The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star (Ten Year Anniversary Edition) by Nikki Sixx

A visceral, unfiltered journey through addiction, fame, and redemption. In this special anniversary edition of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx—bassist of Mötley Crüe—opens the door to his darkest year, chronicling a harrowing descent into heroin addiction through raw, poetic, and often surreal diary entries.

About the Book

At the height of Mötley Crüe’s fame, Sixx was living in a haze of excess, paranoia, and self-destruction. This memoir captures that year in real time, with entries that swing between euphoric highs and terrifying lows—often written from the floor of a closet, surrounded by drug paraphernalia. The book is interwoven with reflections from Sixx and commentary from bandmates, friends, and collaborators including Tommy Lee, Slash, and Bob Rock, offering a multifaceted portrait of a man unraveling—and rebuilding.
