On November 20, 2008, a [http://vimeo.com/2294591 trailer] for the tour was posted on nin.com.
During the Las Vegas show on December 13, 2008, Reznor announced that [[Alessandro Cortini]], like and [[Josh Freese]], would be leaving the line-up at the end of the tour, making the show the last for Freese and the last for Cortini until 2013. Reznor also stated that 2009 would see Nine Inch Nails performing as a four-piece act, opting to not replace Cortini, suggesting the shows would not be of the same aesthetic, visually or musically, during the 2009 dates. The December 17, 2008, nin.com blog entry read:
<blockquote>"The LIGHTS IN THE SKY era has come to a close, and I'd like to once again thank you for your support. I am very proud of what we pulled off - it was an immense amount of work and worth it all.
