Terence Patrick/CBS ©2017 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. Tonight, Foo Fighters will guest on CBS’ The Late Late show for the first time since the band’s “Carpool Karaoke” appearance last September. That might seem a little surprising, since Dave Grohl said that filming that segment was “a little uncomfortable.”
As Grohl tells U.K. tabloid The Sun, host James Corden confronted him about his comments.
“I got a f****** text from him that morning,” Grohl remembers. “He was like, ‘What the f***, dude?’ I was like, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, oh my God!'”
The rocker continues, “I had to text him back and was like, ‘No dude, that’s not what we meant.'”
Grohl clarifies that the experience of singing along to his own songs was what made it uncomfortable. If it had been Led Zeppelin or Beatles songs they were singing, he says, “it would have been fine. But to sit there and sing your own songs…we felt weird about it.”
He adds, “I felt so bad when it came out in the press. ‘Foo Fighters had a terrible time, they hated the whole f***ing thing.’ We didn’t. [Corden is] such a sweet guy.”
You can watch the Foo Fighters reunite with Corden tonight on The Late Late Show, airing 12:37 a.m. ET on CBS. The epsiode also will feature Paul McCartney taking part in a new “Carpool Karaoke” segment.
Meanwhile, Grohl is leaving the door open to collaborate with another British celebrity: Adele, who was heavily rumored to be on the latest Foo album, Concrete and Gold. Grohl’s daughter Violet is a big Adele fan, too, having recently covered the pop star’s hit “When We Were Young” during a benefit concert.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t true,” Grohl says of Adele guesting on Concrete and Gold. “But maybe next time.”
