Blake Shelton shocked fans of The Voice when he announced that he's leaving the show after Season 23, but his departure is no rush decision — he said the idea started brewing three years ago, but with the onset of the pandemic, he changed his mind.  Shelton says he didn't wanna walk away from the show and leave everybody in a bind. He decided to stay until the world kinda got back to normal again. He’s the only coach who’s been on The Voice for all 23 seasons
