Author of the book, Stjepan Juras:
The time has finally come to present to you the book ‘666 DAYS WITH THE BEAST’, which I responsibly claim is one of the most shocking, if not the most shocking book of its kind that has ever been published anywhere in the world. Legendary singer Paul Di’Anno isn’t nicknamed ‘The Beast’ for nothing. From day 1, when I saw him almost dying lying helpless on the bed of a medical vehicle in Zagreb, to the famous performance in Cart and Horses (666th day), but also after that on tour, my eyes saw a lot, my ears heard what they should and shouldn’t have, and my body felt something that almost killed me. Many times I felt elation and triumph, and just as many times I was put in a situation where I wanted to personally strangle Paul with my own hands, and I believe he wanted me too. A warm-cold, but above all honest, raw relationship brought us together in an unbreakable friendship, and on the other hand, we are each other’s pain in the ass and we say what’s on our minds to each other without batting an eye. You will see this whole story about bringing Paul back from the ‘dead’ through my eyes; you will see grueling treatments, highs and lows, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, crises and much, much more. Through my eyes, you will see the complex operation of implanting artificial bone, and brand new teeth, fundraising for all treatments, physical therapy, lymphatic drainage, living in a nursing home, forming the band Warhorse, the first live show in many years, going to an Iron Maiden concert and KISS, and you will witness first-hand all the ups and downs of a worldwide tour. Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Mexico, UK, EU, Australia, etc. You will find out first hand how Iron Maiden got involved when they also contributed to help Paul, and everyone else who contributed to make Paul better. You will feel my doubts, fears, and you will find out how I was brought to a burn out situation three times (Zagreb, Chile and Athens), where at one point I even exclaimed to Paul ‘feel free to die, I don’t care anymore!’. I’m going to tell you the story of the duplicity of record companies, of the people who remembered to be Paul’s born-again friends only when he started bringing in money, and of my own struggle with inner demons. During that entire two-year period, my wife became pregnant and we had a beautiful child who traveled the world with us and eventually walked before Paul. Despite everything, Paul has shown indomitable strength, exceptional resistance to absolutely everything, an almost insane dedication to what is his primary concern, which is music and fans. I am aware that this book will be completely different from everything I have written so far and that it will cause all kinds of reactions and disbelief. Believe me, there is no performer or band whose story is this scandalous and shocking. If you don’t want to know the truth, I advise you now, you better not buy it…
