NIKKI SIXX: More Details Revealed About 'The Heroin Diaries' Book And Soundtrack

April 24, 2007

According to Hits Daily Double, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx's "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star", which is set to come out September 2007 through MTV Books/Simon & Schuster, will be accompanied by an original concept soundtrack featuring Nikki along with DJ Ashba (ex-BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) and James Michael. 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. The book is a tell-all covering 12 months in Sixx's battle against addiction, drawn from Nikki's 1986 and '87 journals, and reportedly makes CRÜE's celebrated "Dirt", now being made into a motion picture, sound like Mary Poppins.

Sixx previously said about the "The Heroin Diaries" book, "The more it sells, the more awareness on drug and alcohol addiction and the more money it will raise for Running Wild in the Night and Covenant House. It's really a great read now that all the pieces of the puzzle are in place. So many people came to the table to tell their side of the story relating to the actual diary entries.

"The title of the book is somewhat misleading 'cause it also deals with my family problems as a kid, depression as well as my downward spiral into freebase and pill addiction as well etc. etc.

"Lemmy [MOTÖRHEAD] wrote a short medical history for the beginning of the book, very demented — like only Lemmy can be."
