NIKKI SIXX: 'Life Has A Way Of Showing Us That Pain Isn't Always Bad'

May 10, 2006

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

"Sometimes we don't know that we're right where we are supposed to be in life, even when looking down the barrel of a loaded gun. Life has a way of showing us that pain isn't always bad. Sometimes we need to grow from it.

"I have nothing bad to say, nor will I ever, about my life with [estranged wife] Donna [who recently filed for divorce from Sixx]. She is a wonderful lady, but life doesn't always deal us the hand we want. Powerlessness is a gift I am learning to accept, love is a gift I have recieved and tomorrow is something non of us have the ability to see. Today is all we have. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, life is strange, wonderful and painful. Pain hurts, but we hardly ever die from it.

"Thank you for keeping us in your hearts, and not in our wildest dreams did we think we would end up a statistic, but dreams…they're not predictable…"

In a divorce petition filed in Los Angeles on April 28, D'Errico is claiming irreconcilable differences and is seeking physical custody of their 5 year-old daughter Frankie-Jean and her 13 year-old son Rhyan from a previous relationship. D'Errico is requesting that the court give joint legal custody with child visitation to Sixx, and that spousal support and attorney fees be paid by Sixx as well.

Sixx and D'Errico previously separated after four years of marriage (Sixx was rumored to have cheated on D'Errico with ex-HOLE drummer Samantha Maloney, who filled in for then-CRÜE drummer Randy Castillo during their tour in support of the "New Tattoo" album),but D'Errico returned after Sixx spent some time in rehab.
