This is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx
Author(s): Nikki Sixx
Few of us have experienced life with the intensity, fury, and reckless abandon of Nikki Sixx, the wild rock star, driven entrepreneur, devoted father, former addict, bestselling author and gifted photographer.
This Is Gonna Hurt is part photobook, part journal - but all Nikki Sixx. It is a collection of compelling snapshots and stories that capture the rage, love, optimism, darkness,and determination that shape his work. Told with the raw authenticity that defined his "New York Times" bestseller The Heroine Diaries, This Is Gonna Hurt chronicles Sixx's experience, from his early years filled with toxic waste to his success with Motley Crue, his death from an OD and rebirth to his addictions to music, photography and love. Love story, bad-ass rock tell-all, social commentary, family memoir, This Is Gonna Hurt offers the compelling insights of an artist and a man struggling to survive, connect and find a happy ending - a search that fuels Sixx's being. 'I want to take you on the journey I am on, in real time,' Sixx writes. 'If you don't deal with your demons, they will deal with you, and it's gonna hurt.'
