In October 2016, in response to a fan’s question about the lack of new Nine Inch Nails music, Reznor responded with “2016 is not over yet”. In December 2016, Reznor commented on his statement regarding Nine Inch Nails’ return by the end of the year: “Those words did come out of my mouth, didn’t they? … Just wait and see what happens.” Three days later, Reznor announced an EP titled Not the Actual Events , along with reissues of Broken , The Downward Spiral , and The Fragile, with subsequent reissues of With Teeth , Year Zero , and The Slip to be released later in 2017, these plans however fell through. Also announced was The Fragile: Deviations 1 , which comprised 37 instrumental, alternate and unreleased tracks, many of which have never been heard before anywhere. Not the Actual Events was released on December 23, 2016, with fans who pre-ordered it receiving their download links one day earlier. Atticus Ross was also revealed to be an official full-time member of the band, the first member other than Reznor to be added to the band.
