Fans are eager to uncover the truth behind why Mor Ilderton left The Voice Season 26. As one of the standout contestants of Season 26, his decision to leave ahead of the Knockout rounds caught everyone, including his coach Gwen Stefani, by surprise. While his departure remains somewhat mysterious, hints about his next steps have left fans speculating about his future in music.
In this article, we will delve into the details of why Mor Ilderton left The Voice.
Did Mor Ilderton reveal a reason to leave The Voice?
Mor Ilderton unexpectedly left The Voice season 26 during the Knockout rounds without revealing any reason.
On the November 18 episode, Ilderton surprised viewers and his coach Gwen Stefani by stepping away before competing against Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace. Explaining the situation to Mega Mentor Sting, Stefani shared, “We had Mor, who I stole, but he had to go home, so it’s just gonna be the two of them.” (via Entertainment Weekly)
While Ilderton hasn’t directly addressed the reasons for his sudden departure, his Instagram hints at new ventures. On November 14, he teased the release of his single, Stranger, set to drop on November 22.
Accompanying a snippet of the song, he wrote, “Yo, I’m Mor!! You may know me from this season of NBC’s The Voice. If not I’m a folk artist out of WV and I’m releasing a single Nov 22nd called ‘Stranger’ and it’s the song that’s playing now! Come along on this journey with me.” (via Good Housekeeping)
Ilderton’s exit follows his standout Blind Auditions, where his emotional rendition of Dylan Gossett’s Coal earned him a rare four-chair turn. Initially on Michael Bublé’s team, he was later stolen by Stefani after a Battle round loss. His unexpected departure is the second high-profile exit in recent weeks, following Tanner Frick’s decision to leave Team Bublé before the Knockout rounds.
