With the new season of 'The Voice' just days away, Michael Bublé opened up about filming the first episode and working with Snoop Dogg.

NBC Snoop Dogg found a friend in Michael Bublé. Speaking to PEOPLE in a recent cover story interview, the rapper opened up about his experience as a first-time coach on The Voice thus far — and the friendships he's made.

Michael Bublé is happy to be around on THE VOICE Season 26, which has a special mesh of coaches, unlike any previous season of the show.
