A new documentary titled Di’Anno – Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer, focusing on late Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno, will be released via digital VOD and on DVD/Blu-Ray on June 9th via Cleopatra Entertainment, with a theatrical screening at the Lumiere Music Hall Theater in Beverly Hills that same day.
The film has been screening in the UK since May 1st, with a US film festival appearance on May 13th at Sound Unseen Minneapoli, as well as an upcoming one on June 3rd at San Francisco Documentary Festival. Tickets for the Beverly Hills screening and Q&A are available here, while pre-orders for the physical release can be found here.
The documentary covers two fans’ discovery of Di’Anno during a low point late in his life, as they helped him regain his health and relaunch his career. Paul Di’Anno passed away in 2024 after a series of health issues, only meeting his Iron Maiden replacement Bruce Dickinson mere months before his passing. The Iron Maiden documentary features appearances by Metallica’s James Hetfield, KISS’ Gene Simmons, and Iron Maiden founder Steve Harris, as well as members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill, and Sepultura.

Director Wes Orchoski stated, “Paul was waiting for surgeries that doctors in the UK would not greenlight. He was in an incredibly dark place. But once he got to Croatia, fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for. It was beautiful to witness. I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you’ve ever seen. And in the end, I think we got there.”
Orchoski’s previous credit’s include Lemmy about Motorhead founder and frontman Lemmy Kilmister, and The Damned’s Don’t You Wish You Were Dead.
Iron Maiden, meanwhile, will hit North America in the late summer for their “Run For Your Lives Tour” celebrating their first nine albums, including their self-titled debut and Killers, both recorded with Di’Anno as their singer. Pick up tickets here.
