‘I have some news to share with you all regarding my role as a Voice coach,’ he began.
‘I have made the decision to take a break from the best red chair on the planet.
‘It’s been six amazing years as a coach & it’s honestly been the best gig ever! I have nothing but good things to say about the show itself, & sharing the panel with such amazing coaches has been a pleasure.’

‘The best thing about the show is how positive it is & how much care and passion goes into making it a safe place for artists,’ he continued.
For me right now, it’s time to focus more on my core, which is writing and performing new music.
I am busy planning shows in Australia & worldwide & I am really looking forward to getting out and connecting with you all there.
For too long now, I have been reading comments from you asking when I will be visiting your town/country & it’s high time I come and visit!
I’ve worked on this upcoming album for four years & I’ve poured everything I have into it, so I need to pay respect to that effort & the art I’ve created.
Whoever has the audacity to take my chair, don’t get too comfortable… I will wrestle for it back with zero dignity when I’m ready to return.
Thank you everyone, it’s been a blast & let’s keep supporting fresh Aussie talent – it’s some of the best in the world!
