Daily Mail Australia understands the network has approached several Grammy winners to appear on the Aussie talent show.

The likes of Alicia Keys, Bebe Rexha, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera, all of whom have appeared on the U.S. series, are among the names being considered. 

They will join Rita Ora, Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian, who are tipped to return.

It comes after Keith revealed he’d decided to put his family first by scaling back his work commitments.

‘I actually don’t think of it as the end of a chapter at all because I love doing the show,’ he told The Sunday Telegraph earlier this month.

‘I love the fact that those last two seasons happened and were able to happen for me because I had a blast doing it. I feel very close to everybody on the set and hopefully the door can stay open because I would jump back in a heartbeat.

‘Much like The Voice in America has x amount of coaches come and go depending what their schedules are, I would love to hope that The Voice might afford me that opportunity as well.’

He said he was trying to balance his schedule with wife Nicole Kidman so they could take their children to visit their grandparents and extended family for the holidays.

Keith will start his tour of Australia on December 1 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.
