The Rolling Stones declined James Corden’s invitation for 'Carpool Karaoke'



James Corden asked the Rolling Stones to join in the fun of the “Carpool Karaoke” segment of his “Late Late Show,” but was disappointed at their response.

The Rolling Stones reportedly decided that it would be too “embarrassing” for the popular rock band to appear on Carpool Karaoke, so they turned down Corden’s invitation.

In the past, Corden has rocked his audience with the likes of Lady Gaga, current First Lady Michelle Obama and Adele taking a turn in the car. As reported by Metro, due to the popularity of the segment, James is probably not used to getting a negative response to his invitation, especially from fellow Brits.

Reportedly the iconic band’s record label, Polydor, leaned on them to appear on the show, but the Rolling Stones, made up of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, politely declined. The Mirror did a pretty impressive bit of Photoshop on the idea,though.



Reportedly a source stated that James and the show’s team were hoping to have the veteran rockers on the show as part of the promo for their new album, but there was no luck. The show’s producer, Ben Winston, had previously said that having the band on Carpool Karaoke would be "amazing" and that they would be "dream" guests. However, Richards, particularly, was against the idea, but the whole band apparently though it would be embarrassing for them to be singing along to their own music as the cameras rolled. 

It seems that sometimes you just can’t get no satisfaction. For those who haven't seen the show, it turns out the Red Hot Chili Peppers were quite happy to appear. Watch the fun below.
