Taylor, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, starts August 1. His hits include “Fire and Rain” and “You’ve Got a Friend.”

Walsh, who played guitar with the Eagles, plays the week starting August 8. He’s had an extensive solo career as well, with a dozen solo albums and hit songs “Life’s Been Good” and “Rocky Mountain Way.”

Last year, Ed Sheeran had a residency on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
