Nikki Sixx Gets Engaged to Courtney Bingham, Continues Work on New Motley Crue Songs

John Sciulli, Getty Images Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx is surely all smiles right now, as he’s been revealing a mess of good news during the last few days. Along with the bassist giving fans an update on the progress of Motley Crue’s new material, Sixx has just announced that he popped the question to his model girlfriend Courtney Bingham, officially snatching her up as the future Mrs. Sixx. Sixx is one of heavy metal’s most active musicians when it comes to social media. The bassist’s Facebook and Twitter accounts are both constantly being updated by Nikki himself to keep in close contact with his legions of fans, and those very fans have come out in droves to congratulate Sixx on the engagement. This will be the bassist’s third marriage, having previously tied the knot with Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt and Baywatch actress Donna D’Errico. Earlier today (Nov. 26), Sixx posted the news of his most recent engagement on his Facebook page: When Courtney and I were in St Bart’s I popped the question and she said YES….We would like to thank everybody who has been tweeting and posting online us congratulations….Both of us and our families are beyond happy….. The warm sentiments from fans have been pouring in since the announcement. Sixx also used Facebook to  update  fans on the progress of Motley Crue’s new material, writing the following message over the weekend: So glad we recorded the new “Motley Crue” track “Sex” and actually got it out in time for the last tour for you to hear live. Obviously there is much more to come (as always). Mick Mars told me he has so many riffs ready to go too….But “Sex” was just a taste of some “New Crue”. I’ve personally been writing my ass off for months now. Feeling really inspired to follow it up with the rest of the songs from the band too……. Have a great weekend… Rock n Roll…… Congrats to Nikki Sixx and Courtney Bingham and best wishes for their life as husband and wife.
