Trent Reznor was inspired by David Bowie’s ”fearlessness in reinventing himself” to put Nine Inch Nails on hiatus.

The musician best known for recording under the name Nine Inch Nails- said he was inspired by the ‘Space Oddity’ rocker to put the project on hiatus in 2009 and focus on new things, including his How To Destroy Angels band and work on the soundtrack to film ‘The Social Network’.

He told Rollingstone.com: “My reason for stopping touring with Nine Inch Nails is that I needed to force my own hand to make myself do something different.

“There’s an unspoken pressure to keep touring – that’s the only way to make a living – but I look at David Bowie’s fearlessness in changing and reinventing himself. That takes courage.”
