Music Trivia: What member of Motley Crue almost suffered a fatal heroin overdose and was legally dead for two minutes?

Drugs and heavy metal bands are a combination frequently found together, and it goes without saying that many musicians have lost their lives to addictions.  Many have also suffered close calls, which is the subject of today's question.  From Pocket Trivia: Music Trivia - What member of Motley Crue almost suffered a fatal heroin overdose and was legally dead for two minutes?  Was it:

• Tommy Lee
• Nikki Sixx
• Mick Mars
• Vince Neil

The answer to this one is Nikki Sixx.  Sixx, who chronicled his life and heroin addiction in his auto-biography, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star, overdosed on heroin on the night of December 23, 1987.  He was legally dead for two minutes, only to be revived when paramedics gave him two shots of adrenaline to the heart.  Sixx claimed to have an out of body experience and says that he saw himself in the ambulance while he was being revived.

The incident would be the inspiration for one of Crue's biggest hits, Kickstart My Heart.

Here's to hoping that the rest of us can find safer sources of inspiration!
