Adam Levine addressed his decision to leave “The Voice” in an Instagram post on Friday, saying “it was time to move on” after 16 seasons on the singing competition show.
An hour earlier, Carson Daly broke the news on “Today” show that Levine would be leaving.
Just two weeks ago today, NBC announced to media that Levine would be returning for the fall installment, Season 17, as would Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton. But Levine had been talking on set for a while about leaving the singing competition show, a network insider tells TheWrap.
Gwen Stefani is set to replace the Maroon 5 frontman on this fall’s run of the hit singing competition.
