Sheryl Crow recently shared that she was offered a chance to be one of the original coaches on The Voice, but ultimately decided to pass on the opportunity.
Sheryl Crow revealed the detail during an interview with PEOPLE. The Grammy-winning singer explained that at the time, the opportunity didn’t fit her lifestyle. She was more focused on raising her young children.
“I had a newborn and did not want to move back to L.A.,” she explained. “Actually, that’s not true. He [son Levi] was about 2 years old, and I didn’t want to move back to L.A. and so I didn’t do it.
As we know, the role ended up going to Christina Aguilera, who joined Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and CeeLo Green for the show’s debut season. Looking back, Crow says she has no regrets.
“And I have not really entertained it since then because we have a busy life here and normalcy is really lovely.”
However, she hasn’t completely ruled out being part of the show. The “Soak Up the Sun” singer ended up appearing during Season 4 of the singing competition as a Mega Mentor.
And most recently, Crow has been announced as one of The Voice’s Season 27 Mega Mentors. Joining her will be fellow artist LeAnn Rimes.

On Monday, April 14, NBC announced that the two superstars will be stepping in as the show’s Mega Mentors.
Crow will be joining Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé to guide their teams as the playoff rounds begin on April 28. Meanwhile, LeAnn Rimes will work with John Legend and Adam Levine’s teams.
This is only the second time in the show’s history that two Mega Mentors have been in the same season.
It’s definitely going to be exciting to see the expert advice Crow brings to the competition, especially with all the insight she has from building her own long and successful music career!
