The recent conclusion of The Voice‘s 25th season saw contestant Asher Havon emerge victorious, leaving many viewers delighted. However, the end of one season marks the beginning of a new chapter, as fans will soon encounter with the forthcoming changes in the coaches’ lineup for the show’s 26th season, slated for fall 2024.
In an Instagram announcement this month, NBC revealed that Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani will be returning as coaches, while “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper Snoop Dogg and “Haven’t Met You Yet” hitmaker Michael Bublé are set to make their debut as coaches.
Despite fans’ enthusiasm about the aforementioned group, John Legend‘s absence from the upcoming season has stirred up curiosity among the show’s supporters. Legend, 45, has cited personal career goals as the reason behind his decision to step back from the show.
Despite the “All of Me” singer’s explanation, many fans on X (formerly Twitter) have expressed disappointment at his departure and the show’s continued evolution.
