Blake Shelton Doesn't Miss 'The Voice', Planned Earlier Exit

Shelton's departure from the show was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; he took home the iconic red chair as a keepsake.

Blake Shelton, the longest-serving coach on 'The Voice', stated in a recent interview that he doesn't miss the show and had planned to leave earlier than his 23-season tenure.
Shelton revealed that he had intended to leave around the 20th or 21st season, but the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic made him stay longer.
He stated that he didn't want to leave the show in the midst of the pandemic, causing a scramble to replace him, so he stayed longer than he had initially planned.
Despite his extended stay, Shelton has fond memories of the show, particularly as it introduced him to his wife, fellow coach Gwen Stefani.
As a keepsake from the show, Shelton took home the iconic big red chair, which was sent to his home in Oklahoma.
