Sixx addict
Nikki Sixx

Who ever thought Nikki Sixx would emerge as the most marketable member of Motley Crüe?
After Tommy Lee’s scuff-up with Kid Rock at the VMAs (not to mention every moment of the last 10 years of his life), repeated appearances of Vince Neil’s bloated corpse on VH1 reality shows and Mick Marr’s hip replacement (how old is that dude anyway?), Sixx almost wins the survivor sweepstakes by default.
What makes his victory even sweeter, though, is that he manages to scamper to the top of the heap by toting his lily-white, glam-boy, has-been ass around the nation touting The Heroin Diaries, his memoir about his copious drug use throughout the Crüe’s 1986-’87 world tour.
It’s some pretty heady stuff, to be sure, and it’s nothing short of a freaking miracle that Sixx is still around to share his stories with the masses.
All jokes aside, Sixx’s stop in Philly should be a sobering one—too bad the addicts who wander within mere blocks of Borders aren’t likely to be lucid enough to pop in for a reality fix. (Joshua Valocchi)
