SIXX: A.M. Pulls Out Of Phoenix 'Crüe Fest '08' Date

July 31, 2008

SIXX: A.M. — which features MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx, James Michael and DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) — has cancelled its appearance at today's (Thursday, July 31) Crüe Fest '08 concert at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Phoenix, Arizona because James Michael is "sick."

Video footage of SIXX: A.M. performing on July 8, 2008 at the Jones Beach Amphitheater in Wantagh, New York can be viewed below (clip courtesy of Dalila Kriheli).

SIXX: A.M. made its live debut in July 2007 following a press conference to promote Sixx's new book and accompanying soundtrack, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star". Highlights from the press conference can be seen at this location.

Released last September 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. 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 SIXX: A.M. album, which serves as the "soundtrack" to Sixx's "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star" book, was 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. The CD has sold 247,000 copies in the United States so far, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
