The band is back together! Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams are returning as coaches on Season 9 of "The Voice."

Stefani, who joined the series with Pharrell in Season 7, was absent last season when long-time judge Christina Aguilera returned.

"I'm coming back and am so excited!" she said in a statement. "It's so inspiring to be around such incredible talent and music. I'm looking forward to working again with Adam, Blake and Pharrell. I love those guys." Added Shelton: "Adam, Gwen, Pharrell and I had a blast together in Season 7 and I'm excited we're back together again. They are all so talented but I'm pretty damn excited about another winning season for Team Blake."
