Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and More to Perform on THE VOICE Finale

Superstar recording artists Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Dierks Bentley, Halsey, Marshmello and Bastille, Panic! At The Disco, Season 14 winner Brynn Cartelli and more are set to perform on the live two-hour Tuesday, Dec. 18 season finale (9-11 p.m. ET/PT) of NBC's four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice."

One of the four finalists - KENNEDY Holmes from Team Jennifer, Kirk Jay and Chris Kroeze from Team Blake, and Chevel Shepherd from Team Kelly - will be crowned the winner. The season finale will also feature special musical collaborations with the Top 4 finalists, which will be announced soon.

In addition, Season 15 coaches and award-winning vocal powerhouses Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson will team up to perform a special holiday classic, "O Holy Night."

EGOT winner and critically acclaimed, multi-platinum singer-songwriter John Legend will perform on "The Voice" stage ahead of his spring 2019 debut as a coach. He will perform his rendition of the holiday classic "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" featuring Esperanza Spalding, which is featured on his first Christmas album, "A Legendary Christmas," out now on Columbia Records.

Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley will perform his Top 10 and climbing single "Burning Man," off his #1-selling album "The Mountain."

Grammy Award-nominated, multi-platinum alternative pop maverick Halsey will perform her hit single, "Without Me," which came on the heels of the 2x platinum-certified "Eastside," with Benny Blanco and Khalid, which garnered 300 million streams worldwide in just two months.

DJ/producer Marshmello will perform his latest single, "Happier," featuring British band Bastille. The record is finding massive success on radio, including holding fast at #1 for a second consecutive week on Billboard's BDS and Mediabase/Top 40 Radio Airplay chart - a first for both artists. In addition, "Happier" hit #1 on the Alternative Radio chart and is Top 10 at Hot AC and climbing. Since its release, "Happier" has also reached #1 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Streaming Chart, the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales Chart and has one billion cumulative streams.

Grammy Award-nominated rock band Panic! At The Disco will perform a medley of "High Hopes" and "Hey Look Ma, I Made It," two hits off of their latest #1 album, "Pray for the Wicked." The platinum-selling "High Hopes" is a multi-format radio hit that is currently #1 on HOT AC Radio, Alternative Radio and Pop Radio as well as #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Hey Look Ma, I Made It" will be the band's next single off the album, and this marks their first time performing the song on national television. Following their performance on the show, Panic! At The Disco will kick off the second leg of their "Pray for the Wicked" Tour in January.

Brynn Cartelli, Season 14 winner of "The Voice," will perform her new self-penned song "Last Night's Mascara" off her forthcoming debut project arriving next year. The track follows her debut single "Walk My Way," which peaked at #2 on the all-genre iTunes Charts and has amassed over 2 million streams in the U.S. alone.

On part one of the live finale, airing Monday, Dec. 17 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT), the final four artists perform in front of coaches Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Each finalist performs three times - one new solo cover, a special duet with their coach and they also debut their first original single. One of the four artists will be a step closer to being named "The Voice." Then on part two of the live finale, airing Tuesday, Dec. 18 (9-11 p.m. ET/PT), a new winner will be crowned "The Voice."
