Gotye on sex change rumors and video parodies

He quickly squashed a death rumor soon after it hit Twitter earlier this month. But is the "Somebody That I Used to Know" singer becoming…a woman?! "Apparently there's been a sex change hoax as well," Gotye told me the other day when I caught up with him in New York City. But he doesn't mind if you think he's becoming some man that you used to know. Oh? Asked if he wanted to set the story straight during this interview, the 32-year-old Belgian-Australian (real name: Wouter "Wally" De Backer) laughed, "Do I have to? Maybe it's fun keeping it open." Fun is also the gazillion or so video parodies of "Somebody That I Used to Know." "There are a bunch that I've seen that I've enjoyed," Gotye admits. "I've certainly had a good laugh at some of them.
