I was shocked and saddened today when I heard that David Bowie passed away. He was one of my idols and was also a wonderful person. As most of you may know, Nine Inch Nails toured with David Bowie on the Outside Tour, where I got to drum "Scary Monsters" for him every night. That was one of the biggest highlights of my career.

As one small example of just how special David was, this is a photo of the portrait that David painted of me as a "thank you" at the end of that tour. It's one of my most cherished possessions. He was as amazing of a person as he was a musical and artistic genius, and although he is now gone, he will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, David.

That scary monsters performance was ace btw, Chris. I used to air drum along to it on a bootleg I had in the 90s quite often.
