CeeLo Green Set to Tour with Lionel Richie Post-Voice

CeeLo Green may be leaving NBC's The Voice, but the singer has plenty of things on his plate to keep busy.

He will be joining Lionel Richie on tour for a slew of summer dates starting in May. And he plans on juggling several projects for NBC.

"NBC and I plan to continue our relationship with several new co-ventures including a new music show, while we also explore our ideas for me to create and host a new show of my own," Green told Ellen DeGeneresafter announcing his departure from the show. "I will not go quietly into the night ... expect more great music and entertainment done in my own unique unmistakable and undeniable way."

NBC's president of alternative and late-night programming Paul Telegdy also released a statement: "We're looking forward to working with him on other upcoming projects that will tap into both his musical and entertainment expertise."

"I don't want to wear out my welcome there. I have so many other things I want to do," Green also told DeGeneres on her show.
