The stars all dance to Outkast's Hey Ya and goof around dancing outside, with no hint of Chester's tragic death to come.
In a poignant moment, Chester tells Ken that he "just wants his kids to find something that they're passionate about.
"One of my kids loves sport- great. My daughters, they love music, they want to learn how to play instruments."
The 41 year old was found dead at his family home on July 20 2017.
Corden said the singer's family had the final say over the episode's airing, with the episode being on hold until now.
