DRUMMER Guan You from Taiwanese band Mayday finally admitted that he is going to be a daddy by year-end.

The 33-year-old married his girlfriend Wang Hsing-chih on Sunday, the bride's baby bulge was so obvious that they couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

When he spoke to reporters at the banquet, he seemed pretty excited about fatherhood.

Guan You has been asking his wife not to look at him so much, lest the baby is a girl and might grow up to look like him.

He'll be taking over the singing of the lullabies from his wife as 'she is tone-deaf'.

He has also been playing soothing classical music in his car, and selected only softer ballads from his band's repertoire.

Guan You has big plans if the baby is a boy: 'I hope to have a son so that I can teach him to play the guitar.'
