ex-NIN Drummer Dillon Comments On Situation

It turns out Nine Inch Nails drummer Jerome Dillon, who was replaced three weeks ago by Alex Carapetis after leaving the band following its October 1 performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, isn't sick at all. On his Web site on Friday, Dillon, who was said to have been undergoing treatment for an unspecified heart condition and was previously supposedly diagnosed as suffering from exhaustion and fatigue, revealed he's perfectly healthy. "Contrary to many published reports in the music press, I want to make it clear that my departure from the band has absolutely nothing to do with my health," he wrote, adding that he's no longer a member of Nine Inch Nails. "I've learned much about myself — and those around me (particularly in the last month) — and it's brought about many positive changes. Although I appreciate the concern, I am not sick or recuperating. I feel great (physically and otherwise) and am playing the best drums of my life right now."
