Nine Inch Nails had to cancel last night's show in Hollywood because frontman Trent Reznor was "ill" -- and now we know exactly what's buggin' him.
Sources close to Trent tell TMZ he had a cold and developed a clogged ear during his flight out to California.
The clog got so bad, we're told Reznor couldn't hear himself sing during his show Wednesday at the Palladium and overcompensated by screaming out his songs -- resulting in some seriously screwed up vocal cords.
Reznor will be visiting the doctor again today, and they'll decide then whether the band will be able to continue the tour.
UPDATE: NIN's last few tour dates have now been rescheduled.

Nine Inch Nails has been sued for allegedly injuring a man "intentionally, violently and without just cause."
In a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Mark LaVoie claims he was working security at a Nine Inch Nails concert last October at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin, when he "was struck in the head by a cast iron microphone stand which had been intentionally thrown into the audience by the lead guitarist of Nine Inch Nails, Aaron North."
LaVoie claims he was "knocked unconscious, fell to the floor, and was bleeding from a large laceration on the top of his head."
Lavoie, who is also suing Aaron North, claims he suffered "serious pain and permanent injury."
