Keith Urban's surprising response when asked to reprise his mentor role on The Voice Australia following Guy Sebastian's shock exit

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Keith Urban’s return to The Voice Australia in 2025 would be a fantastic move for both the show and its contestants. Having worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry, I’ve seen firsthand how Urban’s expertise and charm can help shape emerging artists into superstars.


It appears that Keith Urban might return to “The Voice” in 2025, following Guy Sebastian’s recent departure from the show.

The 57-year-old country superstar last took his place in the big red chair as coach two years ago.

And reports have now surfaced that Urban is open to return to the singing competition.

‘When asked about returning Keith didn’t say no,’ an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle last month.

The source added that Urban said he missed being in Australia and coaching on the show.

He also said that the star and his wife, Nicole Kidman, wanted to spend more time Down Under.

They added: ‘Additionally, there’s a major tour for Keith in Australia scheduled for next year. If everyone is able to return to the country by the time filming starts, Keith could potentially appear on the singing competition for the 4th time.’

The fan favourite is scheduled to bring his High and Alive Tour Down Under in August.

In 2012, he made his debut as a coach on The Voice, then reappeared on the same show in 2021, but eventually left it in 2022.

Following The Voice Australia, it seems that significant changes are on the horizon for the show’s lineup, as Guy Sebastian recently announced his departure from the singing contest last week.

Rumors suggest that coaches Kate Miller-Heidke and Adam Lambert may be preparing to leave their positions, following in the footsteps of the 43-year-old pop star who recently announced his departure.

Moreover, it’s been alleged that the network aims to attract past crowd favorites, including Urban, by offering them coaching positions again.

According to a source who spoke to Yahoo Lifestyle over the weekend, Channel Seven’s preferred artists for their event are Keith Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Ronan Keating, and LeAnn Rimes.

According to a source, Keith appeared receptive when queried about potentially coming back after recording his act for the final show.

The source also confirmed that US singer Rimes, 42, is likely to return in 2025.

Leading up to this year’s final episode, LeAnn’s team has been discussing details about the upcoming season and the changes she intends to make, according to an insider source.

LeAnn expressed her intent to come back the following year, and Channel Seven is eager to welcome her again, given that her artistic endeavors were successful.

It was mentioned as well that viewers might not see Kate again, as she seemed a bit uncomfortable or misfit within the program.

Currently, it can be noted that Ronan Keating, aged 47, last graced our screens on The Voice Australia in the year 2016. Subsequently, he has served as a judge for this show not only in Australia but also in the United Kingdom and Germany.

According to the source, the ex-singer from Boyzone expressed great interest in making another appearance on the Australian edition of the program.

Sebastian, meanwhile, sensationally quit The Voice Australia on Wednesday after six seasons.

The Australian Idol winner shared the announcement to Instagram.

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement! I’m currently immersed in crafting spectacular events across Australia and beyond. The anticipation of meeting each one of you is palpable, and I simply can’t wait to connect with all of you there!

Firstly, he acknowledged and praised Reuben De Melo, the present champion. Then, he proceeded to share the story behind his thrilling choice.

‘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.

For the past six fantastic years, I’ve had the privilege of being a coach, an experience that I can genuinely call the best job I’ve ever had. I only have positive remarks for the show and working alongside such exceptional colleagues has truly been a delight.

At the end of his performance, The Angels Brought Me Here artist discussed his forthcoming album, a labor of love he’s dedicated four years to, and wrapped up by issuing a caution.

He warned, “Anyone bold enough to claim my seat should remember they’re merely borrowing it. I may regain it without any grace or decorum once I come back.

Channel Seven was quick to offer their well wishes.

Brook Hall, Chief Content Officer at Seven Network, commended a coach for The Voice on Seven, stating that his guidance in artistry and leadership has been an inspiration not only to the contestants and viewers but also to the production team and everyone at Seven.
