Adele breaks down in tears with James Corden on last ever Carpool Karaoke as she makes emotional divorce confession
ADELE breaks down in tears as she appears as James Corden’s final Carpool Karaoke guest.
The Easy On Me, 34, singer cried as she made an emotional admission about her divorce while being comforted by The Late Late Show host.
Adele revealed that her friendship with James and his wife Julia helped her through the difficult split as they went on holiday together.
She added that a verse in one of her heartbreak anthems I Drink Wine is inspired by the support she received from the chat show host.
She explained: “[The verse] was inspired by a conversation that you and I had, and it was the 4th of January, 2020 or something, and we’d been on vacation together with the kids…”
Adele, who finalised her divorce with Simon Konecki in March 2021, two years after their split- revealed that she went on a family holiday with James, Julia, their three children, and her 10 year-old son, Angelo.
She added: “We were on our way home and my mood had changed and it was like the first year that I felt like I had to hold myself accountable, for just being an adult, whereas the year before that I left Simon, that you and Jules and the kids were so integral in looking after me and Angelo.”
The multi-million-selling artist continued: “You used to do it with humour as well, you used to be like, ‘good luck with that one!’ with any sort of thing that I was pursuing, and you were always so, you were like an adult with me, you and Julia would always give me this advice.”
It turns out it was a two-way street as the Hello singer also told how James turned to her for advice when he was going through challenges of his own.
But Adele explained that she struggled to know what to do when James confessed he was unhappy with his life in the US as his admission made her feel “unsafe”.
Talking about a six-hour conversation the pair had, James explained: ‘It was work stuff, and the Internet, and all those things.’
Adele then chipped in: “It got me thinking, I felt so unsafe, with you feeling unsafe, because you’ve always been like [the adult] you have, since I was like 21.
“And then I went to the studio a couple of weeks later, and I wrote this and I sang it into my phone and I sent it to you and I do remember you saying, “That’s exactly how I was feeling.'”
James then responded: “It was everything that I was feeling that day. I was floored by how you’d managed to take everything that I was feeling myself, and… life, and just put it in a verse.
Fighting back tears of his own, James called it a ‘privilege’ that Adele had summed up how he was feeling in one of her tracks.
The final two episodes of The Late Late Show will air on Sky Showcase on Friday 28th April at 10:15pm and 11:15pm
