Weird Al's parents found dead...
 
Appears to be a case of carbon monoxide poisoning. It would really suck to lose both of your parents at the same time.

Let's keep Weird Al in our thoughts.

That's very tragic. Very sad. My thoughts and prayers to Weird Al and his family.

The CNN article didn't say, but wasn't his dad a bigtime polka recording artist at one point?

Yup. He was a "super star" in the polka world. I have actually herd some of his work. Good stuff.

I was a mess when my dad died - I can't even begin to imagine losing both at the same time! How he was able to his show on Saturday, I don't know. God bless him...

Is it possible that he hadn't found out yet?? Didn't they pass away ON Saturday or did I not read correctly?

that really sucks. i remember seeing his parents on an mtv special he did a long time ago. they were so supportive of his crazy antics. wonder what will happen to him now.

No, that was Frankie Yankovic, who was not related ti Weird Al. Just a "weird" coincidence.

I'm saddened to hear this. He seems like a genuinely nice guy (and hella smart, too!). Saw him in concert last August and it was a great show.
