Fraichement reformé pour son grand retour sur scène, NINE INCH NAILS se retrouve amputé de l'un de ses membres : le bassiste Eric Avery (ex-Jane’s Addiction, etc.) vient en effet d'annoncer son retrait du projet de Trent Reznor.
Aucune annonce n'a encore été effectuée sur son éventuel remplaçant. Vous pouvez lire le communiqué d'Eric ci-dessous. (..::Ju::..)

its with very mixed emotions i tell you all that im pulling out of NIN. i know. its been a tough call and i don’t know if its the right one. but i really want to focus on my musical life here in la, on film work in particular. as the tour dates kept growing… i just got overwhelmed. i just got home from a year of heavy travel with garbage, the idea of leaving town for another year and a half, and with all the intensity that nails demands… fortunately my friend Trent understands all this and appreciated my pulling the plug now instead of deep into 2013 and 14. go get em gentlemen.”
