Nikki Sixx, bassist of the infamous rock band Mötley Crüe, recently opened up on X (formerly Twitter) about how people react to his spiritual journey.

“I feel like when I mention spirituality, people are either really surprised or run for the door,” Sixx said. “Knowing my past, I’m still really surprised myself.”

Sixx’s honest reflection shines a light on the dramatic contrast between his chaotic rockstar past and his current mindset.

As a member of one of the most wild and controversial bands in rock history, his spiritual evolution has caught fans off guard—and even he admits to being taken aback by it.

His message is part of an ongoing personal transformation that he’s been sharing more openly in recent years.

For many, Sixx’s growth from the dark corners of fame into something more introspective and grounded adds a new layer to his legacy—one that continues to evolve.
