John Legend gears up for The Voice semi-finals ahead of exit

Previously, the 45-year-old musician, who listed his reasons for leaving The Voice, is taking some time away from the music competition series.

Speaking exclusively to ET’s Cassie DiLaura about exiting, the longtime coach added: “We’ve always got so many things going on. I’ll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer.”

However, the legend assured: “I’ll be back… If only I were actually going to take a break!”

Although, Legend, Chance the Rapper, and Dan + Shay are set sit out the show next season, Reba McEntire is set to return with The Voice alum Gwen Stefani alongside newcomers Snoop Dogg and Michael Buble.

The Legend expressed excitement ahead of the new season, adding: “It’s exciting to incorporate some new people into The Voice family. Having Snoop here, he’s been here as a mentor before, but having him as a coach, I think is going to be a lot of fun and reinvigorate the show a bit.”

“We’ve been around for 25 seasons and part of how we continue to stay fresh is introducing new coaches to The Voice family, and I think Michael and Snoop will do really well. And I’m excited that Gwen and Reba will be back too because they’re both wonderful coaches,” he gushed.
