He's one of my all-time favorite singers. I own every CD. His concert in Merrillville, IN in 2008 was the first concert I ever attended; a high bar I'm still not sure any have cleared. Although relatively quiet on the new music front later, Al has still been a steady fixture in pop culture, with the 2022 biopic, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird:_The_Al_Yankovic_Story">Weird: The Al Yankovic Story</a>, being an instant sensation, as well as <a href="https://y105music.com/lisa-whelchel-collectors-call-metv-interview/">making an appearance on MeTV's</a> <a href="https://y105music.com/lisa-whelchel-collectors-call-metv-interview/">Collector's Call</a>.To the delight of many, Al announced last week that he would be hitting the road again for his "<a href="https://www.weirdal.com/tour/">Bigger &amp; Weirder Tour</a>." Although not set to kick off until June 2025, Al is setting the bar high with what he teased on his Instagram today:<blockquote>We’re back to doing a full-production high-energy show and playing the hits… and we’re super-sizing the band for this one - adding 4 more musicians! - so we can play a few things we’ve never been able to play live before! And our opening act will be the amazing Puddles Pity Party. This show is gonna be INSANE! - "Weird Al" Yankovic, per <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DARGw-IPPl7/?hl=en">Instagram</a></blockquote>When I read this, I couldn't head to his website fast enough to see the dates.
