John Legend has finally broken silence on leaving The Voice next season and shared his future career plans.

The longtime coach has to take next season off from the music competition show because he will be “travelling overseas.”

While sharing deets about his upcoming summer plans with ET, the Beauty and the Beast hitmaker shared, “We've always got so many things going on. I'll be doing a lot of shows this summer and traveling overseas this summer. I'll be back… If only I were actually going to take a break!"

The 45-year-old musician will be taking a break from the popular music series along with Chance the Rapper, and Dan + Shay.

Meanwhile, coach Reba McEntire will return with The Voice alum Gwen Stefani and newcomers Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé.

In the same conversation, John candidly talked about Snoop and Michael, "It's exciting to incorporate some new people into The Voice family. Having Snoop here, he's been here as a mentor before, but having him as a coach, I think is going to be a lot of fun and reinvigorate the show a bit.”

He concluded, “We've been around for 25 seasons and part of how we continue to stay fresh is introducing new coaches to The Voice family, and I think Michael and Snoop will do really well. And I'm excited that Gwen and Reba will be back too because they're both wonderful coaches."

The Voice airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
