Some fans were disappointed to learn Gwen Stefani wouldn’t be returning for season 18 of The Voice. The eighteenth season of the American reality television series The Voice ran from February 24 to May 19, 2020, on NBC.

Fortunately, there was no drama behind her decision. According to Entertainment Tonight, the producers of the American singing competition wanted to continue its process of rotating coaches.

Gwen was also busy wrapping up her Just a Girl concert residency performed at the Zappos Theater in Las Vegas. The residency was originally scheduled to end in May 2020 but ended up concluding on February 22, 2020, due to COVID-19 and Gwen’s illness.

“I am still under the weather & will not be able to perform my #JustAGirlVegas show tomorrow, Friday, February 14 at @ZapposTheater at @PHVegas,” she tweeted on on February 14, 2020, adding that she was “so so sorry” and still planned to perform Feb. 15-22.

How many seasons has Gwen Stefani been a coach on The Voice?

Gwen was a coach on The Voice in Seasons 7, 9, 12, and 17. Since she’s been a coach four times already, we’re convinced she’ll return for another season in the future. She has never served as a coach for two successive seasons.

For the nineteenth season of the American reality television series The Voice, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend will return as coaches. It is scheduled to premiere on October 19, 2020 on NBC.
