Trent Reznor checked in with Nine Inch Nails fans, offering an extensive update on what could've been and what the plan is for the next few years.
Reznor revealed the band had planned a round of dates this autumn across North America, but those have since been scrapped. Instead, Reznor will focus on finishing scoring projects and "deep dive" into new Nine Inch Nails material, with the hope of touring in 2021.
Reznor writes "I was just reminded today marks the two year anniversary of when we made you show up in person for the Cold and Black and Infinite tour. Strange to think about with the world the way it is now. I look forward to the day we can once again safely be in the same space & share the experience of screaming at the top of our lungs. Speaking of which, I suppose I can let you know we HAD a tour booked this fall that continued & expanded Cold & Black & Infinite."
He added "Jehnny Beth was coming along with us. We were excited. I’m bumming myself out right now. The what-could-have-been dates are below & we had some merch for that tour in production that we’re <a href="http://smarturl.it/NINOnlineStore">putting in the store</a> w/ all of NIN’s profits going to local food banks in the cities we were going to play.
"The current plan is to finish up some scoring projects, work on my limited patience skills, deep dive into new NIN material, and hopefully be playing music live for you in 2021. In the meantime… listen to Jehnny Beth’s record (comes out June 12), continue to listen to Bowie, and don’t be too hard on yourself."
He ended his statement by linking to a fan-edited video of a performance from the "Black and Infinite" tour in 2018.
I look forward to the day we can once again safely be in the same space & share the experience of screaming at the top of our lungs.
Speaking of which, I suppose I can let you know we HAD a tour booked this fall that continued & expanded Cold & Black & Infinite. (2/7)
