NIKKI SIXX Interviewed On GRAMMY 'Red Carpet'; Video Available

February 14, 2011

MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx was interviewed on the red carpet at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards, which was held last night (Sunday, February 13) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. You can watch the chat below.

Sixx recently spoke to Billboard.com about "This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx", the follow-up to his 2007 New York Times bestseller "The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star". Sixx described the book, which is due on April 12, as "very personal," using his photographs as jumping-off points for essays about a variety of subjects. "It's definitely not an autobiography," he said. "I don't write with an editor in mind or critique myself. It's just me shooting from the hip. Sometimes it's tirades and rants. Sometimes it's very focused. Sometimes it's very sentimental and soft and reflective. Sometimes it's brutal in is assholeishness. It's all my opinion, and I stand by it."

"A lot of this photography is based around the fact my sister was institutionalized," he continued. "I realized a lot of what I've done my whole career was based around fulfilling this fantasy of being closer to my sister, which is pretty heavy."

SIXX: A.M.'s companion album, "This Is Gonna Hurt", will be issued on May 10, while the first single, "Lies Of The Beautiful People", is due on March 1.
