Kylie Minogue quits The Voice due to career commitments

 Kylie Minogue has revealed that she has quit the Voice as a judge and will be leaving after this season has ended.

Minogue, who has been a big boost for the show after 8 million tuned in to watch her debut, is quitting because she is choosing to focus on her music. Speaking to the Sun she said that her tour and the show's shooting schedule clash.

“I’m touring later this year and the timings wouldn’t work. We started filming in November last year and I’m on tour in September, October and November this year,” she said. When pressed on whether she would stay if the auditions were pushed back she said she'd have to "think about it".

 It's been a busy week for Kylie Minogue. Having released her twelfth album, Kiss Me Once, on Monday, the singer last night played an intimate show for fans and unveiled the NSFW video to her new single 'Sexercize', before announcing a amssive UK and Ireland tour.
