Nine Inch Nails line-up to split after forthcoming release

The current Nine Inch Nails line up will split up after the release of their forthcoming album, though presumably Trent Reznor will soon have a new team of collaborators to work with him under the moniker. But guitarist Aaron North, bassist Jeordie White, keyboardist Alessandro Cortini, drummer Josh Freese and, of course, Reznor himself will call time on their career together at the end of the current release schedule, with the dictatorial lead man saying: "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".
