Buble, 50, is best known for his Christmas song which blast out every year during the festive period.

One posted: “They defrosted Michael Buble earlier this year.”
A second wrote: “I don’t understand why Michael Bublé is singing this particular song at this particular time.”
A third commented: “Ok. Buble is bringing it.”
