THE VOICE: CeeLo Green to Exit

CeeLo Green has finished his run on THE VOICE he and NBC announced.

“I’m officially announcing today that I won’t be returning as a coach on THE VOICE cycle 7 in the fall,” Green said in a statement. “There are numerous reasons that led to this decision, which has been amicably reached with NBC, but I’m excited to be developing several other ideas with the network and my association with NBC remains strong. THE VOICE has been an immensely enjoyable experience for me and I can only hope I have enriched the lives of our viewers, the contestants, and the many friends I made there. I will always be there in spirit.

“Meanwhile, NBC and I plan to continue our relationship with several new co-ventures including a new music show, while we also explore our ideas for me to create and host a new show of my own. I will not go quietly into the night… expect more great music and entertainment done in my own unique unmistakable and undeniable way. And THE VOICE has given me all the altitude and incentive to do just that. Thanks for the memories and make way for many more!”

NBC president of alternative and late night programming, Paul Telegdy echoed Green’s comments in his own statement.

“CeeLo Green has been an instrumental part of the success of THE VOICE and we deeply appreciate all his contributions,” Telegdy said. “We’re looking forward to working with him on other upcoming projects that will tap into both his musical and entertainment expertise.”
