“He confirmed he has every intention of performing at No Doubt's upcoming Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, which kicks off May 6.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention No Doubt's return to the Sphere, but they consistently reference the year 2026, not the specific May 6 date mentioned in the claim. Since the claim specifies a date (May 6) that is not corroborated by the search results, and the search results point to a different year (2026), the claim cannot be fully corroborated. However, the general intent (performing at the Sphere) is reported by multiple sources, but the specific date is not confirmed.
