[閒聊] Nikki Sixx 50歲囉
MÖTLEY CRÜE's NIKKI SIXX Hits 50 - Dec. 11, 2008
The Pulse of Radio reports: MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx turns 50 on
Thursday (December 11), and probably no one is more surprised than Sixx
himself that he made it. The California native was a major drug abuser during
much of the band's first decade, and was once even declared dead for two
minutes after overdosing on heroin. Since getting sober, however, Sixx has
continued to record and tour, written a book, taken up photography and become
president of a record label. He told The Pulse of Radio that sometimes he
can't believe his current lifestyle. "It's insane," he said. "It's insane.
And you know what? If you manage it well, you can achieve so much on the
planet, more than what I used to be able to achieve, which was, 'Let me write
ten songs, record an album and go on tour.' That's it. That's all I did.
That's like, ridiculous. If all I had to do was make a MÖTLEY CRÜE album
and tour, I'd feel like I was gonna slit my wrists, I'd be so bored now."
Sixx's real name is Frank Carlton Serafina Feranna. He was born in San Jose
and raised by his mother and grandparents after his father left the family.
After moving around several times, he struck out for Los Angeles on his own
at the age of 17, first joining the band London before forming MÖTLEY CRÜE
in 1981 with drummer Tommy Lee.
The band released its debut album, "Too Fast For Love", in 1982, and scored
its commercial breakthrough in 1983 with "Shout at the Devil".
Despite other hit albums such as "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood",
the CRÜE went through a period of uncertainty in the '90s, with both singer
Vince Neil and Lee leaving the group at different times.
The original band reunited in 2004 for a hugely successful world tour, at
which point Sixx officially declared himself sober.
His darkest drug period was chronicled in a 2007 memoir, "The Heroin Diaries:
A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star", and the accompanying album by
his side project SIXX: A.M.
Sixx has been married twice, to Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt and actress
Donna D'Errico, and has five children. He is currently dating tattoo artist
and "L.A. Ink" star Kat Von D.
