Boken bærer tittelen ‘Iron Maiden: Infinite Dreams – The Official Visual History‘ (Thames & Hudson), og er slik jeg forstår det basert på bilder.

«A magnificent visual celebration of the first 50 years of Iron Maiden, this new book chronicles the evolution of heavy metal’s most prestigious band, with unparalleled input from band members and management.

A truly spectacular and beautiful book, featuring never-before-seen items and photographs, which have been curated with enormous attention to detail over a number of years, it celebrates one of Britain’s most influential and biggest-selling bands, who have become arguably the biggest metal band in the world.
Organized chronologically, Iron Maiden: Infinite Dreams tells the story of the band from their first pub gigs in 1975 and their first record deal in 1979, through the recording and reception of groundbreaking albums, including their self-titled debut, 1982’s global breakthrough The Number of the Beast and the stadium-conquering Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, to 2021’s hugely acclaimed double-album Senjutsu and the forthcoming Run For Your Lives World Tour.»

«The book traces the evolution of their iconic Eddie mascot, alongside exclusive comments from his creator Derek Riggs, and documents the band’s spectacular and complex stage productions and extensive live tours, including the Somewhere Back in Time World Tour of 2008, which made international headlines as Bruce Dickinson piloted the band’s very own Ed Force One 757.»

Filmen er i likhet med boken planlagt sluppet til høsten. Det er ikke avslørt tittel ennå.

«The documentary film is an emotional journey through the history of Iron Maiden, told from the perspective of the band and some of their most loyal followers, featuring exclusive interviews with former and current band members, including the final interview with original singer Paul Di’Anno, who sadly passed away last year. We can look forward to never-before-seen footage, and of course the iconic mascot Eddie, brought to life through spectacular animation. This will definitely be a highlight that no Maiden fan should miss!»
