According to the David Bowie expert Andy Peters: “This artwork is another ‘DHead’ of Trent Reznor and includes part of the lyrics written in David’s hand at the foot to NINs big hit 'Hurt' which is a unique selling point. This painting never existed in his original inventory of 66 official DHead paintings most of which were made commercially available and was instead part of the rumoured extra 40+ 'nonpublished' DHeads he had also created in the period between 1994 and 1997.”
In 1995 Nine Inch Nails opened for David Bowie on his Outside Tour, where he sang 'Hurt' with Trent Reznor. During their time spent on tour together in the 1990s, a close friendship was born that lasted until Bowie’s death in 2016. Most famously, they collaborated on 'I’m Afraid of Americans', a single from Bowie’s album Earthling.
