'Somebody That I Used To Know' chart topper Gotye has refused to deny rumours that he used to be a woman.
The Belgian-Australian musician suggests that online gossip claiming he had a sex change before his rise to international success were a hoax - but did not deny the claims outright, cheekily suggesting it was more 'fun' to let people speculate what he had between his legs.
"Apparently there’s been a sex-change hoax as well," he said in an interview with US entertainment website E! when asked about recent rumours of his death. "Maybe it’s fun keeping it open."
In July this year, Gotye was forced to deny Twitter rumours that he had committed suicide - an internet joke that was eventually reported as fact on US news channels.
After Gotye tweeted simply "I'm not dead," his band member Tim Shiel added: "It saddens me to confirm the news of @gotye's passing - he suffered cardiac arrest while flying a unicorn over a double rainbow."
