Borders(R) Welcomes Nikki Sixx to Four Stores

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ --
Who: Nikki Sixx is the co-founder and bassist of the legendary rock band
of the 80s, Motley Crue. When Motley Crue was at the height of its
fame, there wasn't any drug Sixx wouldn't do. In one of the most
unique memoirs of addiction ever published, "The Heroin Diaries,"
Sixx shares mesmerizing diary entries from the year he spiraled out
of control in a haze of heroin and cocaine, presented alongside
riveting commentary from people who were there at the time. He has
also released an accompanying CD entitled, "The Heroin Diaries
Soundtrack."
