[Stone Ill]

This is really terrible.

I don't even know what to say..

[Peanut]

That's so terrible. I hope this doesn't detract for poor Al's career. He's one of my favourite people. :(

[Kid Icarus]

:cry:

His parents were so cool on VH1.

Best of luck to Al...

[Brinatello]

OMG, I'm in shock over here. That's really horrible. Poor Al. :cry:

[Hyper Metal Sonic]

I actually saw him in concert last August.

I hope he's okay..

[Machias Banshee]

oh my goodness... :o *lights a candle for the Yankovic family*

[Halfshell]

does mean Al gonna change his style of music?

[Amanda]

It is sad. I hope they find out what happened. Sounds like an accident.

[ThirdMarioBro]

This is wretched. Poor Al. It's a sad day for the world.

[That Matt Guy]

Saw this earlier. They died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a fire place. Complete accident.

*lights a candle for the Yankovic family*

Heh... that really isn't appropriate, considering how they died.

[The Defibrillator]

That sucks. I saw his parents one time on the enhanced CD of "Running With Scissors."

[Anarky]

i know this might be a bit inappropriate but: who is Al?

[Jo Dawn]

Wow. That's horrible. Poor Al...

[Hyper Metal Sonic]

Hmm...

Weirdal.com isn't coming up...

Hope this doesn't mean anything...

[Blaze DTGG]

thats really unfortunate and I am sure it's hard for him. but its nice to see that his fans care. I hope he doesn't stop making music.. but i know its probably really hard for him right now.

[Voltron]

Wow. That was totally unexpected.

[Machias Banshee]

Saw this earlier. They died of carbon monoxide poisoning from a fire place. Complete accident.

*lights a candle for the Yankovic family*

Heh... that really isn't appropriate, considering how they died.


:roll: Its a gesture of respect...

[Dr. Doom]

-=Scratches head=- ....quite a shame, no? I hope Al's doing ok. I've been a fan of his since I was a kid.

[Brinatello]

i know this might be a bit inappropriate but: who is Al?"Weird" Al Yankovic is probably the most famous parodist in the music world! He takes classic songs and then changes the lyrics to hilarious craziness. The man is a genius and I was lucky to see him in concert at the Orange County Fair in July 2000. I also saw his parents on a VH-1 special and they looked like two very loving people. It's so sad to hear this news and I'll probably be in shock for a very long time. :(

[Buslady]

It is sad. I hope they find out what happened. Sounds like an accident.

they do know what happened. the flue was closed on the fireplace.


it is very sad. Al's one of my heros....

[Blaze DTGG]

yeah.. I have been listening to him since i was little. he is one of the few musicions that has stayed throught. and been able to change with the times.

[Peanut]

I've listened to Al since I was a kid too. His site won't show up. :( This make me really sad. Al can't go. :cry:

[Blaze DTGG]

yes.. I hope he keeps going..

I would hate for him to lose his laughter

[That Matt Guy]

:roll: Its a gesture of respect...

No duh. It was a joke. Deal with it.

[jeff the cheff]

I feel bad for anyone loosing family members. :( I am a fan of wierd Al too,(who isn't, you can't hate him) I especially liked his VH1 special.

[Machias Banshee]

:roll: Its a gesture of respect...

No duh. It was a joke. Deal with it.


Yeh, I know.. ;) :P

I'm sure Al will be back. It'll take time for him to mourn and to move on, but I'm sure he'll bounce back. :D

[Mars-Chan]

:o *gasps and falls into a writhing ball of green*

[Meeko]

Thats Sad Even Though ive never liked his music Its sad when anyone dies

[That Matt Guy]

Its sad when anyone dies

Even Hitler?

[Anarky]

Its sad when anyone dies

Even Hitler?

NO!

[Dr. Doom]

ESPECIALLY NOT RICHARDS!!!

[Brinatello]

I think Meeko meant it's sad when anyone good and caring dies...and that's happening far too often! Why can't bad people and criminals just drop dead? We don't need them! Yeah, I know, I'm a horrible person to say such a thing...

[Voltron]

Its sad when anyone dies

Even Hitler?

Beat me to it.

[Demonfox38]

Woah. That is some terrible news. Gawd, and on Easter weekend too!

Hope Weird Al will be able to pull through all right.

[MikeyLikesIt]

*falls down, spazzing and foaming at the mouth, screaming WTF?! repeatedly...and that's a 'why', not a 'what'* Knowing Al like I do and what brings him joy and happiness, I know that he will be able to bounce back from this horrible tragedy of losing his parents...I think (well hope, really) that I speak for all of us here when I say: "Al, if you see this in your random internet searches, please know that all of your fans are praying for and thinking of you and your family and friends at this incredibly tough time in your life. We all love you and hope that you will not lose your laughter in the face of this horrific accident. All the best Al!"

-Devoted TMNT and Weird Al fans

[Peanut]

Off topic but MikeLikesIt do you by any chance play RS3 on Xbox Live?

[Blaze DTGG]

I agree with what mikey(likesit) says. I hope that Al can bounce back and I hope he realizes how much his fans support him.
