Yeah, I was going to ask what the accident was that is preventing him from playing live. It wasn't anything to do with NIN because he was a live member of Marilyn Manson from 2004 – 2005.

He tore his rotator cuff twice:

I wonder how common that injury is among drummers. I've heard that on top of being very painful, recovering from it can be a slow, annoying process.
The Anchor said Nine Inch Nails this time! 2 years ago this same station did a story on Vrenna and that same anchor said "The Nine Inch Nails." You could tell that he recognized his mistake as soon as he said it. I wonder if anyone has told him that he was accidentally playing along with an in-joke.
Oh my god, he’s completely grey now?! This is the first I’ve seen of him in a while.
FYI the HoF is selling the program guide for the ceremony and it has NIN content. You can look at it/read it via the pictures a person named "Justsomegirl0153" kindly posted on reddit.

It's $26 USD in the store and they have some other merch. I bought one and it's pretty high quality if I do say so and quite heavy.
I am not a shill for HoF, just inane. Thanks to @REPLICA for the Instagram post about the magnet as to why I also bought it...haha!
So they just skip right from Downward Spiral to Bad Witch in that write up then huh? That's 24 years they leave out, save for the soundtracks, I'm Afraid of Americans and the inevitable Cash reference.
...sigh.
^ There's a vague "bite the hand that feeds" reference... and mention of the "steal it" YZ fiasco. Welcome to the inevitable compression of history that comes with a 30+ year career.

Yeah, sure, I understand that is inevitable, but I am pretty surprised there's no mention of their "comeback" record – the only one to have three #1 singles – or the album that spawned a massive ARG. Both these things are pretty remarkable and note-worthy topics in their career.
Happened to me in high school. I was in competitive cheer and years of throwing girls into the air over my head and catching them over and over totally fucked me. You can get it from one-off injuries, or from repetitive overuse of shoulders. so I think it's safe to say drummers might be higher risk for it in general.
I'm shocked he managed to keep playing through it enough to have it happen twice because that shit is painful even with treatment. I had to quit tumbling/throwing stunts almost as soon as it set in. They usually just give you steroids to try and reduce the inflammation while you do PT/OT. But if your livelihood depends on you not taking a break to do therapy or get the surgery (like a professional drummer), that kind of just leaves you working when you shouldn't be.
So I was doing some googling and it looks like they didn't announce Trent as the one inducting The Cure until like two weeks before the event. So i'm guessing we will have to wait until October is almost over to find out the news. I'm dying to know for real.
sorry if I've missed it within the 40 pages, when is the actual "induction ceremony" ?
Vulture wants to match Miley Cyrus with NIN.
ROH guest list info
Does confirm Grohl is *there* too at least.
st Vincent is on the list too and she’s a big fan. Wonder who Chris Martin and Adam Levine are commenting on? Maroon 5 did do a cover of Closer! Another possibility is Luke Bryan, the country musician, wonder if he’s to say something about Hurt? However I could see people who love NIN also loving Depeche so perhaps some will speak about several? (Particularly Dave Grohl)

There's too many names in the mix, so I don't think this is going to be a traditional X person inducts Y act this year. It'll probably be a mostly (if not entirely) pre-produced program with various people talking and telling stories about the acts getting in, probably/hopefully with performances mixed in.
I would be surprised if Miley inducted NIN. I don't have a problem with her whatsoever, and she did a great job with the Black Mirror re-interpretations. But there's no clear influence of NIN on her music at all, nor does she seem to be seriously devoted to Trent's discography. I could be wrong though, maybe she's a huge fan and I'm just not aware.
My money is on St. Vincent or Dave Grohl. Either one would make a wonderful choice for very different reasons, and both would have something thoughtful and encouraging to say.
St. Vincent is a dyed-in-the-wool fan, it would be fun to hear somebody who is as devoted as we are to NIN geek out in an induction speech.
Dave, on the other hand, came up around the same time as Trent and has worked with him personally. There's also something sort of redemptive (in my mind) about Dave being able to induct a peer who conquered his addictions and moved on to even greater things when SO many of the great artists from their era are no longer alive.
Either one would be wonderful and so I'm crossing my fingers for one (or both) of them.

Miley inducting NIN would be the HOFs way of spitting in the face of Trent. That would be like having Cardi B induct NIN. Give me a fucking break. It reminds me of when MTV used to do that lame show Icon and they did one of Metallica and instead of having Metallica's peers celebrate them and do covers, they just invited pop artists to do Metallica covers and they had Avril Lavigne come out and perform "Fuel" in front of Metallica who just sat there trying to pretend to be interested and then they had Snoop mumble his way through a Metallica song that you could tell he just learned 1 hour earlier. It was a total fucking insult. And I really dont think the HOF would stoop so low as to have Miley Cyrus induct NIN....If MTV handled the show, then maybe that would happen. But this will be someone TR approves of. Expect it to be Grohl

What about Scarlett Johansson? She confessed her love for NIN/TR not long ago.
What about Gary Numan or Peter Murphy? Maybe it's been brought up already, but is it out of the question to have someone like David Fincher or David Lynch do it? Looking at the list of previous inductees and who inducted them, it's not always a musician – for example, Pearl Jam was inducted by David Letterman and Bon Jovi was inducted by Howard Stern.

Yeah, I'm thinking Halo18 has the right idea. Each inductee will have a pre-produced package & the guest appearances would offer their celebrity appreciation for an inductee.
Obviously, Springsteen is there to speak about Jon Landau & Irving Azoff.
adam levine BETTER NOT induct nin. i prefer miley over him.
Surely, Sean “Diddy” Combs will speak about that sweet Victory remix nine inch nails did back in the day.
If Manson has his shit together (which it seems he does based on that new Zane Lowe interview) then he would be a viable choice.
