Blake Shelton to Depart ‘The Voice’ After Next Season
It’s been a hell of a journey through these 12 years of chair turns, and I want to thank everyone at ‘The Voice’ from NBC, every producer, every writer, every musician, every member of the crew, and every member of the catering staff, Blake Shelton added. “To pull together a live concert twice a week requires a lot of effort, dedication, and alcoholic drinks (Ha!). Over the years, I’ve formed strong relationships with all of my mentors, including Carson and my wife, Gwen Stefani.
I want to send a giant shout-out to the singers, the ‘Voices,’ who continue to astonish us with their talent season after season, and I want to thank those who have chosen me as their coach in particular. Finally, it’s about you, the viewers and supporters of “The Voice,” who cheer on the contestants, the coaches, and everyone involved with the show as they pursue their goals. Without you, this just could not occur.
