The Dancing with the Stars finalist opens up about his bond with his dad Jim, their shared interests and passions and how they overcame hard times in the past
Singer David Whelan says he and his dad Jim have a lot of similarities, and that is why their relationship has been so crazy over the years.
"When we have an opinion and when we’re passionate about that opinion we won’t back down easily. We’re both hard workers, he has only missed one day of work in his whole life. I get my work ethic from him. "It came from a place of love from him, he was just trying to protect me from going out and doing stupid stuff.
"Me dedicating my performance to him on Dancing with the Stars has made our relationship so strong. We both have a love for music, that’s always been a common interest.
