will be a big one! NBC announced on Tuesday that the upcoming season, set to debut in 2023, will be OG coach Blake Shelton's final go-round in the infamous spinning chairs.«I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from after season 23,» Shelton said in a statement. «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  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.

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.
