Nikki Sixx is on a world tour with Mötley Crüe, and his 3-year-old daughter Ruby is along for the ride. Over Father's Day weekend, the 64-year-old bassist and songwriter performed alongside his bandmates and co-headliners Def Leppard at gigs in Clisson, France, and Dessel, Belgium. Sixx shares Ruby with wife Courtney Sixx, 37, whom he married in 2014. He is also father to sons Gunner, 32, and Decker, 28, and daughter Storm, 39, who he shares with his ex-wife Brandi Brandt, 54, as well as daughter Frankie-Jean, 22, from his previous marriage to Donna D'Errico, 55.
In an interview with People magazine, the musician expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to tour the world with his youngest child. "I get to be a dad and a rock star all in the same 24 hours, and, honestly, I don’t know which one I work harder at. But I love it," Sixx said.
"My older kids are either in college or working, and having Ruby out on the road keeps my head grounded. "Part of the agreement for me to get out and tour again is if I can take my family with me," he added. The World Tour kicked off in February in Atlantic City and continues with shows in Latin America, Europe and Oceania before wrapping up in November.
On May 15, Courtney shared her excitement over joining Sixx on the road with Ruby. "I’m a happy girl to be in London with Nikki, Ruby and the band!," she wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of herself with Sixx. "So grateful to get to experience 17 countries in 2 months and watch my man play his booty off."
