Book Passage rocks with Nikki Sixx

It's just been confirmed! On Thursday, April 14th at 6 pm, Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx will be signing copies of his new book, This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx at Book Passage in San Francisco.

Love story, bad-ass rock tell-all, social commentary, family memoir, This Is Gonna Hurt (Morrow, $29.99) is a collection of compelling photographs and stories that capture the rage, love, optimism, darkness, and determination that shape this singular musician's work. Combining the raw authenticity that defined his New York Times Bestseller, The Heroin Diaries, with a photographic journey, This Is Gonna Hurt chronicles Sixx's many experiences — from his early years filled with toxic waste, to his success with Motley Crue, to his death from an over-dose and his eventual "rebirth" through music, photography, and love.

Sixx, who was born in San Jose, offers readers compelling insights as an artist and as a man struggling to survive, connect, and find a happy ending — a search that fuels this musician's everyday life.

In 1981, Sixx became the bassist for Motley Crue, the legendary rock band he started with friend Tommy Lee. Today, Sixx is a bestselling author, a nationally syndicated radio host, a solo artist, photographer, film maker, and a still loyal member of the Crue.

Please note: our April 14th event with Nikki Sixx is a booksigning only. This special event will take place at our store in the Ferry Building in San Francisco. If you can't attend this event, please follow this link - This Is Gonna Hurt (Morrow, $29.99) - to place an order for an autographed copy of this new book.

On March 31st, nine-time Grammy Award winner Sheryl Crow will be signing copies of her book, If It Makes You Healthy: More Than 100 Delicious Recipes Inspired by the Seasons (St. Martin's, $29.99), at Book Passage in San Francisco. The start time for this special event is also set for 6 pm.
