UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Oklahoma native and longtime coach on "The Voice" announced Tuesday that the next season of the singing competition show will be his last.
The announcement came alongside more details about the show's spring 2023 season. Chance the Rapper, Niall Horan and Kelly Clarkson will coach alongside Shelton.
“I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from ‘The Voice’ after season 23,” Shelton said. “This show has changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me."
Shelton has been with the show since it began.
"It’s been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns and I want to thank everyone at ‘The Voice’ from NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew and catering people, you are the best," he said. "It takes a lot of work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull off a live show twice a week. I’ve made lifelong bonds with Carson and every single one my fellow coaches over the years, including my wife, Gwen Stefani! I have to give a huge shoutout to the singers – the ‘Voices’ who come on this stage season after season and amaze us with their talent and a special thanks to those who chose me to be their coach. Lastly, it’s about y’all, the fans, who watch and support these artists, us coaches and everyone at ‘The Voice’ chasing their dreams. It wouldn’t happen without you!”
Battles for Season 22 of the show continue Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. on NBC.
