NBC's Emmy Award-winning music competition series "The Voice" will feature a star-studded lineup of Coldplay, OneRepublic, Tim McGraw and Ed Sheeran for its Tuesday, May 20 season finale.
On the Monday, May 19 telecast, the final three artists representing Team Adam, Team Blake and Team Usher will perform two songs - one chosen by
America via an online poll and the other determined by their respective coach. With everything on the line, the artists are performing for America's vote to be named "The Voice."
Also on the Monday show, there will be performances by all four coaches.
Coldplay, led by the show's season six key advisor
Chris Martin, will make its "Voice" debut the day after its latest album, "Ghost Stories" (Parlophone/Atlantic Records), is released. "Ghost Stories" is Coldplay's sixth album.
The award-winning band, which formed in 1997, has sold more than 60 million copies of its five No. 1 albums. Its 2008 release, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends," was the best-selling album of the year and the disc was the Grammy Award winner for rock album of the year.
OneRepublic released its debut album "Dreaming Out Loud" in 2007. The disc included the smash single "Apologize," which shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide. The band's sophomore album, 2009's "Waking Up," produced three singles: "All the Right Moves," "Secrets" and "Good Life."
OneRepublic released its third studio album, "Native," in March 2013 where it debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The set includes hits "If I Lose Myself," "Feel Again" and "Counting Stars," which reached #1 at Top 40 radio and has sold more than 4.5 million downloads.
