Gotye Makes Sensational Return To Music After Finally Scrubbing Last Of Body Paint Off 

THE MAN behind one of the most popular songs of the century has made a sensational return to the music industry and explained his absence in the aftermath of penning 2012 mega hit ‘Somebody I Used To Know’ to WWN.

“I was embarrassed, I couldn’t get the make up from the video off. Turning up to record in the studio looking like that? Doing a press tour? Turning up on Graham Norton? I couldn’t do it, I went into hiding,” explained Wouter André De Backer AKA Gotye.

Despite the mammoth success of his iconic song and subsequent video in which he wore full body and face paint, Gotye all but disappeared off the face of the earth during what should have been his victory lap and the beginning of an Ed Sheeran sized career spanning decades.

“It’s humiliating, I felt I couldn’t ask for help with face paint stuff. We had a wrap party for the video and I kept it on as we were partying, but the morning after in my hotel room, hot water, soap, nail brush against my skin, nothing worked,” explained Gotye, who spent the subsequent decade-plus hiding in his house, ordering various skincare products off the internet in the hope one would hold the key to cleaning his skin.

“It’s a bastard to get off, I’ll you that right now for free,” added Gotye, who after an experimental skin scraping procedure in a South Korean cosmetics clinic can show off his unblemished skin.

Finally free of his nightmare ordeal, Gotye can now focus on a new album and a brand new single.

“It’s a paired back techno cover of Mother Goose Club’s Scrub-a-dub-dub, I see it as my duty to prevent other people from painting their bodies with permanent paint, if I can save one person from my hell I’ve succeeded,” explained Gotye.
