Nine Inch Nails concluded their tour earlier this week with a gig in Sacramento, California. Back in February during a tour stop in Tulsa, Oklahoma, band frontman Trent Reznor got fans worried when he said the band would be stepping away from the road at the end of the tour, possibly for good.
He said at the time: “I don’t know if we’re gonna be touring anymore after this, but I’m proud of the show that we’re doing right now.”
At the tour finale, however, Reznor clarified and expanded on his comments from the stage. “As some of you may know, this is the last show of the tour,” he said. “And to be clear, I think I said something the other day that then got misconstrued into something that is not intentionally necessarily true. What I said was, this is the last show of this tour and we don’t have any shows booked and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far. That doesn’t mean we may not tour again.”
“We may tour again,” he continued. “It won’t be next month, it won’t be this year. I never said we were intentionally stopping and I never meant that. But, to be truthful, we didn’t tour for a while before this tour because, frankly, I didn’t know if we could do it well and if it still mattered and if really feel like we had something to say. And the combination of this band and this crew and a lot of hard work and we put on a show that I’m really f*cking proud of. I thank you for coming and attending. I appreciate it. It makes us all feel like we have a f*cking purpose.”
