The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star

Product Information

Il libro è arricchito da integrazioni dell'autore, precisazioni di molti protagonisti dell'epoca e degli altri componenti del gruppo, versi e testi di alcune canzoni scritte da Nikki stesso quale principale autore di tutte le canzoni e testi delle canzoni dei Mötley Crüe. But the lows were lower, often ending with Nikki in his closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and wrapped in paranoid delusions. To glue it altogether we get contributions from other musicians who all verify what Sixx has written. There are extracts from band members in their own words living and touring with a junkie and former record executives and tour managers share their memories. As you read this book you will find it hard to believe that Nikki survived all this and came through in the end.

Now more than ever, with opioid addiction ravaging our country and rising by twenty percent in the past year alone, Nikki’s story of both his descent into drug-addled decay and subsequent recovery and transition into a rehabilitation advocate are now more relevant than ever. In honor of the ten-year anniversary of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx’s definitive and bestselling memoir on drug addiction is reissued with exclusive new content. I have met Nikki on 3 occassions, one of them for about half and hour at a bar in West Hollywood, and he is by far my favourite member of the Crue. Brutally honest, utterly riveting, and shockingly moving, The Heroin Diaries follows Nikki during the year he plunged to rock bottom - and his courageous decision to pick himself up and start living again. As the creative force behind a multitude of projects, Sixx never stops inventing new ways to express himself and continues to unveil his unusual points of view with new projects.

Set against the frenzied world of heavy metal superstardom, the co-founder of legendary Mötley Crüe offers an unflinching and gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction. The book itself is just like heroin but in a good way - it's so addictive, funny, heartbreaking and the most important thing of all is it shows you the truth about a world most of us dream about.

Magazine 27/10 I've just finsihed reading the book The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and all I've got to say to whoever will get to read this is READ THIS!Here, Nikki shares those diary entries - some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre - and reflects on that time. One of the roadies ('Fast Eddie') scooped up a 14 yo girl who was with us and disappeared into a tour bus with her. Any hardcore Crue fans will know or have heard about the majority of antics/situations that arise within the pages. The reason for this is due to the dirt being a hands down no holds barred kick ass book and Nikki's book does not make the same sort of impact. In one of the most unique memoirs of addiction ever published, Motley Crue's Nikki 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.
