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.

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

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.
