Nine Inch Nails

Rockers Nine Inch Nails will split after the release of their forthcoming album Year Zero Remixed, frontman Trent Reznor has revealed.

The current lineup of Reznor; drummer Josh Freese; guitarist Aaron North; bassist Jeordie White and keyboardist Alessandro Cortini, played their last gig together in Honolulu in September - and they will disband at the end of 2007.

Reznor says, "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."
