New superstars join The Voice judging panel… including an Aussie favourite
The Seven Network has locked in three major international pop stars for the new season of The Voice, which will launch later this year.
Award-winning country artist LeAnn Rimes, Queen frontman and ex-Idol alumni Adam Lambert, and platinum-selling, Eurovision star Kate Miller-Heidke will join Guy Sebastian on the voting panel. Sonia Kruger, the busiest woman in Australian television, returns as host.
“I am incredibly honoured and excited to embrace the opportunity of coaching on The Voice,” Rimes said.
“This special chance to mentor and discover new voices throughout Australia is a reflection of the love and support I’ve received from my Australian fans throughout my career. I look forward to returning the love, sharing my experiences, and hearing fresh, promising talent.”
Lambert adds he is “thrilled to be joining the panel of The Voice this season”
“I have such great memories in Australia and can’t wait to spend some time down under! Australia has contributed some iconic talents and artists to pop culture, it’ll be fun to coach the next generation of talent.
“You can expect some killer song selections, fashion fashion fashion, and of course, a win for Team Adam!”
Kate Miller-Heidke said: “I am so excited to be joining The Voice, and to sit on the panel alongside these incredible singers. The art and craft of singing has been at the centre of my life and I feel like I have learned some things that might be of help to young or inexperienced performers.
“I’ll be looking for people with the soul of an artist; people with something to say; who make you lean in and want to know more about them. And I’m really looking forward to getting to know the other coaches. Bring it on!”
The new season of The Voice will premiere later this year on Channel 7 and 7plus.
