For the past 12 years Blake Shelton has been the face of NBC’s biggest show and after one more season ole Blake is stepping away from The Voice.
The show catapulted Shelton into superstardom, breaking records and winning awards became a regular thing for him after spending well over a decade in Nashville with success but nothing near what the platform of being one of the stars of a singing competition would bring him.
The ‘Austin’ singer made the announcement on social media with a statement thanking all those involved on the show that is currently in it’s 22nd season:
“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 next season.
This show has changed my life in every way for the better and it will always feel like home to me. It’s been a hell of a ride over the last 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. It takes a lot of work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull of a live show twice a week.
I’ve made lifelong bonds with Carson and every single one of 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 who are chasing their dreams.
It would not happen without you!”

Other coaches from the show shared images of peace signs before Shelton made the announcement on social media.
The 23rd season, Shelton’s last, will begin next year.
