NIKKI SIXX Says The Music Industry Is Full Of Enablers

August 8, 2007

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx recently sat down with Spinner.com for the launch of the site's new column "Shout It Out Loud" to discuss his challenge to the music and entertainment industries and depicts how they both habitually turn a blind eye when they become overbearing.

In the Spinner.com article, Nikki questions why in any other profession your business associates will call attention to your shortcomings and downfalls, but in the music industry everyone just enables your addictions.

Check out the full story at www.spinner.com.

As previously reported, an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for Sixx's new book, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star", can be accessed at this location. It includes the official press release, new band photos, a 32-page downloadable excerpt from the book, the "Life Is Beautiful" video and video highlights from the July 16 press conference all in one.

Due September 18 via MTV/VH1 Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, "The Heroin Diaries" 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. The book is a tell-all, drawn from Nikki's 1986 and '87 journals.

Sixx found the diaries in storage and spent years compiling them for the book. He said he sees them more as a commentary on the record business than as a portrait of a lurid rock 'n' roll lifestyle.

The album will be released by Eleven/Seven Music and distributed by ADA, with a portion of proceeds donated to Nikki's Running Wild in the Night, a fundraising initiative for Covenant House.
