People

Gallagher's manager issued a statement saying that the allegation that he broke COVID-19 protocols is "in my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth." NBC and MGM responded with the following statement: "Ryan is a talented artist, however The Voice has strict Covid protocols in place to secure a safe set for our crew, coaches and contestants. We were made aware of a breach in those protocols, and after examining the situation, and out of abundance of caution, we determined that Ryan could not participate in our Monday night show without potentially putting others at risk. Therefore, we made the difficult decision to remove Ryan from the competition."
