It’s going to be really strange when Blake Shelton leaves “The Voice,” but his time on the series almost ended long before he officially pulled the plug. During an appearance on “Today,” Shelton and his co-stars spoke about various topics, including Shelton’s planned exit from the series. The “God’s Country” singer explained to Carson Daly that he considered ending his coaching career a few years earlier. “I think I was close to calling it a day right when COVID hit,” Shelton confessed. “And then because of COVID I didn’t want to walk away from the show and leave everybody in a bind. I mean this show changed my life, I mean I’ll stay here until the world kind of gets back to normal again.”
Even though Shelton has made the tough decision to leave the series, he still spoke about how much it meant to him to be a part of something so special. “I met my wife on this show; it’s changed my life in every possible way it can,” he said. “This has been incredible, but it’s time. It’s time for not even for what’s next… a little bit of nothing would be nice.”
