Nine Inch Nails Recruit Lostprophets Drummer

Nine Inch Nails have recruited Lostprophets drummer Ilan Rubin, to replace original sticksman Josh Freese - who recently announced he would be leaving the band.

NIN frontman Trent Reznor selected Rubin as their stand-in, after witnessing Lostprophets live at the Reading and Leeds festivals during 2006.

"We recently invited him out to rehearse with us and he blew US away," says Reznor. "The perfect guy to pick up the sticks after Josh leaves us at the end of the year."
