Guy Sebastian says he didn\u2019t have time to miss being a coach on The Voice because if he grieved \u201cthe best show to film\u201d for too long, he would have \u201chated\u201d his decision to step away.<\/p>\n

The music superstar announced he was leaving the singing show in October 2024 after six years in the red chair so he could put all his energy into putting out his new album, 100 Times Around The Sun.<\/p>\n

After four years, the album was finally released on Friday along with the news that he will once again be touring around Australia and will perform in Perth on May 15.<\/p>\n

Sebastian said he will, in fact, miss The Voice when it airs on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what I\u2019ll miss? When it goes to air and I\u2019m watching, I\u2019ll see Ronan (Keating), who\u2019s taken my spot, and I\u2019ll be like, damn you little Irishman. He\u2019s taken the spot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t really have the time to sit there and grieve too much, because if I were twiddling my thumbs, I would have hated my decision because it is honestly the best show to film.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I would, of course, naturally miss, but I didn\u2019t really have the time to, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so fun to film, and I find it very easy to do, except for the long hours; some of the days are 16 hours long, and you\u2019re exhausted. But beyond that, just the actual work itself is, I find it really enjoyable. I think, mainly because it\u2019s so positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve got this sweet little soft spot for it, just because I did it during COVID-19. And it was at a time when people were at home, and they just felt crap. And here\u2019s this show that\u2019s positive, and tells the story of everyday people who have this gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Battle Scars singer hinted at a return to our screens, which he would be \u201cannouncing soon\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t necessarily like TV I\u2019ve done before, but yeah, I\u2019ll announce something soon, it\u2019s a bit more musical related, and not anything even remotely close to being as cumbersome and time consuming as The Voice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot doing The Voice opens opportunities like that up as well, just random little stints on other shows and the ability to just explore stuff that I normally wouldn\u2019t be able to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his TV exit allowing for more time on his hands, Sebastian said he felt lucky to have his 10th album out in the world, where he was \u201csinging the best I\u2019ve ever sung\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel lucky. I probably should feel old because I\u2019ve been doing it for over 20 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Much of the 13 track record was written all over the place in Bali, LA and Nashville, but mostly inside his Sydney studio he claimed was the \u201cbest studio ever\u201d.<\/p>\n

Not only is he singing his best, but the star has never smelled better, thanks to his new men\u2019s fragrance available to fans on Thursday at Chemist Warehouse.<\/p>\n

Sebastian, who is obsessed with smelling good, has created the scent called Ive, named after his dad, who has been struggling with his health recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always remember when he would leave for work, and the thing that would linger would be my dad\u2019s smell, and he was really known for always smelling good, and he dressed so cool,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sebastian, who already has a women\u2019s perfume, wanted to make something for men that was sophisticated but affordable.<\/p>\n

He described the scent as having a bit of spice, tobacco and leather.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can just go to town and spray heaps on in the morning, or if they\u2019re going out at night somewhere special, or whatever,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s affordable, and yet it smells like something that you\u2019re paying a lot more for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guy Sebastian says he didn\u2019t have time to miss being a coach on The Voice because if he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,10466,134,136],"class_list":["post-50086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-gossip","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
