And current coaches Chance, Kelly, Niall and Blake will each sing with their final artists.

Blake and Adam started out the show together in 2011 and had a fierce rivalry/fun bromance for 16 seasons until Adam abruptly left the competition. “For me, it was time to move on,” he stated at the time. Adam’s parting words to Blake were: “I couldn’t hide my love for you if I tried. Seriously. I tried. Can’t do it. Our friendship is and always will be one for the books. Whatever this whole surreal experience was, Im just happy I got to experience it with you. You’re my brother for life.”
