WEIRD explores “every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle,” according to a press release. “WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story takes audiences on a truly unbelievable journey through Yankovic’s life and career, from gifted child prodigy to the greatest musical legend of all time.”
Recently, “Weird Al” kicked off The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Ill-Advised Vanity tour, a six-month trip across the U.S. with over 100 stops. You can grab tickets here.
