Idolator
In a heartfelt plea to the music industry to change its venal ways, Nikki Sixx takes a bold stand, asserting that too many world-famous, incomprehensibly wealthy musicians are pushed to the point of depression (or at least ennui) by their fabulous lifestyles and turned into addicts, something he even claims isn't "a new story, or refreshing at all." Still, he's mad as hell and he's gently urging the music industry to not take it anymore.
"People die from this shit and record sales go up," Sixx writes. "Oh, wait, there's a good motive. It's a business after all. Cruel, sad and true. I've seen it, I lived it. So why bring it up?...I think we need to stop enabling artists before the blood hits the floor for humans' sake, not for gross ticket sales' sake and not for commissions, but because we care." The new, humanitarian Sixx also has a book about his drinking and drugging misadventures due in a little over a month. Not that one has anything to do with the other.

Not at all. But just wait until you hear the album that accompanies the book. Not even junk could make that thing tolerable.
Aerosmith made fucking brilliant albums when they were high 24/7. When they cleaned up, they recorded "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing".
Point: Drugs
