Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx has announced that his new book, The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx, will be released later this year!
This is not Sixx’s first foray into the world of written word. He released The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star back in 2007. Six years before that, Sixx and his bandmates released The Dirt.
According to a press release put out by the book’s publisher, Hachette Books, and Better Noise Music, the new book will trace his early years and what led to him becoming one of the biggest rock stars in the world:
You’ve heard the tales of excess and debauchery. All the peaks and the valleys that came with rock and roll stardom and my life in one of the world’s biggest bands. This is the story that you haven’t heard. The one that led up to those stories. It’s the intimate, personal story of how an innocent Idaho farm boy with a burning dream and desire—for music, for love, and for fame— became the notorious Nikki Sixx. I believe our first twenty-one years have a lot to do with shaping who we become. These are my first twenty-one, and it’s my hope that they thrill and inspire you to invest in your own, biggest dreams.
The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx will be released on October 19th, 2021. You can pre-order the book HERE.
