Exciting news for fans of the "The Voice" as season 9 will again feature the judges fans have come to love.

As reported by Us Magazine, all the previous coaches of the hit reality singing competition show are set to return, except for Christina Aguilera, who plans to take some time off, so she can spend some time with her kids.

Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are reportedly excited to return and settle into their spinning chairs.

Host Carson Daly will also be returning and revealed that he knew that there will be some changes in the upcoming fall season of the "The Voice." The television personality and former host of "TRL" attributed the expected changes to the busy schedules of the judges.

He explained,  "These guys tour. They're not TV people — they're musicians first. We knew that they have to tour around the world and so, unlike other shows, we've always known that we're going to have the revolving chairs. When we can get Usher and Gwen in the mix with these guys, it's been great."

But according to Daly, fans do not have to bid farewell to Aguilera's stint in "The Voice" for good. He assured fans that Aguilera is in fact "confirmed for season 10 and has already signed her contract."

Though the singer has openly admitted about wanting to take a break and not coming back for season 9 to spend time with her family and kids, a source revealed to Us that Aguilera has "always planned to flip them so she had a season off and she is not being replaced by Gwen. She will definitely be back the next season."

Aguilera's last judging stint in "The Voice" was in season 8.

The latter part of the previous month saw viewers anxiously waiting for the announcement of season 9's return.
