NIKKI SIXX Talks About 'The Heroin Diaries'; Video Available
July 21, 2007MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx took part in a press conference this past Monday (July 16, 2007) to promote his new book and accompanying soundtrack, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star". Two separate video interviews with Nikki (and his new band SIXX: A.M.) conducted on that day have been posted on YouTube:
As previously reported, an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for "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 press conference all in one.
Nikki Sixx's new band SIXX: A.M. — also featuring James Michael and DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) — made its live debut on July 16.
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.
