Nine Inch Nails main man Trent Reznor has stated that the bands current lineup will disband after the final show of their current tour. Reznor said:

"At this point, I want to switch things around a bit. Nine Inch Nails as a rock band configuration, we've done it and we've done it again. I see other ways I can present the material in concert, more challenging, something new. I don't want it to go stale. This group has toured together for two years. It's a well-rounded concert, a good collection of songs from different records."

In a recent Sydney show, Reznor encouraged the crowd to steal NIN cd’s. He told the crowd:

"Last time I was here, I was doing a lot of complaining about the ridiculous prices of CDs and that story got picked up and carried all around the world. Now my record label all around the world hates me because I yelled at them. I called them out for being greedy. Has anyone seen the price come down? OK, well, you know what that means: steal it. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealing. One way or another these [people] will get it through their heads that they are ripping people off and that is not right."
