A new live album featuring former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno’s August 2024 set at the Stonedead festival in Newark-on-Trent, England will be released in 2026. The effort was recorded “less than two months before his death.”

The following statement was issued:

“Dear fans. Less than a month ago, we announced that the last Paul Di’Anno live album would be released in 2026, recorded on his last UK tour, specifically at the Stonedead Festival in 2024, less than two months before his death.

We would like to thank the promoter Chris Sumby who gave us the audio files for free and made it possible for this album to finally see the light of day.

Paul’s Norwegian backing band, together with the producers and the record label, is working diligently on this project, whose name and cover page we decided to reveal in the first months of 2026. At the same time, the record label will be announced, and in the meantime, Henrik Haugsnes Kaupang, Paul’s drummer, made a video in which he explains their motivations for releasing this album.

We listened to your wishes and although the plan was to release only strictly unlimited vinyl, there will also be a smaller amount of CDs for sale for fans and collectors who want it. All of Paul’s rights and royalties arising from this album will, of course, be passed on to his legal heir.

We wish you all pleasant holidays and a happy New Year. These days, the long-awaited third book from ‘The Beast’ trilogy entitled ‘The Last Days Of The Beast’ will be published, which you can order at www.maidencroatia.com.”
