Danny O'Donoghue confirms his departure from The Voice

“I had two wonderful seasons on The Voice and as everybody knows I gave it my heart and soul and couldn't be more proud of the show and what we have achieved,” he reflects. “My focus will be on The Script moving forward as we are about to embark on the most important part of our career as a band.”
The BBC’s Controller of Entertainment Commissioning Mark Linsey says: “Danny has been an absolute star – and a winner – on The Voice but we understand that he, like Jessie, has to focus on his music career and The Script have such an incredibly busy year ahead. The Voice coaches are all current music stars with recording and touring careers to manage alongside the show and we know this can be difficult to juggle. We are very sorry to see Danny go but wish him and the band the very best and hope they will come back and perform for us next series.”
As you’ll doubtless have read in the current issue of Hot Press, Danny and his bandmates are finding time in their busy schedules to spearhead the musical aspect of the Arthur Guinness Projects.
