Coldplay Invites James Corden Onstage for His Birthday, Perform Amazing Prince Tribute

The 'Late Late Show' paid tribute to Prince with the band.

James Corden had an early birthday celebration when he joined Coldplay onstage during their Sunday show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

The Late Late Show host, who turned 38 on Monday, paid tribute to Prince when he helped the band perform "Nothing Compares 2 U," a song the late musician wrote for Sinead O'Connor. "We're here at the Rose Bowl. I'll be honest, I didn't know how big it was when I said, 'yes,'" Corden quipped. "I'm a little nervous, but thanks to the four of you on behalf of this audience ...for this incredible night that you have given us all."

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin added, "This next one goes out to Prince everybody. It's very important."
