Given the comments, it sounds like fans were really happy to see Adam Levine back in the chair for The Voice. Funny enough, he actually has Blake Shelton’s old chair this season. Levine has said he “felt like it was time” for him to return to the show after leaving in 2019, and so many clearly agree.

ET on NBC Adam Levine's return to The Voice was a matter of timing. Speaking with PEOPLE at a junket ahead of the season 27 premiere of the singing competition show, the Maroon 5 frontman detailed his time away from the show — and revealed the reason behind his return.

The Voice stage was set. The chairs were turned. And the battle for musical supremacy began—just another night on The Voice, where dreams are made, voices are discovered, and coaches will do just about anything to win over a talented artist.
