Motley Crue bassist reveals all about forthcoming project to NME.COM

Nikki Sixx, bassist with second stage headliners Motley Crue, today (June 9) held a last minute press conference to discuss his forthcoming side project the 'Heroin Diaries'.

Comprising a book and soundtrack recorded by Sixx's side-project 6AM, the 'Heroin Diaries' picks up some of the darker aspects of the band's infamous biography 'The Dirt' and chronicles the bassist's decline into drugs during the late 1980s.
