Cee Lo Announces That He's Leaving The Voice

 

The Voice fans are going to go crazy!


Cee Lo Green announced on The Ellen Degeneres Show that he will no longer be apart of the show. The interview was on Tuesday, Feb. 18 and aired on Wednesday, Feb. 19.

"I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year. But yeah, I'm going to miss The Voice, too. I'm not coming back, guys."

When Degeneres asked if he was coming back at all, the 39 year-old singer replied, "I'm not coming back at all. I just don't want to wear out my welcome there, you know what I'm saying? I have so many other things that I want to do. I haven't released an album in four years. I'm almost done with my album."

The "Crazy" singer joined The Voice in 2011 with fellow mentors Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton. He served through seasons 1-3 and 5, but let Usher replace him on season 4. However, since he's not coming back, Usher will be sitting in for him again on season 6, which airs on Monday, Feb. 24.

Even though he's leaving The Voice, Green is still keeping himself busy. He is currently planning a tour for the spring and summer with Lionel Richie.
