NEW YORK (Billboard) - Nine Inch Nails has reshuffled its
new touring lineup announced in early April, with bassist
Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Garbage) replacing British
musician Rich Fownes.
Frontman Trent Reznor will also be backed by Robin Finck
(who spent years in NIN prior to a recently ended stint in Guns
N' Roses), drummer Josh Freese and keyboardist Alessandro
Cortini on a North American trek that begins July 25 at British
Columbia's Pemberton Festival.
"We've added, we've subtracted and we've wound up with
unquestionably the strongest lineup I've EVER had," Reznor said
on NIN's Web site (http://www.nin.com). "We've been working on
something really special for these shows and so far I couldn't
be happier with the results."
