Shelton announced last year that he would depart after 24 seasons on the show. "I've been wrestling with this for a while and I've decided that it's time for me to step away," the country crooner, who has eight wins under his belt, said. "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."
For his final season, Shelton has been up against returning coach Kelly Clarkson and newcomers Chance the Rapper and Niall Horan and their respective teams.
Levine departed the show back in 2019. He previously told Ellen DeGeneres on her eponymous talk show that while he really does miss his time there, "I also don't miss how much I had to work," he said. "I was just constantly working for so many years. Very lucky, very fortunate, very blessed, and all that, but just to be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever."
Earlier this year, Levine had the following response to pal Shelton's departure: "It's about time!"
