When The Voice saw its time slot move to this coming fall, it seems a serious wrench was thrown into the works for coach Cee Lo Green‘s planned Loberace show in Las Vegas. Yesterday the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino announced that Green’s glittery extravaganza has been pushed back from its August 29 start date to February 2013.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to be among the great music legends who have had a Las Vegas residency and I was very much looking forward to launching Loberace this year,” Cee Lo said in a statement. “But as we move into the third season of The Voice, with my dedicated commitment to the filming schedule and love for my role on the show, I will need to postpone the opening of Loberace to early 2013.”

Juggling the shooting schedule for the upcoming third season of The Voice in Los Angeles with performing a series of shows in Las Vegas obviously proved to be quite a logistical impossibility for Green.

He continued in his statement, “Most importantly, to all my fans who have already purchased tickets, please accept my sincerest apology and I hope you can still join me in Vegas next year, so I can properly and finally introduce you to my brainchild.”

The Hollywood Reporter notes that Loberace’s new dates stretch from late February 2013 to April 13. Meanwhile, this morning The Voice received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Show Competition.
