Season 28 might be Michael Bublé‘s final outing on NBC’s The Voice. The coach’s comment in the show’s latest episode, following Jazz McKenzie’s performance, has raised speculation about his potential departure. Fueling further intrigue among viewers, Bublé has yet to state the reason behind the shocking declaration.

Is Michael Bublé leaving The Voice after Season 28 and why?

Michael Bublé dropped a bombshell on The Voice Season 28 finale, leaving fans curious about the charismatic coach’s future on the singing reality show. The singer-songwriter hinted at his departure following a mesmerizing performance from one of his finalists, Jazz McKenzie.

“I wrote you last night, I told you you are the light… This is it. This is my last time here”, a seemingly emotional Bublé told McKenzie. “I leave this show, and let me tell you, Jazz McKenzie, what a way to go. You are perfect,” he added.

Michael Bublé joined The Voice during Season 26, bagging the trophy in his first season itself with Sofronio Vasquez. He followed it up with another win in Season 27 with contestant Adam David. With his third and possibly final season, Bublé is aiming for a three-peat, with two contenders, Jazz and Max Chambers.

Shocked and saddened about his possible departure, fans took to social media to voice their concerns and express their appreciation for him. However, with the singer not citing a reason for his unexpected departure, the internet is abuzz as fans come up with theories of their own.

The Voice has unveiled the coaches for Season 29, and Bublé isn’t part of the panel. Instead, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Adam Levine will be making their returns. The 29th edition of The Voice, the much-anticipated Battle of the Champions season, premieres in February 2026.
