Michael Buble recently teased that he has considered retiring from music following his son Noah's cancer battle.

But the singer shows no sign of falling out of love with music as he takes part in a Carpool Karaoke special for Stand Up To Cancer UK's fundraising campaign.

Channel 4 have released the first look at the fun, musical segment which will air in full on Friday, which sees the hitmaker joining James Corden for a singalong.

Michael Buble Carpool Karaoke for Stand Up To Cancer

It's absolutely impossible not to smile watching this... Watch the full Michael Buble Carpool Karaoke Special for Stand Up To Cancer UK, this Friday from 7pm on Channel 4 (Carpool Karaoke courtesy of CBS Broadcasting Inc.)

Posted by Channel 4 on Monday, 22 October 2018

In the preview, the pair gave passionate renditions of Haven't Met You Yet as well as It's A Beautiful Day, even going so far as to sing along with the trumpet solos.

Buble, who is set to release his new album Love in November, sang his heart out alongside the Late Late Show host for the charity special which is close to his heart.

Earlier this month Buble explained that the heartache he endured following his son's cancer diagnosis at just three years old changed his 'perception of life', as he admitted that he is now done with fame.

Noah, now five, is currently in remission following his battle with liver cancer, but the ordeal has been life-changing for Buble, who has since questioned his career in showbusiness.

Buble is married to Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato, 31, and they share three children together; their eldest son Noah, son Elias, two, and daughter Vida, whom they welcomed two months ago.

Both he and Luisana put their careers on hold to be there for their son - they jetted to the US so Noah could undergo treatment for hepatoblastoma.

Speaking in what he claimed to be his "last interview" with Daily Mail's Weekend magazine earlier this month, he admitted: "It's been such a difficult exercise. It hurts me, and it hurts to talk about Noah because it's not my story to tell, it's his.

"But my whole being's changed. My perception of life. I don't know if I can even get through this conversation without crying. And I've never lost control of my emotions in public.

"I actually thought I'd never come back to the music business. I never fell out of love with music, I just needed to put it aside.

"What was hard was going to the store to buy hot dogs and toilet paper, going to the gas station. Going for a walk by the sea to clear my head.

"Everyone recognises me and says, 'How's your son?' When you think you're close to getting over it you're sucked right back into it. But at the same time I was given faith in humanity.

"The media helped me, they weren't disrespectful. And in those two years my record company never asked me what the plan was. They said, 'We love you and we're praying for you.'"

But he also admitted: "I'd lost the joy and at some point just before the Brits I was starting to lose the plot. I'd become desperate to hold onto something I thought I might be losing, and I thought I had to do something special to keep it.

"I'd started to do things out of my comfort zone, like presenting, and the truth is it had been a while since I'd been having fun. I'd started to worry about ticket sales for my tours, what the critics said, what the perception of me might be.

"But the diagnosis made me realise how stupid I'd been to worry about these unimportant things. I was embarrassed by my ego, that it had allowed this insecurity.

"And I decided I'd never read my name again in print, never read a review, and I never have. I decided I'd never use social media again, and I never have."
