Your support makes all the difference.Paul McCartney has joined James Corden for a bumper edition of Carpool Karaoke which sees the iconic Beatles singer return to the locations that inspired the music.
The Late Late Show host is led around Liverpool by McCartney as they tear through some of his most famous songs, including “Let It Be,” “Blackbird,” and, of course, “Drive My Car.”
Corden is treated to the ultimate magical mystery tour as he drives down “Penny Lane” with McCartney who sings the lyrics back to him while pointing out all the places mentioned in the song as well as some locations more personal to him (“My brother got married in that church!” he exclaims).
They even stop off in McCartney's childhood home - now a National Trust tourist attraction - to the surprise of fans. Inside, McCartney reels off anecdotes about his fellow Beatles members John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr before performing a rendition of Sgt. Pepper's track “When I'm Sixty-Four” on the piano.
Corden then takes McCartney to one of his old drinking spots which later turns into a buzzing hub of Beatles fans who watch McCartney perform a set including “A Hard Day's Night,” “Back in the USSR” and “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.”
The segment is capped with McCartney inviting Corden on stage with his band to perform a duet of “Hey Jude" to the bustling pub.
The Late Late Show with James Corden in London airs on Sky One and NOW TV tonight at 10pm
