Keith Richards, Yungblud, Ronnie Wood, Roger Daltrey, Sting, Alice, Cooper, Rod Stewart, Linda Perry, Billy Idol, John Waters & More Unite To Reclaim the Legacy of Rock and Punk Legend Eddie Cochran.

“Don’t Forget Me” is the first fully authorised documentary on rock and roll trailblazer Eddie Cochran, produced by Oscar and BAFTA-winning Goldfinch Entertainment and featuring an extraordinary collection of music and entertainment legends assembled on film. 

 Sixty-five years after Cochran’s tragic death at age 21, the documentary marks a defining moment in music history, featuring exclusive on-camera interviews filmed for this documentary with some of the most influential names in music and entertainment. The lineup includes Keith Richards, Yungblud, Ronnie Wood, Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, Kiefer Sutherland, Sting, John Waters, Billy Idol, Linda Perry, Peter Frampton, Brian Setzer, Suzi Quatro, Stephen Sanchez and members of the Cochran family. The film blends these interviews with rare, never-before-seen archival material and dramatic recreations, introducing Jack Harris as Eddie Cochran and featuring Frances Barber as his mother, Alice Cochran, tracing Cochran’s meteoric rise, pioneering sound, and lasting impact on music.

Cochran’s music shaped generations, inspiring icons across all genres from The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix to The Who and the Sex Pistols, and continues to influence today’s leading musicians. Five of his songs have been covered over 500 times by legendary artists including The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Jack White, Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, The Who, the Sex Pistols and T. Rex. 

 Created in partnership with the Cochran Family Estate and supported by Universal Music Enterprises, the documentary captures the enduring impact of Cochran’s music. Director Kirsty Bell said “It has been the deepest honor to be entrusted by Eddie Cochran’s family to tell his story. His life burned fast and bright, but the ripples of his sound reached across oceans and decades, shaping the very language of rock and roll. ‘Don’t Forget Me’ is not just the title of this film. It is Eddie’s own plea, echoed in autograph books and in the lives he touched. My hope is to bring him vividly back into the world’s consciousness, to remind us not only of what we lost, but of the brilliance he gave.”

 The documentary is produced by Ben Charles Edwards, with executive producers Phil McKenzie, Michelle Arnusch, Rick French, Peter Bradley Jnr, and Bruce Resnikoff, President of Universal Music Enterprises. Associate producer Sarah Poole.
