Prof. Brian Cox provides a great explanation in episode 2 of his excellent TV series 'Wonders of The Universe'.
In short, many elements can only be created in the extreme conditions which exist within stars as they burn all their internal fuel and gradually 'die'. As they die, massive changes take place within stars, creating the conditions which are required to create different types of elements.
