The season nine “The Voice” coaching panel will mirror that of season seven. Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell and Gwen Stefani will fill the series’ four red chairs.
Prior to this week, all returns but Stefani’s had been considered a given. A Wednesday morning announcement made the No Doubt frontwoman’s return to the show official.
“I’m coming back and am so excited,” says Stefani. “I can’t believe I get to return to ‘The Voice.’ It’s so inspiring to be around such incredible talent and music. I’m looking forward to working again with Adam, Blake and Pharrell. I love those guys.”
Carson Daly will return as host for the ninth season, which premieres in September.
“With such an astounding group of coaches at the peak of their musical ingenuity and Carson returning as our host, we are thrilled for what season nine will bring,” said NBC’s Paul Telegdy. “The expertise and camaraderie of this panel will provide an immeasurable experience for the artists and must-see entertainment for all who are watching.”
