Nikki Sudden - Liquor, Guns and Ammo

"Liquor, Guns and Ammo" recorded an album with three members of R.E.M.



Nikki Sudden was born on July 19, 1956 in London, England as Adrian Nicholas Godfrey.

He died on March 26, 2006 in New York City, New York, USA.



A drug user for many years, 'heart attack' was probably caused by a heroin overdose. His former band member Kevin Junior told the Chicago Reader in January 2007, that Nikki Sudden had been an "addict" and he witnessed excessive drug use in 2004, when Sudden had asked him to come to Berlin and join his band for a European tour: "The amount of drug use, fighting, and inner turmoil was ridiculous. We were fighting over girls and scraps of powder, absolutely the most retarded, childlike behavior." Junior returned to Chicago and quit drugs, but a few years later he heard again from Sudden: "Just a couple days before he died we were in contact. We wrote each other a couple really funny e-mails. But then he asked me if I could hook him up with somebody in Chicago to get dope. And I said absolutely not. I was kind of insulted, 'cause I'd been clean for a long time. Like, 'How dare you ask me to get back into that world, Nikki.' "
