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

Product Information

As you read this book you will find it hard to believe that Nikki survived all this and came through in the end. Set against the frenzied world of heavy metal superstardom, the co-founder of legendary Motley Crue offers an unflinching and gripping look at his own descent into drug addiction.

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. This shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious memoir explores Nikki’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction. Here, Nikki shares those diary entries - some poetic, some scatterbrained, some bizarre - and reflects on that time. She came back 15 minutes later looking shell-shocked and speechless, but nevertheless pleased that she'd been promised a backstage pass and a meet up with Nikki Sixx that evening.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.
