Paul Di’Anno’s friend and manager, Stjepan Juras, has announced the upcoming release of his new book on the former Iron Maiden singer, who passed away on October 21, 2024.
This book will be printed in the same number of copies as the first edition (666). The name of each buyer will be listed individually on the inside cover of the book. Each book will come with the author’s signature and hand numbering. You can purchase the book via PayPal or with credit and debit cards. Due for release this spring, you can pre-order now, here.
The book “To Hell And Back With The Beast (and Mini Beast)” is the long-awaited sequel to “666 Days With The Beast,” which sold out very quickly and left Paul Di’Anno’s fans in awe. Demand for this book is very high, but the print run will not increase and will remain strictly limited (666). That means it will be sold out very soon again.
In this book, we dive into the most turbulent period of Paul’s career, including the joint tour with KK Priest, sharing stories from that tour that you’ve never had the chance to hear before—stories that almost led to Paul’s concerts being canceled in Birmingham and Glasgow. Thankfully, the tour went ahead in full and ended triumphantly at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. It was followed by a return to Croatia for rehabilitation and a concert at the legendary Boogaloo club in Zagreb, where Paul ‘settled’ old debts from 2009 with fans who were left disappointed back then. A major comeback tour in the UK followed, describing both triumph and disaster, including stories that will leave no one indifferent and, for the first time, reveal completely transparent details about what happened behind the scenes during the sold-out UK tour, and the immense effort it took to keep it going. You’ll also experience firsthand the major conflicts before the Winterstorm festival and after the concert in Blackpool, as well as the controversies that arose at the Weston-super-Mare concert.
Following that, there was a major European tour filled with so many twists and controversies that it’s a miracle everything ended as planned. During this tour, a pivotal moment occurred in Amsterdam when Paul faced a terrifying ‘prophecy’ that haunted and terrified him until the end of his life, and which ultimately came true. A scandal at the Athens concert led to the cancellation of his Australian tour, while in Germany, we witnessed a public verbal attack on his former band, Architects of Chaoz. Another scandal occurred in Turin, Italy, this time involving drug-related issues, which nearly caused me to leave the tour and part ways with Paul, as I never tolerated or allowed any drug use near me. The final sold-out concert in Paris ended in controversy from statements made on stage, leaving many in shock.
Then came Australia, which was so controversial that it made the news in Australian mainstream media and reached global headlines. You’ll read about the story of going to Australia with shock and disbelief, as you’ll never have the chance to read anything like this anywhere else. The story is so shocking that I’ve learned I’m not the only one writing a book about Paul’s journey in Australia—another version of the story will be told from a different perspective, which greatly excites me because you’ll get to hear this shocking tale not just from me, but from another viewpoint as well. After that, there’s the story of the highly successful tour in Chile and everything that happened on that journey, followed by tales from Uruguay and Paraguay, and a story from Argentina that took place exactly one year ago today and is considered by many chroniclers as one of the most shocking stories in rock and roll history. And indeed, it’s so shocking and scandalous that I still can’t believe it happened. After that come the very sad days when my father waited for me to return from the tour so he could see me one last time before he passed away. A very sad and deeply personal event that breaks me every time I think about it. If the first book shocked you, the second one will knock you to the ground. In this book, I have bared my soul and allowed you to see the stories through my eyes. – Stjepan Juras
