NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Corporate rock STILL sucks. A friend tells me they saw the original JANE'S lineup play a tiny show in L.A. that was unbelievable. I break out my JANE'S records and am amazed by how vital they sound."

"In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while. Last year's 'Lights in the Sky' tour was something I'm quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production.В 

"We decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year. The approach to these shows is quite different from last year — much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted.

"I reached out to JANE'S to see if they'd want to join us across the U.S. and we all felt it could be a great thing.

"Look for tour dates soon and I hope to see you out there."

Over the past few months, the originalВ JANE'S ADDICTIONВ lineup of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins have been playing little-publicised gigs at small venues around LA.
