London, be prepared to 'Eat It' – the unashamedly 'Tacky' king of musical parodies, "Weird Al" Yankovic, is heading to the capital to play a huge show at the Eventim Apollo Hammersmith. In his nearly 40-year career "Weird Al"s recorded over 150 songs – mainly silly parodies of famous tracks – and sold more than 12 million albums.
Never one to be behind musical trends, the 55-year-old comic is currently on a career high. His latest album, 'Mandatory Fun' – which parodies Pharrell Williams, Iggy Azalea and Lorde, among others – shot straight to number one on the US Billboard 200, making it the first chart-topping comedy record ever. Not bad for a frizzy-haired accordionist from California.
