NIKKI SIXX: 'What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger'

July 11, 2006

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has posted the following message in his online diary:

"I haven't had the heart to post for a long time. I think it's been pretty obvious why [referring to the fact that his wife, Donna, recently filed for divorce after nine years of marriage — Ed.]. I've just been focusing on my kids and making sure they're OK. I feel they're getting what they need in the way of support and love from myself, Donna and Brandi [first wife]. Of course, there's the lawyers, lawyers, lawyers — draining, emotionally and financially, but this isn't my first rodeo, but I will tell you it's my last. The upside to the downside is I'm on a creative high. [I've] been on a songwriting binge. Funny Farm studios is up and running 5 or 6 days a week. I've been writing with DJ, who works out of Funny Farm, every day, churning out songs with me and a lot of other great songwriters. I heard the MEAT LOAF song I wrote with Desmond Child and John 5 is getting a good response, I really loved writing with Desmond and John 5.

"In an all-out attempt to let go of the outcome, the new songs have no destination at this time. I've gotten back into photography too. After the tour and after the divorce papers were served, I was dead, rotting and confused. Time seems to heal all wounds, now all that's left are the bruises. In the end, all I really care about are these beautiful kids. At some point I have to focus on the AEROSMITH-CRÜE tour and a new album (both which im very excited about).

"We have a show somewhere in a week or so, and to be honest, I don't have the heart to go do a gig right now, but once the stage lights dim, I always come alive. Sikki is always waiting in the wings.

"To quote a favorite cliché: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I'm living proof of that."
