“The best part about being back with The Voice Family is that I don’t have to deal with Blake Shelton,” Adam Levine quipped. “”I just don’t like him. So, it’s been great not having to be around him. He’s a bad friend…”

And when The Voice Season 27 premieres on February 3, there will be another one: Kelsea Ballerini, the Grammy-nominated pop singer who is making her full-time coaching debut. She’s not the only star being welcomed to the podium this go-round: Returning favorite Adam Levine will again join the coaching panel of the long-running series after a five-year absence.

He’s back! After nearly six years, Adam Levine is making his comeback to The Voice for Season 27. He’ll sit next to John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Michael Bublé on the coaches’ panel when he returns for the first time in ten seasons.
