In a new interview with People, Mötley Crüe bassist, Nikki Sixx, reveals he has a new music-themed animation project coming next year with The Lion King co-director Rob Minkoff, as well as "new music with Mötley".

The following is an excerpt from the feature...

Nikki Sixx is embracing a new milestone - and a completely different environment - with his family as he turns 65.

While out at the Jackson Hole International Film Festival (JHIFF) over the weekend, the musician spoke exclusively with People about life in Wyoming and how "grateful" he is to be a part of the peaceful, outdoorsy community.

"It just really clears our head and allows us to reset," Sixx tells People of he and his wife Courtney Sixx, 38, who share daughter Ruby, 4. "We spend a lot of time outside. I mean, the whole point of being here is to really be outside whether you're into skiing or fishing or hiking or being up on the lakes or snowmobiling."

"And it's very social here, so it's fantastic for us," the Mötley Crüe bass player shares of the friendly, like-minded town. "I wake up and I'm like, 'I can't think of a place I'd rather be.' And to be able to still be creative at 65 and have a wonderful family and be surrounded by good friends. I'm very grateful."
