MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx signed his book "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star" at Borders in Oak Brook, Illinois on September 23, 2007. Check out pictures from ExpoSay, Film Magic and Getty Images.
"The Heroin Diaries" (released September 18 via MTV Pocketbooks/Simon & Schuster), 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.
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.
