When it comes to the original coaches who appeared on The Voice, it’s not hard to think of Adam Levine.

Having been a mentor on the NBC series since its 2011 premiere, viewers watched him help three different winners emerge on top: Javier Colon in season 1, Tessanne Chin in season 5 and Jordan Smith in season 9. He also made an impression as a coach on the show for 16 straight seasons, before he left in 2019 to pursue his own musical aspirations and spend time with loved ones.

Most recently, season 27 saw Adam’s grand return to The Voice stage as he became a coach once again. We hate to break the hearts of Adam fans everywhere, but once again, Adam Levine is leaving The Voice ahead of season 28 premiering in the fall of 2025. And even though there’s always a chance he could come back to the show for another season, he already alluded to a very good reason behind this exit.

What’s more, Adam noted there’s a lot more in store for Maroon 5 fans coming this year.

“I cannot divulge all the details, but the details are, basically, roughly, there’s a song coming, a single coming at the end of the month-ish,” he added. “I’m really excited about it. Album is coming over the summer. Non-specifically, around the summertime. And then even more non-specifically, there is a tour coming in the fall-ish.”

Well, isn’t this exciting news to share with the world? Naturally, Adam’s fans were ecstatic after seeing this piece of information online.

“Adam Levine & his guys are legends who churned out loads of classics,” one person wrote in the YouTube comments. “THE LEGENDS ARE BACK,” another shouted. “So hype for new M5 music!!” a different follower added.

Even though there isn’t much out yet about Maroon 5’s next era of music, Adam and the band did share on their official website when fans can hear them play next. The group will be performing for the Dick’s Open golf tournament, which will occur at the En-Joie Golf Course in Endicott, New York on July 11. What’s more, fans can already purchase tickets for the event online.

We’ll sure miss Adam when The Voice season 28 premieres this fall!
