Justin,
I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being in this most amazing group of musicians and just giving it everything you've got everynight for us. I'm so sorry for what you and your family have been going through. We appreciate it so much that you are willing to publically share this with all of us. This hits home for me. When I was 11 back in 1992, my father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a courageous battle that he went through for 3 years. By the beginning of 1995, he was in remission, but had come down with the flu and was hospitalized just as a precaution. Unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly while in the hospital. But he fought the cancer and that is not how he passed. My thoughts and prayers are with your mom, you , and family always. Please keep your head up and know that all of us on here are right beside you!

Love,
Jessica

I think I can speak for anyone in this community that has ever met you or even just witnessed you play live.......

Your kindness and generosity has been amazing, especially over the last couple of weeks with everything you have been going through. You have brought a closeness to myself and other NIN fans that I personally have not experienced in 20 years of being in awe of this music.

Thank you again Justin

All the Best

Thanks for everything Justin, I hope everything goes well for you and your family especially your mom. Take much care, and stay strong.

I am very sorry to hear about your mom. I wish you and your family all the best.

As for the final NIN shows, great job. They were intense, emotional and awesome at the same time. Thank you for all that you have done with NIN.

Well done sir.

Our thoughts are with you. And you were never distant!

Thank you again for always being so kind

Justin,


Glad to know you are feeling the love and support for both you and your mother. I will be carrying positive and healing thoughts for her. When you were leaving the stage on Thursday, that's when my tears rolled. You definitely had your heart on your sleeve and the energy was pretty powerful. I hope that knowing you have so much support is somewhat comforting, even though it can't be easy.

I live in LA and hope you will be gigging it with some local bands at Echoplex, etc. in the near future. At least you have somewhat of an outlet to pour your heart out. It's a bittersweet thing that the best work comes out of heavy emotions.

And on a shallow note - your daughter is a doll.

Best,
Debi

Justin!
I can't find the right words...
I had a privilege and pleasure to meet you before and after a gig in Poland. You are the nicest person I've ever meet! Me and my friend are still spellbound by your openness towards other and positive energy you spread. Thank you for thise moments.
Knowing how kind person you are, I feel deeply touched by what happened to your Mom.
Justin, be brave. Whatever will happend, it all has a cause. Remember there are people who love you and will be with you anytime: starting with your lovely wife and even more lovely Zelly, ending with those of us you haven't had an opportunity to meet.
I know sooner or later everything's gonna be alright.
All I can do is to think about you and send the positive vibes. During a difficult time for you all, please take care.
I'm with you and all your family with all my heart.

Hi Justin

Thanks for sharing this with us.

My Mum went through a similar experience with her sister years ago, who died from a similar condition. I know, for my Mum, it was a very harrowing time because she just wanted her sister to be free from pain. I hope that the medical community do their best to assist your Mum in handling the pain and coping with what lies ahead.

Just spend every moment you can with your Mum, do whatever it takes. Show her every day how much you love her. That makes all the difference with people who are in a lot of pain. Take your daughter in for visits; children always make hospitals a much more pleasant place and tend to put a smile on the face of whoever is ill and feeling down.

I wish your Mum every opportunity to be cured but at the same time, my family's experiences with cancer have been so traumatic, you have to be prepared. I hope she is pain-free or that the pain is managed, and that her visitors (you included) still manage to bring a smile to her face.

Finally, always know, Justin, that we're not just a fan base. You guys mean a lot to us and we consider ourselves to be friends (no matter how stalker-ish that might sound!). Never be afraid to reach out or just let us know how you're feeling, if you feel that's appropriate.

My hopes and thoughts are with your Mum. Be strong, because your Mum will need you to be.

you are a valuable musician... i had the short experience of chat with you... well really i like the style you give to NIN.. i`ll keep an eye in all your music work, and never forget to be strong... even if the world is coming down into pieces.

Greetings from Guatemala!!!!!!!

So sorry to hear about your mom, Justin. I work with MM, leukemia, and lymphoma patients. Always amazed with the courage they possess. Thinking of you and your family during this very difficult time.

Really cool of you to write updates on here throughout the tours. I only met you for like 60 seconds but you seem to be a pretty nice guy. Loved your dancing to Micheal Jackson in a random youtube video that is floating around..you got some skillz there.

All the best and enjoy spending time with your family. Sorry about your mom being ill. That is definitly difficult to deal with..love and support will get your family through this battle.

You've done an amazing job balancing NIN with your concerns about your Mum, I know how hard it is even to try & keep ordinary days going in a straight line in this situation having been there a few years ago. I hope that you are able to spend good times with her still despite everything. Good luck and all the best.

my mom is sick as well - she had a stroke and refuses to be fully well again. i know how it feels to be in a really tight position. and i cant help but let it all out before it takes me down.. music is also my escape. it does lighten the worries.

the best thing to do now is to take care of your mom, as much as she has taken care of you when you were growing up. i know i am doing just that, but it wont be that easy. just be strong for your mom, justin.. you and the rest of your family.

all the love in the world.
xoxo

Justin, I will definitely keep your mom and everyone in your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry that you all have to go through this and I wish you all the good luck in the world.

You are a most graceful and nice man. It was such a pleasure to have you in NIN for the last tours! NIN fans are sometimes excessive and weird (when it's not downright crazy!) but most of us are extremely loyal and when we love someone, it's for life; no matter what. You will always be welcome here and I know that personally, I will always be interested to see what new project you will come up with.

So again, the best of luck to your mom and all of your family!

You are a class act and probably the nicest person in the biz Justin. I had the pleasure of meeting you in Austin and then in Mountain View and you always seemed so genuine and approachable. I feel like I want to help in some way but since I know I can't realistically do that I will just have to offer well wishes and prayers for you and your family.
