How I Became: Nikki Sixx

Rock-and-roll icon and three-time bestselling author Nikki Sixx shares his journey from an irrepressible Idaho farmboy to the founder of the revolutionary rock group Mötley Crüe. Born Franklin Carlton Feranna on December 11, 1958, Frankie was abandoned by his father and partly raised by his mother, a troubled woman. He lived with his grandparents and was an all-American kid, but his passion for music led him to pursue a career in music.
