, it was a certainty. That stage of depth, delight, and satisfaction after every present is one thing I’ve hardly ever skilled anyplace
Now, being again on tour with Trent and the crew—serving to them do what they do finest evening after evening—is one thing I’m extremely enthusiastic about. To be a part of that power once more feels wonderful.
For those who get an opportunity to catch one among these exhibits over the following sic weeks, I promise, they’re going to be completely unforgettable.
Hope to see you on the market.
