Keith Urban Joins ‘The Voice’ as Mentor

Keith Urban is joining the U.S. version of The Voice.

The Ripcord star, who has previously starred as a coach and a judge on the Australian version of the singing format, will become a “mega mentor” on Season 25 of the NBC series.

Urban will join coaches Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, John Legend and Reba McEntire to mentor the remaining artists on the show, which kicked off its latest season in February.

The teams are now preparing for the knock out rounds, having got through the battle rounds.

It comes ahead of Urban’s latest record, which is coming out later this year.

Urban was a coach on the first season of The Voice Australia in 2011, alongside Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem but left ahead of season two and was replaced by Ricky Martin. He returned for season 10, replacing Boy George, alongside Jessica Mauboy, Guy Sebastian and Rita Ora, but left ahead of season 12.

The Voice is produced by MGM Television, Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, and ITV Studios. It was created by John de Mol, who serves as an executive producer along with Mark Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Amanda Zucker, Kyra Thompson, Adam H. Sher, and Barry Poznick.
