In 2026, Paul Di’Anno, the late frontman of Iron Maiden, will posthumously release a new live album, as reported by blabbermouth.net. Recorded while on tour in 2024, it will be the singer’s final live album. Before Christmas, further information will be made public, such as the album’s title, track list, record label, and the location of the recording. A very limited version of Di’Anno‘s new live album will only be available on vinyl. As previously mentioned, “Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer” is an official documentary about Di’Anno that will also be published in 2026. Wes Orshoski, who co-directed and produced the critically acclaimed 2010 film “Lemmy” about the Motörhead icon and the 2015 film “The Damned: Don’t You Wish That We Were Dead” about punk rock superstars The Damned, directed the movie.
We just received news that a new Paul Di’Anno album will be released in 2026. It will be his last live album, recorded on tour in 2024. Just before Christmas, we will reveal the name of the album, the set list, the record label and the concert where the album was recorded. The album will be released only and exclusively on vinyl (talking about physical releases) in a very limited edition and pre-order will be possible. His backing band will also release an official press release for this special edition at the same time. The name of the album, the art design of the cover and the layout, as a kind of concept, will carry a special message and will make all fans very proud.
On November 21, 2024, Di’Anno was buried at the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium in Manor Park, East London, UK. Paul Andrews, better known as Di’Anno, died at home in Salisbury on October 21, 2024, at the age of 66. With permission from the late musician’s family, an official statement posted to Di’Anno‘s Facebook page on November 11, 2024, stated that the cause of death was a “tear in the sac around the heart.” Paul originally gained notoriety as the lead singer of the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden from 1978 to 1981. He was born on May 17, 1958, in Chingford, East London. He performed on both their ground-breaking “Iron Maiden” first album and “Killers” follow-up.
