Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails' leader, doesn't want to tour again because "I don't want to be away from my kids."
Reznor discussed traveling with Rick Rubin on the Tetragrammaton podcast.
He said, "I don't want to be away from my kids." I don't want to spend their lives doing something I'm grateful to do, and I'm delighted you can see it, even though I've done it before.
He continued: I want to feel okay and check on my family. It's fine.
Reznor added that having five children has "radically shaped every bit of who I am and why I do anything" and that music has fallen down his priority list.
"From my perspective, the importance of music—or lack of importance of music—in the world of today is a little defeating."
I played music when I had time. Enjoying music. I wasn't doing it while working on five other things."

Reznor wept when listening to a Dua Lipa song, calling it a "really well-done piece of music."
"Songwriting is the hardest part," said Nine Inch Nails' frontman. having something to say, something honest, and something with a purpose."
He said pop music revived him: My six-year-old daughter sung Dua Lipa recently. She loves it. She said she cried listening to a Dua Lipa song. It reminded me of good songwriting. because it was well-crafted music? It's clever. It worked.
It's hard. No idea. I'm honest when I'm thinking of anything to say. Thus, I must evaluate who I am and where I am now, making everything feel more important.
Tony Hawk, the famed skateboarder, said that Reznor and his bandmate Atticus Rose will write the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie's score.
