Singer Hozier has revealed that he admires his father and has taken on many of his traits over the years. 

In honour of Father's Day, which falls on June 21, the 'Take Me To Church' star explained that his own music preferences were influenced by his dad and they also have similar hair:

"If it wasn't my dad's passion for music or the blues -- I received much of my tastes from his record collection -- it would be his hair. We have a similar follicle endowment: hair that grows outward, thickly and wildly, with a mind of its own. I'm in no danger of going bald."

Hozier, meanwhile, recently spoke to Britain's The Guardian newspaper about accidentally sharing his phone number and confessed 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."
