Michael Bublé was brought to tears while struggling to discuss his son’s cancer battle with James Corden.

Speaking on a special edition of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke, the Canadian crooner became emotional when talking about the now five-year-old Noah’s battle with cancer in 2016.

The “Haven’t Met You Yet” singer appeared as part of the special Stand Up to Cancer edition of the popular show, during which he’s asked about his son Noah’s cancer diagnosis.

Two years ago, the Grammy winner and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, revealed that their then-3-year-old son, Noah, had been diagnosed with cancer.

He told the British-born US talk show host that he thinks of his son as a real-life version of “Spider-Man” because of his brave fight. Noah is currently in remission.

“I say to him, ‘Spider-Man is amazing, but they are fake, they are not real. You are my hero, you are my superhero’.”

“At first it was just, it is too hard to talk about. They said it wasn’t great so we took it day by day,” the singer emotionally revealed, before adding: “We had the best doctors.”

Bublé went on to confess: “I wasn’t OK. When this all started I became the strength to somehow pull us and lift us. When they got it out and chemo was done, I just fell. My wife picks me up.”

The Feeling Good singer fondly recalled: “He is five years old now and I say to him Spiderman is amazing but they are fake, they are not real. You are my hero, you are my superhero.”

Bublé’s candid confessions left James, who is a father to three, completely emotional and the pair embraced at the end of the segment.

The 15-minute Carpool sequence also contained a number of lighter moments, with Buble ordering an espresso by singing and admitted that he doesn’t like the saxophone.
