The Voice will welcome back Shakira and Usher for season six. The two coaches will sit alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton starting Monday, Feb. 24 when The Voice returns to NBC.

Usher and Shakira are replacing Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera who served as judges for The Voice seasons one, two, three and five.

The Voice closed out season five on Tuesday, Dec. 17, crowning Tessanne Chin as its latest champion. Chin was on Team Adam, disrupting Shelton's three-season streak. The last time one of Levine's contestants won was in season one when Javier Colon took home the prize.

The Voice season five finale featured performances by Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, OneRepublic and Ne-Yo. Chin performed with Dion and took to Twitter after the performance to thank the superstar.

"Absolutely speechless Miss @celinedion thank you for making my dream Come true :) you are even more amazing in person!!! It was an honour:)," Chin tweeted.

When Shakira announced she would not return for season five of The Voice, she attributed it to the hectic schedule.

"It was a hard decision for me to make, because I'm really fond of the coaches, the people in production and everybody around me," she told E! News. "And I really enjoyed The Voice, but I also have a musical career and I'm also a mother now and my poor baby's so tired flying such long distances. He already has more miles than any pilot. So I think I have to give him a little break, and we'll see what happens in the future."

The Voice returns with a two-night premiere on Monday, Feb. 24 and Tuesday, Feb. 25 on NBC.
