The contestants on The Voice this season are in for a big treat as Ed Sheeran joins the show.
NBC Universal announced that the 30-year-old chart topper will lend his talents and expertise to the show in season 21 as a ‘mega mentor’, on Tuesday.
Ed will mentor contestants who’ve made it through the Battle Rounds with coaches Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, John Legend and Blake Shelton.

Beginning Monday, October 25, the Shivers crooner will step in to assist artists during the Knockout Rounds where contestants are paired against one of their teammates.
‘Utilizing his vast experience in songwriting, musical production and performing to provide multi-faceted mentorship, Sheeran will guide the artists in their vocal and technical choices and tailor the artists’ songs to their strengths to bolster each performance,’ NBC said in a press release.
Ed certainly knows a thing or two about musical success with four Grammy Awards under his belt and four multi-platinum albums.
To date he’s sold more than 50 million albums – a number that will likely skyrocket with the release of his upcoming album, =, out later this month. His first two singles off of =, Shivers and Bad Habits, quickly raced to the top of the charts.

This won’t be Ed’s first rodeo on The Voice. Back in season five he stepped in as a coach advisor on Christina Aguilera’s team.
Meanwhile, on this season of The Voice, the blind auditions came closer to ending Monday night.
Coaches Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande and John Legend all pulled out the stops to sign the remaining contestants they needed to complete their teams.
The episode came to a close with a powerful performance by Brittany Bree, who got all four judges to turn their chairs before choosing John Legend.

The first contestant for round 5 of the blind auditions was Ryleigh Plank, 20, from Ft. Meyers, Florida who sang ‘Anyone’ by Demi Lovato.
Ryleigh said to the camera that music was her life and helped ‘pull her out of the trenches.’ She said she didn’t have many friends, had problems with bullying and struggled with depression and anxiety.
She ultimately chose Ariana who said she was so excited to have her on her team. ‘I love Ryleigh,’ said Ariana.
Auditions for The Voice will continue Tuesday night on NBC.
