On this episode of The David Ellefson Show, David Ellefson and co-host Joshua Toomey sit down with acclaimed filmmaker Wes Orshoski to discuss his powerful new documentary Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, chronicling the life and legacy of original Iron Maiden frontman Paul Di'Anno. Wes shares how the documentary first came together, what story he set out to tell, and the many challenges and obstacles he faced while bringing Paul’s complicated journey to the screen. The conversation dives deep into Paul’s serious health struggles over the years and the emotional reunion between Paul and Steve Harris. Wes also breaks down the involvement of James Hetfield and what it took to grab time with one of metal’s biggest icons for the film. This is an incredible behind-the-scenes look at a documentary every heavy metal fan will want to see.
