Nikki Sixx believes older rockers should embrace their age, rather than trying to act like they’re still young.

The Motley Crue bassist – who turns 67 on Dec. 11 – explained his viewpoint during a recent conversation with WTHR 13 News .

"Life changes, man. It's cool that it changes,” Sixx noted. “The thing that I don't like is when I see artists that are still trying to act 25 and they're 65. I don't think that's cool for the fans.”

As the bassist sees it, getting older is a necessary part of life – hanging onto the past would be inauthentic.

"Evolution is evolution,” Sixx declared. “We all age, we all change, we have different interests, and Motley Crue seems to have ridden that wave pretty good, just letting it be real.”
