Shannon bursts out laughing when asked if his ego took a battering after fans discovered his "heartthrob" son busking with him at the Tamworth Music Festival and clambered for the apprentice builder's autograph.
"I think the heartthrob days for me are long gone," grins the proud dad, whose fans call him Nollsy, in an exclusive interview with Woman's Day.
"I'm just trying to hold onto a bit of something. He can take over that mantle for sure. He's just starting out, so he's not expecting big things at the moment, but he obviously has hopes and dreams. I'm really proud of him."
Fans were treated to the father-son duo performing an impromptu gig, busking on the street, at the famed country music festival in January - with Blake, 20, getting his first taste of what it's like to be a rock star like his dad. "I signed a couple of autographs, which was a first for me," he sheepishly admits. "It was surprising. I was packing up some gear at the side of the stage when some ladies came up, which caught me by surprise. I didn't know what to say, and yes, I forgot to get their numbers! I haven't received that sort of attention before."
