Over the weekend, a rumor that Gotye had taken his life began circulating.  The rumor picked up steam when CNN reported it!  Gotye is fine.  CNN realized their mistake and quickly stopped the false report.

However, a member of his touring band had some fun with the rumor on twitter.

Tim Shiel said, “it saddens me to confirm the news of @gotye’s passing – he suffered cardiac arrest while flying a unicorn over a double rainbow. Don’t panic the @gotye world tour is still going ahead, with special guest Terence Trent D’Arby. Its what wally would have wanted.”

Pretty funny.
