Nikki Sixx proves his literary worth yet again

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx is now a three-times best selling author.

'This Is Gonna Hurt: Photography and Life Through The Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx' this week is the no.4 best seller on the New Tork Times Best-Sellers list.

Sixx wrote the book completely on his own, with no ghostwriter, as a tribute to his institutionalized sister.

"I am grateful and inspired that I have the opportunity to touch people in a unique way with my book THIS IS GONNA HURT and with the music I create with James and D.J. in Sixx:A.M. Traveling around the country, meeting fans and hearing their stories in person and on my radio show has reenergized my commitment to creating honest and inspirational content that not only serves my own creative purposes but can help and touch others as well," said Nikki Sixx in a statement.

Sixx will release the accompanying album 'This Is Gonna Hurt' on May 3 and then head out around America on a book tour.
