DISPUTED
The claim states a tour starting June 15. However, web search results provide conflicting dates: one source mentions a tour in 2026 with a stop on May 13, another mentions a 2024-25 Jazz Series date on April 24, 2025, and another mentions a 2026 tour. There is no single consistent confirmation of a 'June 15' start date across the provided evidence.
