ROCKER Nikki Sixx is the legendary bassist and songwriter of Mötley Crüe – who once boasted about an orgy with 150 women.
He founded Mötley Crüe with drummer Tommy Lee, lead guitarist Mick Mars and lead singer Vince Neil in 1981 and they went on to sell over 100 million records worldwide.
But Nikki is also a dad of five from three relationships, and his offspring share his unique moniker.
His fourth child, daughter Frankie-Jean Mary Sixx, lives relatively under the radar studying psychology and sociology at the University of Oregon.
And the rock star’s daughter has become a budding entrepreneur.
The 22-year-old recently kick-started her own online business selling crystals and launched Frankie’s Crystals Co back in 2020.
She has also been dating hockey player Easton Easterson for eight years, and he recently paid a sweet tribute to her on Instagram, writing: “I love you so much and am so happy to have spent the last 8 years as your partner.
“I am lucky to spend my days with my best friend and grow our life together.”
The couple suffered a terrible tragedy in 2016 when they welcomed a child into the world together, Jesse Evan Easterson.
However Jesse sadly died just hours after his birth, as Frankie revealed on Instagram in 2017.
She posted an emotional tribute to the tot in 2021, on what would have been his 5th birthday.
“There are so many things I will never know about you. They may seem small and insignificant to parents of living children, but I’m reminded of them every day,” she penned.
“What do you like for breakfast, savory or sweet? Hot or cold weather? Would you end up preferring coffee or tea? Do you like to sing?
“I’ll never know these things until we meet again one day. Until then you rest in our hearts and on our skin with every step we have to take without you.”
Not much is known about Frankie’s childhood, but it’s fair to say it wasn’t like her dad’s.
At the age of 17, Sixx moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in music.
He began working at a variety of dead-end jobs to supplement his income while simultaneously honing his bass skills and auditioning for various bands.
Sixx eventually became a member of Sister before going on to form London with his Sister bandmate Lizzie Grey.
As a youth, Sixx became involved in various crimes, including robbery, vandalism, drug dealing, as well as living on the streets.
On December 23, 1987, at the age of 29, Sixx overdosed on heroin and was declared dead for two minutes before he was revived by a paramedic.
In June 2018, he released his third book, The Heroin Diaries, in which he chronicled his personal experiences with addiction.
