Singer-songwriter and key Instagram influencer Grady Tattoo has claimed, to the surprise of everyone on the little-read music blog 'Whoops, there goes the neighbourhood!', that Irish crooner Daniel O'Donnell was a key influence on his singing style.
Known for his two biggest hits, 'Roses and Thorns', and 'Cliches are in Every Sentence', the heavily-tattooed heavy metal musician said that the Irish singer was often on his mum's CD player, and alongside Cliff Richard and Roger Whittaker, the dulcet tones of O'Donnell fed into Tattoo's style.
'I often find myself listening to the music that first got me into this game,' said Grady, speaking on Instagram, 'and Daniel O'Donnell is never far from my CD player. Of course, I won't admit to that, as I want the kids to think that I am one of the cool ones.'
