As the news was developing last night, “Late Late Show” host James Corden took a few minutes out of his regular taping to address the horrific terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in his home country.

The bombing in Manchester, England, killed 22 and left scores more injured.

“It shocks me every time we hear this sort of news, that attacks like this can happen, and especially when there will be so many children at this concert tonight,” Corden said in a somber message recorded after taping on Tuesday show wrapped. “…When I think of Manchester, the place that I know, I think of the spirit of the people there, and I’m telling you: a more tight-knit group of people you will be hard-pressed to find.”

“Strong, proud, caring people with community at its core, and if it was even possible, the spirit of the people of Manchester will grow even stronger this evening.”
