Blake Shelton Pretty Bummed About Adam Levine Leaving ‘The Voice’

Blake Shelton and Adam Levine’s bromance was a huge fuel to the fire that propelled ‘The Voice’ to massive popularity. They were there from the beginning.

He said, “I didn’t expect Adam to pull the trigger like he did. … We all knew he was getting to the point — it was 16 seasons he had been doing the show, and it’s hard to keep him focused on anything. He was ready to move on. …”

He added, “I was pretty upset that Adam was gone.”  Blake’s girlfriend Gwen Stefani is taking his place, but the dynamic is different. He says, “I can’t go head-to-head with Gwen like that.”

For her part, Stefani will also miss having Levine on the show. “To think that he’s not going to be there, it’s bittersweet,” she said on The Talk earlier this month. “Being between him and Blake and the amount of laughter, I mean, I would have to stop and massage my face because it would hurt.”
