Duncan Toombs, Beau Shearer, Tori Darke & Brad Butcher Knocked Out Of 'The Voice'

Last night (13 October) was a rough night on The Voice, with all the show’s remaining country artists – Duncan Toombs, Beau Shearer, and the newly formed duo of Tori Darke & Brad Butcher – eliminated from the competition.

The singers reached the Knockouts round—The Voice Australia’s quarter-finals—and just missed out on making next week’s semi-finals.

Tori Darke & Brad Butcher were placed in the Showdown (sing-off with other contestants) after delivering a minute-long rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain. After that performance, they both sang solo – Darke sang Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood, and Butcher sang I Remember Everything by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves – before being eliminated.

During the Knockouts, 16-year-old Beau Shearer performed Wake Me Up by Avicii, and Duncan Toombs performed Human by Rag ‘N’ Bone Man. Neither of them made it past the Showdown.

Toombs, Darke and Butcher were on LeAnn Rimes’ team, while Shearer was on Guy Sebastian’s team.

Since last night’s episode, all four contestants have taken to social media to thank fans for their support and write about their experiences on The Voice.

Toombs said:

So overwhelmed with beautiful messages from everyone. This journey and your kind words have truly filled my heart. I’ve never been more determined or focused to keep following my heart down this road of singing and songwriting. I’m planning to release some brand new original music very soon and start playing shows of my own around our beautiful country. I’d love you to come with me on this journey and walk this road together.

And that’s a wrap on the voice 2024 for me. Thanks to my “Team Guy” mates and all the other talented friends I’ve made along the way, can’t wait to see ya all again. Thanks to my knockout partner @jaydinshingletonmusic for being a great opponent!
Can’t wait to see what happens in the semis and finals now! It’s a harder choice at the top! I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this competition and met some amazingly talented people who I am lucky to call mates. It’s not the end of my journey but, only the start.

Butcher added:

When Katie and the girls first told me they had signed me up to audition for The Voice I was apprehensive, I actually flat out said no and I didn’t want to do it. Seeing how excited the girls were about the possibility of being on television and Hudson’s chance to meet Guy Sebastian was too much for me to argue with.
As my experience wraps up I can tell you I enjoyed it from start to finish and it pushed me to places I wouldn’t ever have gone. I’m very grateful to my girls for signing me and up and thank you to the entire Voice Crew for the love and care shown to all of us behind the scenes.
A huge thanks to all those I have met with of course a special mention to Tori for your friendship and working so hard on the songs with me and then to Leann for challenging me and trusting me but also for helping guide us through to be our best. You’re a gem!
Good luck to all those still in the running and thank you to all of you at home for your kind messages of support.

Returning to @thevoiceau this year honestly was terrifying and a big risk to take.
If I’ve learn anything from my time on The Voice it’s that anything worth having is worth the risk, it’s a fight and a hustle. I am so proud of myself for really stepping out of my comfort zone in more ways than one this year.
I’ve grown so much as an artist and a person. Thank you to the incredible team on at the voice who took care of us on and off screen. You are all amazing.
@leannrimes for being a ray of light and believing in me and my potential to do more. I’m so grateful for you.
@bradbutcher_music mate… I love ya my friend I feel so grateful to have been on this journey with you and I’m so excited to see what we can do in the future.
My family and friends for their endless support, My amazing hubby for being my biggest fan and always believing I can do anything I love and adore you so much.
2025 I’m coming for you, look out.

The Voice Australia will continue on Channel 7 and 7plus next Sunday, 20 October.
