As The Inquisitr reported in August, OneRepublic’s Tedder joined The Voice as a consultant for coach Adam Levine.
The OneRepublic frontman was to help Levine during the battle rounds, when the coaches pit the contestants on their team against each other on a boxing ring-like stage, after which one of the two goes home.
Tedder is not only a singer but has collaborated with several big names in the music industry, including Adele, Demi Lovato, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, and other well known artists.
