Blake Shelton hilariously demanded "The Voice" coaches to give him retirement gifts.
Shelton shocked his fans and "The Voice" viewers when he announced last month that he would step down as a coach following the current season of the show. Instead of feeling emotional about it, he asked the show's family to give him retirement and parting gifts soon.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gwen Stefani's husband said that first-time coach Camila Cabello should buy him an ATV. The 25-year-old "Don't Go Yet" singer responded, saying Santa's budget is "tight" this year.
Meanwhile, he requested John Legend a pallet, to which the "All of Me" singer agreed.
"We split everything anyway, so whatever she buys herself," he said when asked about Stefani. His wife, on the other hand, asked him if she could redecorate their LA house.
Unfortunately, Shelton wanted the spotlight for himself for now because it is his retirement.
Blake Shelton Announces Retirement From "The Voice"
Shelton announced his retirement after being part of "The Voice" for 22 seasons, saying he had been contemplating it for a little while. He delivered the news through an Instagram post in October.
Per the musician, "The Voice" changed him in every way that it became home to him already. However, he has to step back now.
"It's been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns and I want to thank everyone at 'The Voice' from NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew and catering people, you are the best. It takes a lot of hard work, passion, and adult beverages (Ha!) to pull off a live show twice a week," he went on.
"The Voice" led him to meet his now-wife, Gwen Stefani, after the crooner joined the coaches' panel in 2014. Host Carson Daly also officiated their wedding ceremony.
Shelton started his coaching journey in 2011. At that time, he worked with the Season 1 coaches CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, and Christina Aguilera.
While he did not mention the reason behind his planned exit, he soon told Hoda Kotb during his appearance on the "TODAY" show that he wanted to focus on his family now, especially after his wedding to Stefani.
He expressed his desire to get the chance to "live some life." Thus, he decided to give up his position in "The Voice."
