Personal Life
Alfred Matthew Yankovich was born in Downey, California on October 29, 1959, he he grew up in Lynnwood California. He attended California Polytechnic State University. Weird Al later married Suzanne Krajewski in 2001. He's a Christian and he is a vegan. He got his name from fellow classmates who nicknamed him that he later took up that name as a artist.
His parents died from carbon monoxide April 9 2004. He had a concert that night and he continued it to comfort himself through his music and give himself time to stop crying.
His parody "Amish Paradise" was never officially got permission to make the parody of "gangstas paradise". However they talked it out and Coolio let it go and Weird Al later commented "I don’t remember what we said to each other exactly, but it was all very friendly. I doubt I’ll be invited to Coolio’s next birthday party, but at least I can stop wearing that bulletproof vest to the mall."
He has been portrayed as weird by the media and he is a weird person. I don't think that he has ever produced anything that affected rock and roll in a major way though he has made parodies of rock and roll songs.
