"I run this business like an iron fist and nobody can get in and f*** with our band": Nikki Sixx on making new music, replacing Mick Mars, work-life balance and learning when to say no

Nikki Sixx turns 66 this year. Which is amazing when you consider how many times he nearly died of drug overdoses in his twenties. Almost as amazing as the fact that this year it will be 43 years since his band Mötley Crüe released their classic debut album, Too Fast For Love. In fact, Nikki and the Crüe almost died so many times over the years it’s a miracle they are not only still going, but bigger and stronger than ever. Currently touring the US, they recently released the three-track EP Cancelled.
