Blake Shelton Clears The Air About His Exit From The Voice

According to the artist himself, Blake Shelton decided to quit “The Voice” after 12 years in order to do … nothing really. “I’ve had people say, ‘Man, come on. You’re not quitting The Voice [to do] nothing!’ But I really am,” Shelton assured People magazine in an interview. “Please, I’m accepting ideas.” More seriously, however, Shelton says he’s putting his career aside in order to focus on family. 

“If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I’m missing out on some more important things in life. For now, that’s our kids,” he explains. “I’ve made plenty of money, but you can’t buy time back. I don’t want any regrets.”

While Shelton may be ready to move on from “The Voice,” his wife and co-host Gwen Stefani got a little choked up thinking about him leaving the show. “It’s mine and Blake’s last season … I can’t even get the words out of my mouth ’cause it sucks,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
