Pharrell Joins ‘The Voice’ As Season 7 Coach

Pharrell recently sold his infamous Grammy’s hat for charity to none other than Arby’s, and today became the new coach on Season 7 of The Voice.

The official Twitter account and Pharrell tweeted out the news, and fans appear to be onboard with the new addition:

Why are The Voice producers so smart and Idol producers so unimaginative?! #pharrell

In February, longtime coach CeeLo announced he was leaving The Voice to work on other projects:

“I’m going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year. But yeah, I’m going to miss ‘The Voice’ too.”

Usher, who joined the show in 2012, chimed in about Pharrell joining the team:

Congratulations to my brother @Pharrell for joining #TheVoice as a new judge on Season 7. RT to show my boy some love! #Happy

While season 6 of The Voice is still underway, fans can expect to see Pharrell on the stage, and planted in the show’s signature chair very soon.
