World of Weird Al Yankovic

I gotta ask... did this show even happen?

It probably did, since the article was posted about an hour ago, and it said that attempts to contact Al failed...so he probably didn't know till the end of the show.

I'm sure a few upcoming dates will be cancelled.

No offense to the upcoming concert goers, but I hope Al takes atleast a week off. But who knows. AL might continue to do the shows as a way for him to feel better.......

If Al does cancel shows, it's definitely understandable. He's probably not in a "weird, crazy guy" state of mind right now.

If family members were there, surely they knew how to reach Al. It says they were found at 1 pm Pacific time. How could he have not known by show time?

Scottidog,
still hoping this isn't true.

Same here. I'm keeping my hopes up till Bermuda officially tells us.

When it said that attempts to contact Al failed, that meant that attempts by newspaper reporters to contact him failed. It doesn't mean that his family couldn't reach him.

I am just appalled by this news.

Well yeah. I know that. Was anyone planning on going to this concert? If so, did you go and see it, or was it cancelled?

I don't know whether this means anything or not, but in the live performances archives, the April 9th show is not (yet?) listed. You'd think if Bermuda bothered to update the FAQ, he might have made other small updates such as this as well.

Then again, it probably didn't help that they didn't even contact the correct agency.

The site they mentioned doesn't even spell his name correctly!
