Yes, Wouter "Wally" De Backer, is blind. His father, Danny 'Bolthole' De Backer was a professional smelter in South Bruges, Belgium. The family relocated to south Australia when Wouter was 2 years old. When Wouter was 6 his father began introducing him to the family trade, on his seventh birthday Wouter was attempting a delicate smelting exercise where he attempted to smelt a 1:120th replica of the statue of liberty. A splash of molten iron occurred, known in the trade as a Colombian dragonfly, and his face was covered in molten iron. After many months of facial reconstruction he resumed a normal life, albeit heavy scar tissue formation to his eyes. Soon the scar tissue totally impaired his vision and by his 10th birthday he was totally blind. Hence his stage name, Gotye.
