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

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

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

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.

"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.
