Rapper Cee Lo Green says the reason he decided to leave singing reality show 'The Voice' was because of the workload.
The 'Crazy' hit-maker announced that he would not return to the singing competition in February for its seventh season, reported Us Magazine.
"It easily and quickly became a job," the 40-year-old said.
"Very, very obligating. Taxing and tiring. I still tip my hat to Adam Levine and Blake Shelton and those guys who continuously do it, but I think I ran my course there just naturally.
"Amicably, we parted ways. I've got some very great memories there. It really has everything to do with me having the leverage to go elsewhere and be a success as well," Green said.
Pharrell Williams will replace Green as a coach on the competition, alongside Levine, Usher, and fellow new recruit Gwen Stefani.
