NINE INCH NAILS To Tour With JANE'S ADDICTION

Jonathan Cohen from Billboard.com is reporting:
NINE INCH NAILS will tour later this year with the reunited JANE'S ADDICTION, NIN frontman Trent Reznor wrote in a post on the band's website.
Although he stopped short of saying the band was going on something more than a hiatus, Reznor confirmed these will be the last NIN shows for some time, and that they will be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted" compared to last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour. "It's time to make NIN disappear for a while," he said.
Dates have not yet been announced, but Reznor says the tour will take the bands "across the globe."
The pairing with Jane's Addiction was inspired by NIN's stint on the maiden Lollapalooza tour in 1991, which was headlined by Jane's. The band broke up for the first time shortly thereafter, only to reunite minus original bassist Eric Avery in 1997 and again in 2001.
"These performances essentially created and defined the term 'alternative' rock in the U.S., created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really f*cking FUN to play and attend -- truly the best times I've had," Reznor wrote.
