Nikki Sixx autobiography 'The Heroin Diaries'
Founding MÖTLEY CRÜE member Nikki Sixx's new book, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star" (released September 18 via MTV
Pocketbooks/Simon & Schuster), has debuted at #7 on The New York Times Book Review non-fiction best-seller list.
In one of the most extraordinary memoirs of addiction ever published, Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out of control
in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside riveting commentary from people who were there at the time, and from Nikki himself. Adding
unparalleled depth to his project, Sixx created "The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack", which was inspired by the dark and crippling diary entries and
written/produced by SIXX: A.M. (Sixx, James Michael and DJ Ashba), as a unique way to create awareness.
The book's entrance in the Top 10 of the Best Seller list equals the success of "The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack", which entered the Billboard
Independent album chart at #7 upon its release in August. The album's first single, "Life is Beautiful", just entered the Top 10 at active rock radio
and the video is getting massive rotation at Fuse, where Sixx has made appearances on a number of the network's shows.
In addition to the impressive chart numbers of the book, CD and single, publisher MTV Pocketbooks/Simon & Schuster point to the fact that in only its
first week of publication, shipments of "The Heroin Diaries" have already exceeded the hardcover totals of MÖTLEY CRÜE's infamous autobiography, "The
Dirt".
On the day of its release, "The Heroin Diaries" sold out at the Los Angeles Borders Books & Music where Sixx was holding a signing, and according to
Lita Weissman, the District Marketing Manager at Borders: "We've had many book signings here at Borders but this was absolutely one of the biggest."
Earlier this week at a signing held at New York City's Virgin Megastore in Times Square over 600 books were purchased. As multiple mega bookstore
chains continue to mass re-order shipments at the fear of selling out, "The Heroin Diaries" is a top 10 seller at Barnes & Noble and Borders and is
steadily rising to top 10 at Amazon.com.
Twenty-five percent of the book's profits will be donated to Running Wild In The Night — Sixx's fundraising initiative for Covenant House California,
which helps keep runaway, abused and abandoned youth off the streets.

I loved "the Dirt" so I'm guessing this will be just as good.
This guy is almost 50 and looks in his 30's!

I had no idea, he was in anyway cool like this. 25% is a big chunk, good for Nikki Sixx.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Ya that is nice of him.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
