James relished singing along with the pop icon and dressed up in Beatles outfits including one from the Sgt. Pepper’s era, one that harked back to band’s mop-top beginnings in the early 60s and in gear from their later hippy days.

The first tour on the pair’s magical mystery tour was Penny Lane, prompting a duet of the classic.

Paul pointed out that he used to sing in St Barnabas Church choir, the same church in which his brother was married, and he popped into the barbers featured in the song.

During a rendition of Let It Be James broke down in tears as he remembered his late granddad and dad playing him the song.

Frontman Dave Grohl exclusively told The Sun how James text him after reading the reports but insisted the band’s words had been misinterpreted.

He said: “I had to text him back and was like, ‘No dude, that’s not what we meant.’

“What we were trying to say was it was uncomfortable to sit in a car and try to sing our own songs.

“If we were singing Queen songs or Led Zeppelin songs or Beatles songs, it would have been fine. But to sit there and sing your own songs . . . we felt weird about it.

Dave Grohl said it did not feel right to be singing their own songs on Carpool Karaoke, rather than Led Zeppelin’s or Queen’s

“I don’t drive around Los Angeles singing to my own songs. So when we said it was an uncomfortable experience . . .

“I felt so bad when it came out in the press — ‘Foo Fighters had a terrible time, they hated the whole f***ing thing’. We didn’t. He’s such a sweet guy.”
