Everyone say goodbye to David Hasselhoff because he's now gone. Well, part of his name has left us, anyway.

The Hoff has revealed that he's taken it upon himself to change his name (no, he won't be "The Hoff" from now on, although that would be kinda cool). He's decided to drop "Hassel" from his last name, and will now go by David Hoff.

Hoff, who already changed his name on Twitter, took to the social media website to write, "Big news today and a massive relief for me. I hope everyone can understand… it feels great!" He included a YouTube video, where he tells fans, "I've been wanting to drop the Hassel from my life for years. Now, I have made it official. David Hoff," and holds up the legal certificate to prove his name change is for real.

So without further ado, let's all give a warm welcome to David Hoff!
