Depressed Reznor Admits To Death Wish

NINE INCH NAILS star [Trent Reznor](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/trent-reznor) reveals he's lucky to be alive after heading towards suicide four years ago.

The goth rocker admits he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he turned a funeral parlour into a live-in recording studio, to die after falling into a heavy depression.

He says, "I was going to just drink myself or drug myself out of it... I'd pretty much lost my soul. I just felt like nothing.

"It was unquestionably the worst thing ever - just lying all the time about everything. I was in terrible physical shape too."

It took the death of a close friend to give Reznor the strength and purpose he needed to climb out of his depression.

He adds, "Someone had executed him; shot him in the head in the projects (of New Orleans). I was so f\*\*ked up I couldn't go to the funeral.

"That seemed to be what it took for me to say, 'Not for me, for him.'"

Reznor, 39, checked into rehab, adding, "I remember thinking how thankful I was that I wasn't married or in a relationship that had to refigure itself out."
