Carpool Karaoke, James Corden appeared to address backlash he has received over the course of the series.Taking place on Monday (April 24), the British comedian, actor and television host shared the final episode of his popular segment Carpool Karaoke, which featured Adele driving him around as they sang along to a number of her songs.Held just days before he brought The Late Late Show to an end (April 27), the conversion took a more emotional turn than usual, and saw both Adele and Corden tearfully discuss recent hardships they have faced.In the segment, Adele recalled what had inspired her song ‘I Drink Wine’ — stating that it was written following a vacation with Corden in January 2020, shortly after her split from husband Simon Koncheki.“It was the first year that I felt like I had to hold myself accountable for just being an adult.

When the year before that, I had left Simon and stuff like that,” she explained. “You and [your wife] Jules and the kids were so integral in looking after me… You used to do it with humour as well.”It was at this point that Corden shared his own meaning behind what the song meant to him, and hinted towards the recent controversy regarding his behaviour.“I remember I said to you on the way home, ‘What’s wrong?

You just seem down.’ And you just let it all out to me,” Adele said, discussing the time Corden opened up to her towards the end of the trip. “We were having, what, a six-hour conversation about it?

The whole way home.”The actor chimed in, explaining that his low mood at the time was caused by “work stuff”, as well as “the internet, and all those things.”“I felt so unsafe with you feeling unsafe,” she added.
