At last year’s Bonnaroo, rapper M.I.A. made headlines when she claimed that she was performing her last show ever. Here we go again: during his late-night set on Which Stage for Bonnaroo Day Three, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor announced that he was performing his last show ever in the United States. (Reznor and his band are headed to Europe and Asia for a 33-date tour that wraps on August 12th.)
