NOT A FINAL GOODBYE

The reason for the "Spaceman" singer's departure from "The Voice" has not been disclosed.

Jonas is still part of season 20 that is currently airing. He is working alongside his remaining artists to get them as far into the competition as possible,, with a winning title as the ultimate goal. New episodes air on NBC on Mondays at 8 pm ET.

CONGRATULATIONS IN ORDER

"Congrats @ArianaGrande! You’re going to kill it next season! Welcome to the family ?."

UNKNOWN EXIT

The reason for the "Spaceman" singer's departure from "The Voice" has not been disclosed. The statement released only reveals that the show is excited to have Grande on the judging panel without a reference to Jonas's exit.

Jonas will now join the group of judges-past which includes Christina Agulera, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine. Although most judges decide to move on to pursue other opportunities, Levine left because of a reported intensity between the judges.

Shakira was also seen in the swiveling red chair during the fourth and sixth season of the show but didn't return because of the difficulty that the opportunity presented for her family life as the singer has her son to think of.

The "Hips don't lie" singer was joined by Usher during the seasons that she was seen on "The Voice." He left the show without publically giving a reason but there doesn't seem to be hard feelings as he has expressed a willingness to return.
