Michael Bubl's 'Carpool Karaoke' Tribute To 'Superhero' Son Is A Real Tearjerker

Michael Bubls appearance on Carpool Karaoke was an emotional roller coaster.

The Feeling Good singer joined The Late Late Show host James Corden for a special edition of the segment for the Stand Up To Cancer telethon that aired in the United Kingdom on Friday night.

It began with Bubl amusingly using his voice projection skills to order coffee, revealing why hes bothered by saxophones and then engaging in a scat battle with Cordens father, Malcolm.

The comedy bit then took a more serious tone, however, as Corden questioned Bubl about his 5-year-old son Noahs liver cancer diagnosis in 2016 . Noah is now in remission.

My whole life ended, Bubl reflected on the time. Im not OK, he added, revealing how he now tells Noah that Spiderman and Superman are indeed amazing but that theyre fake, theyre not real. Youre a superhero. Youre my hero, my real superhero.
