The Voice will welcome back Shakira and Usher for season six. The two coaches will sit alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton starting Monday, Feb. 24 when The Voice returns to NBC.
Usher and Shakira are replacing CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera who served as judges for The Voice seasons one, two, three and five.
The Voice closed out season five on Tuesday, Dec. 17, crowning Tessanne Chin as its latest champion. Chin was on Team Adam, disrupting Shelton's three-season streak. The last time one of Levine's contestants won was in season one when Javier Colon took home the prize.
When Shakira announced she would not return for season five of The Voice, she attributed it to the hectic schedule.
"It was a hard decision for me to make, because I'm really fond of the coaches, the people in production and everybody around me," she told E! News. "And I really enjoyed The Voice, but I also have a musical career and I'm also a mother now and my poor baby's so tired flying such long distances. He already has more miles than any pilot. So I think I have to give him a little break, and we'll see what happens in the future."
The Voice returns with a two-night premiere on Monday, Feb. 24 and Tuesday, Feb. 25 on NBC.
