No Doubt Drummer Adrian Young Talks About the Band's Residency at Sphere
Shelton said his manager booked the shows on the same nights as Stefani’s No Doubt residency debut, leaving him to miss her opening.
- Country star Blake Shelton and his wife, Gwen Stefani, launched separate Las Vegas residencies on Wednesday night. Shelton performs at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace while Stefani and No Doubt headline at the Sphere.
- During his opening performance Wednesday night, Shelton joked that his manager was a "d–khead" for booking them on identical dates, calling it "not very friendly" competition against his wife.
- No Doubt's 18-show residency at the Sphere marks the band's first extended run in nearly 14 years. The group opened their set with "Tragic Kingdom," performed live for the first time in nearly 20 years.
- Shelton is performing eight shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace through the end of the month. He acknowledged the competitive overlap, noting that "there's a big difference in selling out the Sphere and selling out Caesars."
- The couple, who married in July 2021, previously addressed split rumors earlier this year. Stefani recently shut down continued speculation by sharing social media posts with her country star husband.
