Adds Courtney of her favorite moment between father and daughter: “Cutest thing ever watching daddy put his stage makeup on her and watching her put matching sparkle tape on her shoes.”

Sixx and the rest of the band were glam rock pioneers back in the ’80s and have carried on with their flair for fashion for over four decades.
