Blake Shelton jokes Kelly Clarkson got Adam Levine FIRED from The Voice two years after Maroon 5 singer’s abrupt exit
BLAKE Shelton joked that Kelly Clarkson got Adam Levine FIRED from The Voice two years after Maroon 5 singer's abrupt exit.
The father of two joined the judging panel on The Voice when the show premiered on NBC in 2011 before quitting six years later.
However, Blake used his friendship with Adam to try and get Keegan on his team.
The country star said: "First of all, I happen to be buddies with the guy who wrote and sang that song, and I want you to look, for just a second, at this coaching panel.
Adam participated in a Q&A session with fans and when asked if he was interested in returning as a judge on , Adam said: "No thank you."
Another fan asked if he missed Blake, 44, who he had a memorable bromance with on the competition reality show.
Adam teasingly replied: “Who is this Blake you speak of?”
He continued: "We have that for life. Thank you to everyone who supported this long strange and amazing left turn into a place I never thought I’d go.”
The Sugar singer, who won three seasons of the show, thanked the "loyal" fans of the show as he wrote: “There’s literally no show without you guys. For me, it was time to move on. Your support has meant EVERYTHING… What an amazing ride. Thank you all so much.”
No longer appearing on the show has given Adam more time to focus on his marriage and raising his kids.
