\n\t\u201cWeird Al\u201d Yankovic doesn\u2019t know exactly where he is at the moment. But that\u2019s understandable considering he played 75 concerts in the U.S. and Canada last year, and booked another 95 this year. \u201cI\u2019m in Saskatoon,\u201d he tells Rolling Stone<\/em> via Zoom from the back of his tour bus. \u201cWe\u2019re halfway between wherever I was last night and wherever I\u2019m going to be tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s a rare off day, so he headed to the movies to see Coyote vs. Acme<\/em>, and otherwise rested. The 66-year-old needs to conserve his energy since his show stretches past the two-hour mark every night, and he\u2019s moving practically the entire time, often in cumbersome costumes. Once it ends, he poses for photographs with fans who purchased VIP tickets. The exact number varies each night, but it\u2019s not uncommon for Yankovic to spend an additional two hours grinning for the camera as a procession of his most passionate devotees wait in line for their big moment.<\/p>\n \n\tThe tour will end Oct. 17 with a show at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, but then he\u2019ll have a mere 14 days to prepare for a special event at L.A.\u2019s Greek Theater<\/a> celebrating his 1989 cult classic film, UHF.<\/em> The movie will be screened along with an orchestra performing the score, before Yankovic takes the stage with some surprise guests for a Q&A.<\/p>\n \n\tWe spoke to Yankovic about his life on the road, possible plans for future tours, his upcoming UHF <\/em>celebration, the status of his Broadway musical Dare to Be Stupid<\/em>, and why we\u2019re unlikely to see sequels to UHF<\/em> or Weird<\/em> \u2014 even though there is a script for the latter.<\/p>\n \n
