Tyler Golden/NBC Shelton announced last year that he would depart the series after 24 seasons. Clarkson, who previously served as coach between seasons 14 and 21, will also depart ahead of season 24, as will Chance the Rapper. Clarkson's departure comes amid allegations from current and former employees of her eponymous talk show that producers fostered a toxic workplace environment, though employees clarified that Clarkson herself did not engage in the toxic behavior and claimed she had "no clue" about the issues at hand. The host issued a statement in response and voiced a commitment to creating and maintaining a "safe and healthy environment" on the show. Production of her show is set to move to New York in the fall. The Voice season 24 will premiere sometime in the fall. The current season 23 live show will kick off tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT with a two-hour semi-final as the top eight artists square off to impress the coaches. As previously reported, Adam Levine is also set to return to The Voice stage for a season 23 finale performance of "Middle Ground," his new single with band Maroon 5.
