After 12 years at the judge's table, he finally wanted to "put all of the speculation to rest" about his future.
"I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry," he says in a statement. "It's been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures."

His announcement only addressed part of the speculation, with rumors still swirling about whether the show will keep the other three judges: Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban, who all signed for the most recent season.
According to Access Hollywood Fox TV has declined to comment.
The current 12th season is set to conclude next week.
