This is really terrible.

I don't even know what to say..

Peanut 04-10-2004 11:03 PM

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

Kid Icarus 04-10-2004 11:14 PM

:cry:

His parents were so cool on VH1.

Best of luck to Al...

Brinatello 04-10-2004 11:18 PM

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

Hyper Metal Sonic 04-10-2004 11:18 PM

I actually saw him in concert last August.

I hope he's okay..

Machias Banshee 04-10-2004 11:33 PM

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

Halfshell 04-10-2004 11:39 PM

Amanda 04-10-2004 11:47 PM

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

ThirdMarioBro 04-10-2004 11:54 PM

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

That Matt Guy 04-11-2004 05:15 AM

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

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

The Defibrillator 04-11-2004 10:52 AM

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

Anarky 04-11-2004 10:56 AM

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

Jo Dawn 04-11-2004 11:07 AM

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

Hyper Metal Sonic 04-11-2004 11:10 AM

Hmm...

Weirdal.com isn't coming up...

Hope this doesn't mean anything...

Blaze DTGG 04-11-2004 11:23 AM

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 04-11-2004 12:27 PM

Wow. That was totally unexpected.

:roll: Its a gesture of respect...

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

"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. :(

Blaze DTGG 04-11-2004 01:19 PM

Peanut 04-11-2004 01:37 PM

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 04-11-2004 01:58 PM

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 04-11-2004 09:27 PM

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

Meeko 04-12-2004 01:00 AM

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

NO!

Dr. Doom 04-12-2004 09:51 AM

ESPECIALLY NOT RICHARDS!!!

Brinatello 04-12-2004 05:02 PM

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...

Beat me to it.

Demonfox38 04-12-2004 07:20 PM

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

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

MikeyLikesIt 04-13-2004 01:11 AM

*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 04-13-2004 02:06 PM

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

Blaze DTGG 04-13-2004 03:31 PM

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.
