Guy Sebastian has sensationally quit The Voice Australia.

The Australian Idol winner shared the lengthy shock announcement to Instagram on Wednesday evening across several black and white slides.

The 43-year old singer began by congratulating the show's current winner Reuben De Melo, before detailing how he came to his dramatic decision. 

'I have some news to share with you all regarding my role as a Voice coach,' he began.

'I have made the decision to take a break from the best red chair on the planet. 

'It's been six amazing years as a coach & it's honestly been the best gig ever! I have nothing but good things to say about the show itself, & sharing the panel with such amazing coaches has been a pleasure.'

He then went on to reflect on his time on the show.

'The best thing about the show is how positive it is & how much care and passion goes into making it a safe place for artists,' he continued.

'For me right now, it's time to focus more on my core, which is writing and performing new music.

'I am busy planning shows in Australia & worldwide & I am really looking forward to getting out and connecting with you all there.'

The Angels Brought Me Here singer concluded with chatter about his upcoming album, which he's poured his heart and soul into over the last four years, before ending with a warning. 

'Whoever has the audacity to take my chair, don't get too comfortable… I will wrestle for it back with zero dignity when I'm ready to return,' he wrote. 

Channel Seven was quick to offer their well wishes.

Seven Network Chief Content Officer, Brook Hall, said:
