However, the 44-year-old coach on The Voice has resolved to lose weight before his wedding to pop star Gwen Stefani, 51, who is also on the panel of coaches this latest season.

He recently appeared on radio show Party Barn Radio With Luke Bryan and answered candidly when asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, if he would lose 20 pounds (9kg) for his wedding.
