Nikki Sixx Apologises For Making Female Fan Cry

February 18, 2009

Nikki Sixx has apologised for the verbal tirade which caused a female fan to cry at a Motley Crue show.

As reported earlier, the 50-year-old bassist went crazy when a female fan threw a plastic water bottle towards him – however, it was the exact same bottle that he had threw into the crowd moments earlier.

He ranted: "You think that shit's funny motherf*cker. Suck my dick motherf*cker, fuck you.

"The fact that you're a fucking whore means you can suck my dick a little more, you bitch. Ah, now she's fucking crying."

Conveniently, after the video emerged yesterday Sixx wrote an apology on his blog, saying: "There was a recent event at one of our shows where someone threw a bottle at me during my speech and I got pretty pissed.

"The way it happened is, I threw a bottle of water to some fans and didn't realise the very bottle I threw to the fans was thrown back at me. I have to admit, bands get pretty pissed when people throw shit at you onstage. I didn't even think it was the same bottle, so with that being said, I'd like to say I'm sorry to the fan who threw the bottle back at me.

"These damn clichés seem to be true, like two wrongs don't make a right... Rock 'n' roll, and temper tantrums… PS: These self-help books are really helping. Ha-Ha."
