LeAnn Rimes is doubling down on her role as a coach on two international versions of The Voice. The Grammy-winning country singer is currently in Sydney, Australia filming her role as a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice Australia and on Wednesday (Feb. 21) it was announced that she will also serve the same role on the next season of The Voice UK.
“What an honor and rare opportunity it is to be asked to coach on both, The Voice Australia and The Voice UK,” Rimes said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to discovering new voices across these nations, mentoring the next generation of talent and sharing my heart, not only with these gifted vocalists, but with the Australian and UK fans. I have experienced so much love from both countries throughout my career and I look forward to deepening that connection during my time on The Voice.”
Rimes will join a coaching panel for the UK version of the reality singing show that also includes returning cast members Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, legendary British crooner Tom Jones and new coaches Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher of UK boy band McFly. For the Australian version, Rimes will sit alongside solo star and Queen singer Adam Lambert, singer Kate Miller-Heidke and returning coach “Battle Scars” singer Guy Sebastian.
The dual role news comes after the “How Do I Live” singer closed out 2023 with a holiday tour that made stops in Las Vegas, Nashville, Orlando and other cities, followed by the November release of God’s Work (Resurrected), an extended version of her 2022 record God’s Work.
