Foo Fighters join James Corden for Carpool Karaoke

Foo Fighters appear in the latest "Carpool Karaoke" skit with Late Late Show host James Corden.

The episode aired in the week of the band's ninth studio album release, Concrete and Gold, and saw them sing along to hits including "Best Of You", "Learn To Fly".

Apparently expecting some diva-ish behaviour from one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Corden asked when was the last time they were all together in the same van.

"Six days ago," Grohl responded. "It usually happens that we'll show up to an airport, they'll have three or four vans for us, and we'll all pile into one."

"You don't wanna be the one guy not in the van," drummer Taylor Hawkins said.

"If you're the one guy not in the van you know who they're talking about," guitarist Chris Shiflett joked.

Foo Fighters recently played a sold-out show at the O2 Arena, which was hit by controversy after an "unfair" ticket restriction saw hundreds of fans turned away.

A spokesman for O2 said: "At the request of the band, all tickets are being verified for tonight's show at The O2. All fans are required to show proof of ID. This does mean that some who have bought through secondary sites, including our partner StubHub, may not be able to see the show."

StubHub, who said the policity was "unfair", since confirmed that ticket-holders denied entry would be given refunds."

Security later relented and let fans without ID into the arena, however not before many - some of whom had travelled hundreds of miles to see the show - were turned away.

Foo Fighters released a statement which said: "Foo Fighters, SJM and The O2 are frustrated and saddened that despite their best efforts, tickets for last night's show at the O2 fell into the hands of unscrupulous secondary ticket agencies.

"Unfortunately, this meant a small number of fans purchasing bogus tickets from these unscrupulous outlets did not get into the sold-out show. Foo Fighters, The O2 and SJM strongly advise and sincerely hope that in the future ALL fans buy tickets only from legitimate sites to ensure they are not defrauded out of their hard-earned money."
