Keith Urban joins The Voice as Mega Mentor
On Monday, NBC announced Keith Urban will join the hit reality singing competition series starting April 8 as a mega mentor for the performers who've made it through the battle rounds as they prepare for knockouts.
The Ripcord star, who has previously starred as a coach and a judge on the Australian version of the singing format, will become a Mega Mentor on Season 25 of the NBC series.
Urban will join coaches Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay, John Legend and Reba McEntire to mentor the remaining artists on the show, which kicked off its latest season in February.
Urban was a coach on the first season of The Voice Australia in 2011, alongside Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem but left ahead of season two and was replaced by Ricky Martin. He returned for season 10, replacing Boy George, alongside Jessica Mauboy, Guy Sebastian and Rita Ora, but left ahead of season 12.
Aside from his duties on the show, Urban is gearing up to release a new album featuring his recent singles, Straight Line and Messed Up as Me. The forthcoming project will serve as a follow-up to 2020's The Speed of Now Part 1.
Last year, Urban returned to American Idol as a mentor for the show's season 21 finale after serving as a judge from seasons 12 to 15. At the time, he spoke to PEOPLE about his excitement toward working with the talented contestants.
"To be able to come in as a mentor, and play as well, is incredible," he said. "That was home for me for several seasons, and the mentoring part is probably one of the things I always enjoyed the most, getting to work with the artist one-on-one."
