The Voice season 28: Meet the Mega Mentors

For season 28 of The Voice, the program decided to feature two new Mega Mentors—that is, mentors who guide artists during the Knockouts round.

This season's Mega Mentors are Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band and Joe Walsh of the Eagles. Brown helps both Team Snoop Dogg and Team Michael Bublé, while Walsh offers his support to Team Reba McEntire and Team Niall Horan.

They also shared a long career in the music business. Brown has three Grammy Awards to his credit, and Walsh was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

The Mega Mentors will collaborate with the Artists to polish their performances and offer them guidance at this stage of the competition.
