NIKKI SIXX Says Response To 'The Heroin Diaries' Is 'Overwhelming'

May 29, 2007

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx posted the following message on his web site:

"In New York City doing business for 'The Heroin Diaries' book and soundtrack. There is an overwhelming response to all of it. So much support for this positive project. I'm very proud of this, the music, the book and all the high-level partners who are coming to the table in support. The only downside is lack of sleep, but what’s new. Leaving for Zurich for a rehearsal with MÖTLEY CRÜE in a few hours and then nine shows in Europe. It looks like I might be able to take a day and go to Transylvania to do photography. Kelly Gray is gonna join me and Kimo since she's coming to London for us to have meetings with retail for Royal Underground (we're rolling out a women's collection and jewelry soon). Sitting in these meetings playing 'The Heroin Diaries' soundtrack album top to bottom and seeing people's jaws hit the floor is the most satisfying feeling I've had in years on a musical level. Thank you all for supporting this."

As previously reported, Nikki Sixx's video for "Life Is Beautiful" has been posted at UGO.com. This is the first single from "The Heroin Diaries" soundtrack, which hits stores on August 21. The song is performed by Sixx, DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES),and James Michael who are collectively known as SIXX:A.M.

"The Heroin Diaries" CD is a precursor to Sixx's autobiography of the same name, which arrives September 25. The album's 12 tracks each match up with one chapter in the book; "Life Is Beautiful" can be streamed from the book's MySpace.com page. An e-card for "The Heroin Diaries", which contains an excerpt from the book's first chapter where Nikki talks about his love/hate relationship with his dealer, is available at this location.

"The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star" offers an unflinching and utterly gripping look at Sixx's descent into drug addiction with a soundtrack, featuring James Michael and DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES),to match.
