Michael Bublé on Carpool Karaoke for 'Stand Up To Cancer'

Award-Winning artist Michael Bublé joins night time television host, James Corden, for “Carpool Karaoke”. The two performers clearly have a great time singing Bublé’s songs together while they drive around L.A. The pair also tackled the deep conversation of Bublés son’s cancer diagnosis and how it affected his family.


Michael Bublé is known as a modern-day crooner sharing talent with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby, to name just a few. He has a love of the classic American jazz standards and much of his personal work reflects a similar musical styling.

Joining James Corden for a “greatest Buble hits sing-a-long” the performers smiled and laughed their way through favorites such as “Everything” and “It’s a Beautiful Day”. Hysterically the pair decide to test the vocal projection strength of Bublé to order a coffee across a parking lot. And it worked! (Don’t worry, the show made sure to pay later!) Their laughter and enjoyment was so infectious! And let’s not forget James Corden’s dad who played the saxophone so brilliantly! But there was still a deeper topic to discuss.

When Bublés 3-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer, he took a multiple-year hiatus from his musical career. Now that his son is in remission, the singer has returned to his music but his perspective on what’s important has changed. No longer concerned about the superficial, Bublé is focused on the joy of music and finding happiness in the moments. And he’s using his story to help others. When Corden asked him to share a little bit about the last few years’ cancer battle, Bublé was brutally honest.

“It’s so hard to acknowledge it because it’s so painful to talk about. Obviously, we got the diagnosis and that was it man, my whole life ended...”

Tearing up, Bublé continues “...I’m not ok. My wife honestly, when this all started I became the strength to somehow pull us and lift us...and when the chemo was done, and they said ‘we did it, it’s good, he’s ok.’ I fell. I just fell. My wife picks me up now.” Hearing Michael talk about something that has impacted so many lives and to speak so intimately about his experience is truly important. Perhaps others out there who have battled with cancer in their families will be encouraged by his openness. As he shared, his family surrounded them and it’s clear they worked to find the joy in the moment.

Bublé has teamed up with the organization “Stand Up To Cancer” to join in the fight against cancer and raise money for further education and seeking a cure.
