Kelly Nickels (born January 5, 1962) is a bassist who has played in various bands including Sweet Pain, Faster Pussycat and L.A. Guns.[1]
He started his career as a roadie/light man for Hotshot, which was an early incarnation of the band Danger Danger and later was the band led by Mike Pont, the second Danger Danger vocalist.
He was replaced in Sweet Pain by Victor Prestin. He was badly injured in a motorcycle accident (at an intersection on the Sunset Strip in California) in October 1986, when he was still with Faster Pussycat. His leg was broken in seven different places, and he had to walk with a cane for a long time afterwards.
By the late-1980s, he had joined L.A. Guns. He remained with the group throughout their most commercially successful period. In addition to playing bass throughout his tenure with the group, he also sang lead vocals on the L.A. Guns song "Nothing Better To Do." After leaving the band in the 1990s, he would rejoin them in the early 2000s.
He is married to Kelly Cunningham, the mother of famous actress Emma Roberts. Nickels also has a child with Cunningham, Grace Nickels, born in 2001.
