Adam Levine has revealed whether he has any desire to return to "The Voice."
The Maroon 5 frontman, 41, has served as one of the four celebrity coaches on the singing competition show for 16 seasons total, last heading up a team of performers in 2019.
When he chose to leave, Gwen Stefani was brought back on board to fill his empty chair. She had served as a coach several times, as well as an advisor and performer.
Levine, however, doesn't seem terribly interested in coming back after dedicating eight years to the show.

"No thank you," he replied, per Us Weekly.
For his tenure on "The Voice," Levine had a playful rivalry with fellow coach Blake Shelton, who fans asked about as well.
When a fan inquired whether the pop star missed the country crooner, Levine replied, "Blake who?"

He doubled down on the joke when asked which of Shelton's albums are his favorite.
"Who is this Blake you speak of?" the "Sugar" singer joked.

"[The Voice] went on to be a life shaping experience that will be close to my heart forever," the star wrote on Instagram when his departure from the show was announced in May 2019, per Us Weekly.
"Thank you NBC for signing me up," he continued. "I am truly honored to have been a part of something I’ll always cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you to every single coach I ever sat in those chairs with. That is [a] shared experience that is singularly ours. We have that for life. Thank you to everyone who supported this long strange and amazing left turn into a place I never thought I’d go."
