Blake Shelton Shares Bittersweet Message From 'The Voice' Chair

The country singer will bid the show farewell after this season.

Although The Voice Season 23 only started earlier this month, Blake Shelton, who has been a coach on the show since the beginning, is already getting emotional about his upcoming departure from the series.

The country singer shared a photo of himself in the iconic red chair on Instagram, along with a message that has fans feeling bittersweet.

The star wrote in the caption, "Man, I'm really going to miss this chair #TeamBlake #TheVoice."

Shelton's fans shared how much they are going to miss him in the comments, saying things like, "it wont be the same without you 😭❤️," and "We’re going to miss you being super cute, funny, and entertaining each week. #TheVoice #TeamBlake forever ❤️."

Others tried to convince the star to stay, with one writing, "Then come out of retirement already."

Another tried to appeal to Shelton by referencing the business side of things, commenting, "Blake ratings WILL go down if you leave, please stay man. Do it for the fans."

Some also stated that they won't be watching The Voice without Shelton on it, and one suggested, "Maybe the chair should be a gift to you!"

At the end of December, Shelton revealed that he would be leaving The Voice after Season 23 with a heartfelt message, saying, "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."

He went on to thank the cast and crew, his fellow judges, the singers, and the fans for everything over the last decade.

But, of course, Shelton is having as much fun as he can during his last run on The Voice, with the 46-year-old jokingly reminding everyone about how significant Season 23 is, annoying his co-judges, Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan, and Chance the Rapper.

Shelton's humor and charm are just a few of the things that will be missed when he leaves The Voice after the end of Season 23.
