Blake Shelton returns to The Voice Season 25 finale after 23 years of being the coach
The Grammy-nominated artist has coached numerous artists throughout his tenure of 23 seasons at The Voice. He has made it clear that his comeback would require the OG coaches to be assembled. Although not fully possible, it’s still being partially fulfilled at the Season 25 finale of The Voice.
“If they ever brought the four of us back who started it off, I might do one more season,” he told Entertainment Tonight last month. “It might be interesting,” he added, emphasizing how fun it would be for him
Shelton also reiterated to ET that he doesn’t feel left out and has never missed the job as a coach. He explained: “I needed a break because if I wasn’t fully invested, it wouldn’t be fair to my team.” He expressed his concerns, stating, “These artists need someone who is fighting for them.”
