Changes

In recent years, the official reason for the cancellation has been cast into doubt, mostly because Freese has since become the official drummer in [[Nine Inch Nails]] and Reznor has disclosed his history of drug and alcohol abuse. In interviews in 2005, Reznor revealed that he had been hospitalized in London for a heroin overdose around the time that this concert was supposed to take place. Also, stomach flus are known for being highly contagious yet no one else on the tour seems to have been affected by it. So was the report of Dillon being afflicted with a stomach flu a cover-up to conceal Reznor's substance abuse?

According to reports and interviews, Reznor consumed a massive amount of what he thought was cocaine. When someone on the tour crew went to his hotel room he was unresponsive. Paramedics were called and ushered in through the back of the hotel, and Reznor was loaded onto a stretcher and brought out through the hotel laundry room to the ambulance waiting in the back of the building. This was done to protect reznor's his privacy and to prevent a media feeding frenzy. Reznor awoke in the hospital emergency room with a tube going into his stomach and no memory of how he got there. He was informed of what had happened and was shocked: he had never used heroin before. This incident and subsequent concert cancellation served as a much-needed wake-up call to Reznor to come to terms with his drug and alcohol addictions.
