The country music icon said he has been wrestling with the decision for a while now, and released the follow statement: “I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from The Voice after season 23. 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 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. It takes a lot of work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull off a live show twice a week.” But before we mourn the loss, let’s look at what we can enjoy about Blake’s final season. Here’s everything we know about season 23 to date.

Chance the Rapper
“I’m thrilled to join The Voice as a coach for the next season,” Chance the Rapper said. “I’m excited to help other artists get to the next level and make the most of this life-changing experience. Get ready for #teamchance.” Trae Patton/NBC Photo by Julia Reinhart/WireImage Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter and record producer Chance the Rapper will bring a fresh perspective to The Voice as a champion of ownership and creating opportunities for others in the music industry. Chance has been breaking records in the music industry since the start of his career. His third mixtape, Coloring Book, was streamed over 57 million times, debuting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and becoming the first release to chart solely on streams. Upon winning Best Rap Album, it became the first streaming-only album to win a Grammy. Chance is gearing up to release his next project, Star Line Gallery.
Niall Horan
“I’m excited to be joining this season of The Voice as a coach,” Horan said “I’m looking forward to meeting and mentoring the new crop of talent while we battle it out with the other teams!” Photo by Daniele Venturelli/Daniele Venturelli / Getty Images Horan brings a plethora of experience and a massive fan following to The Voice. A former member of One Direction, known as one of the bestselling boy bands of all time, he has toured the world and played to millions of fans in sold-out stadiums worldwide, including Wembley Arena. Horan is a storyteller at heart. His two solo albums Heartbreak Weather and 2017’s Flicker, released on Capitol Records, were critically acclaimed. The latter debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the US and produced the hit singles “This Town” and “Slow Hands.”
Kelly Clarkson
The fourth chair will see the return of Kelly Clarkson, following her season off. Kelly returns for her ninth season on The Voice. She is a four-time winner with Brynn Cartelli, Chevel Shepherd, Jake Hoot and Girl Named Tom. “I am so excited to be back with my Voice family!” Kelly said. “Let’s do this, Team Kelly!”
Who is leaving The Voice in season 23?
In addition to the aforementioned exit of Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, who was only back for one season, will not return. Season 23 will also see the departure of John Legend, who has been a regular in the big red swivel chairs since joining in 2019’s Season 16. No word on whether John is just taking a break or it’s his final season as well. We’re hoping he’s just taking some time off as his wife Chrissy Teigen should be delivering their new baby after the first of the year. When asked about John’s departure, NBC responded, “The coaches have music careers and other projects outside of The Voice, so the red chairs rotate each season. John Legend will always be part of The Voice family.” Then John told ET, “My family’s growing, I have a new album out, I’m gonna do a little bit of touring, and so it’s probably better that I take a break. We took a break last season because we had another show in our slot that the network tried—and I thought that was gonna happen this season, but it ended up that they wanted us back…but I’ll be back on The Voice, just not this coming season.”
Is there a promo for The Voice season 23?
We got our first sneak peek of The Voice season 23 during the season 22 finale. And the clip definitely shows an old vs. new theme for 2023. EW exclusively revealed the teaser that opened with Niall asking Blake, “Do you think I’ve got a chance of beating you in your final season?” Blake deadpans, “No.” Niall follows up with, “Wow. Strong words from a big man.” The next frame shows Niall helping Blake his makeup. Next, Chance the Rapper asks Kelly the same question. She responds, “A chance?” and laughs at his name. Chance follows with, “I think my biggest competition is probably Kelly, but I’m-a still win, though.”
