Blake Shelton is leaving the coaching chair … he says that the upcoming season of “The Voice” will be his last.
Blake made the announcement on Tuesday, explaining that he had been struggling with the idea of leaving the singing competition for some time.
As one of the longest-serving coaches, Blake says his 12 years on the NBC show have been one hell of a ride, and he thanks everyone who’s had a hand in making the twice-weekly live show happen.
Blake says he’s had lifelong relationships with a variety of people on the show, including his wife Gwen Stefani and the host Carson Daly.
BS also praises all the singers who have performed on “The Voice” during his 12 years, especially those who chose him as their coach.
Blake ends by saying that the show wouldn’t be what it is today without the fans.
No word on who will replace Blake as coach.
Stay tuned…
