The Voice announced Monday that Gwen Stefani won’t be back for Season 18.

In her place will be Nick Jonas, an announcement he made earlier in the day on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Who will be back for Season 18?

Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.

Nick’s been a guest in the past on The Voice, both as a performer and a mentor.

You might recall that he was Christina Aguilera’s battle round adviser back in Season 8.

He’s also been involved in “Songland,” the new NBC song-writing show that premiered over the summer.

Said Nick is a press release announcing the news: “I’m so excited to be a part of ‘The Voice’ family,” said Jonas. “It’s such an awesome group of individuals, and I can’t wait to help these artists really build and hone in to find their unique voices.”
