Singer Trent Reznor of the rock group Nine Inch Nails cancels concert after finding out his dog was killed in an accident.

It was nihilism as usual on stage at a recent Nine Inch Nails concert in Columbus, Ohio, until tragedy struck Trent Reznor's best friend, Maise, a golden retriever. Handlers were walking the pooch on the arena's third-floor balcony when the dog jumped onto a railing, then plunged 50 feet to his death.

Reznor heard the news after the set and revealed a sensitive side. "That was really tough for him," says a spokeswoman. Reznor promptly canceled a concert two days later. Says the spokeswoman: "He flew straight to Miami. He thought [the warmer weather] might cheer him up."
