"Weird Al" Yankovic announces massive 2015 'Mandatory Fun' tour

Comedian and musician "Weird Al" Yankovic had one of his best years in quite a while last year with the release of his 14th studio album Mandatory Fun which parodied popular songs such as "Happy," "Royals," Fancy," and "Blurred Lines" among others. It was the first comedy album to hit the number one spot on the Billboard albums chart since 1963.

Now Yankovic will take his return to stardom on the road in 2015 with a massive world tour. He will make a stop at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary on Thursday, June 18. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, January 30, via the venue box office and Etix for $35 to $45.

Check out the music video for the song "Word Crimes," a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," below.
