Drummer Ilan Rubin (20) has officially left Lostprophets in order to join Nine Inch Nails in 2009 as the replacement for the group\'s current sticksman, Josh Freese. Comments Ilan:\"As of January, NIN is my full-time thing. I know that I\'m not just a stand-in, I\'ll be there for whatever needs to be done, so that\'s my new position. Lostprophets are fans of Nine Inch Nails so I can say that there are no hard feelings. I\'ll be able to leave on a positive note and remain friends with everybody.\"
Ilan Rubin joined Lostprophets in 2005 as a replacement for former drummer Mike Chiplin, although he is not featured on the band\'s 2006 album \'Liberation Transmission\'.
Josh Freese has played with Nine Inch Nails for the last three years, joining the lineup in late 2005.
