It's been exactly 4 years since i joined Nine Inch Nails and the time has come for me to move onto new things.
I feel a need to explore other paths in music and life which leads me to leave the tour at this stage.
I am grateful of the chance i was given: it doesn't happen every day to be able to work next to some of the most talented people on this planet.

Trent & Co. have been aware of this decision of mine for a while now and are prepared to take the band to the next step.

Thanks to all the fans who welcomed me at the beginning of my journey and supported me through the years: I hope to see you around here or there.

It's sad to see you leave the band I discovered you through, but in turn I hope it leads you to make more of the amazing music that I've grown to love.

Aw. We'll miss you Ally... but obviously this isn't where it ends. I look forward to seeing what you do next with MWM and BOF and anything else. I hope that someday later on you might work with Trent again, but for now, I'm happy that I got to see you play with NIN on this past tour. You're amazing.

Alessandro,
You have been an inspiration to me.
I mean...I have literally had dreams of being in your shoes on stage with NIN.

You may not be with NIN anymore, but I am still listening.

I'm so speechless............
ok all I want to say is that I wish you the best of luck in the furture.
thanks for everything you did with NIN. you will be missed.
I just can't think of NIN without you but the discision is yours, of course...
I'll remember you as the best keyboard player among those who had been in NIN.
and you were the nicest person in the band when NIN visited Korea.
I love you, Ally! and always will!

I started to listen to NIN exactly when Alessandro joined the band.Still I think this
is the best desicion. I could belive that you can develope even more. Go ahed,

person is leaving the band.But i hope its good opportunity for alessandro and his music.

No Alessandro, thank YOU. You've been an amazing part of what I think is the best lineup of NIN and I count myself incredibly lucky to have gotten to see you guys on the Lights in the Sky Tour. I can't wait to hear what you do next, which hopefully involves an East Coast/Midwest Modwheelmood tour?

Regardless, I'm sure you'll amaze all of us.

All the best.

Your talent will be sorely missed in NIN. You really raised the bar ..boards/synth for them and made me relate to the band like never before. Like many I discovered MWM through your NIN connection and now eagerly await the next chapter in your career. I wish you inspiration and success!

I am so lucky to have seen you last night. I went to Vegas from NY and I booked my flight to leave at 11:45pm that day, but I stayed to the end of the show. I almost missed the flight home, but it was a miracle, I made it. You were so awesome. I'm sad that you are leaving,but I'm so proud of you. Anyway I love your music and I'm so looking forward to you guys coming to NY soon.

Take care and enjoy your music!!
