NINE INCH NAILS Recruit A PERFECT CIRCLE Drummer

October 4, 2005

According to MJI Interactive, Jerome Dillon was back in NINE INCH NAILS' lineup Saturday night (Oct. 1) in Los Angeles after the band was forced to postpone its Friday show in Oakland, Calif., because of the drummer's struggle with a heart condition. A PERFECT CIRCLE stickman Josh Freese had been recruited to fill in if Dillon couldn't perform. Meanwhile, the Oakland show has been rescheduled for Nov. 19.

The tour's Sept. 16 opener in San Diego was cut short after Dillon collapsed onstage. The following night's performance in Tucson, Ariz., was also postponed.

Dillon later blamed "fatigue and exhaustion" as the cause in a post on his web site.

NINE INCH NAILS are scheduled to perform at E Center in West Valley City, Utah tonight (Oct. 4). Although there is official word yet regarding Dillon's current status with the group, Spin magazine is reporting that Jerome will be sitting out the rest of the tour — presumably to be temporarily replaced by Freese.
