'Take Me To Church' hitmaker Hozier has revealed that when he accidentally revealed his phone number on Twitter recently, he was overwhelmed by the nice messages and touching calls he received as he expected the situation to be quite stressful.

Speaking to Britain's The Guardian newspaper about the incident, the musician admitted that it was a 'strange experience' but a really lovely one:

"At the time I was, and I still am, jarred by people's excitement at seeing me or talking to me. Most of the phone calls were very sweet; it was people who were going about their day who had a spare few minutes and thought it was a hoax, but rang and got through and were pleasantly surprised."

"I got a lot of voicemails of people changing the lyrics to my songs and just singing them at me, sending their own little messages. It was a very strange experience, this fandom that I wouldn't normally be aware of."
