Josh Freese has posted the following:
Leaving Nine Inch Nails at the end of 2008
was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever
had to make. My wife and I were expecting
our third child, and I knew I needed to step
away from life on the road to be home with
my family.
NIN was a band that left me walking off
stage every single night thinking, “That was
incredible. We absolutely crushed it.” And
it wasn’t just a feeling, it was a
certainty. That level of intensity, pride,
and satisfaction after each show is
something I’ve rarely experienced anywhere
else.
Now, being back on tour with Trent and the
crew—helping them do what they do best night
after night—is something I’m incredibly
excited about. To be part of that energy
again feels amazing.
If you get a chance to catch one of these
shows over the next six weeks, I promise,
they’re going to be absolutely unforgettable.
Hope to see you out there.

Interestingly enough, Freese is replacing Ilan Rubin, who is now joining the Foo Fighters where Freese was the last drummer.
