"Will Young has confirmed that he missed out on joining The Voice UK. The &amp;#039;Jealousy&amp;#039; star was widely expected to join Jessie J and will.i.am as a coach on the BBC&amp;#039;s new singing competition.   Jessie J herself appeared to confirm his involvement, telling a tabloid newspaper that she is pleased to be a fan of who she will work with. Earlier today, the BBC announced that Tom Jones and The Script singer Danny O&amp;#039;Donoghue will judge alongside Jessie J and will.i.am.    Following his fans&amp;#039; disappointed reaction, Young tweeted that he lost the role due to the decision to hire someone &amp;quot;more rock&amp;quot; than himself. &amp;quot;The voice came, the voice went. They wanted to go more rock... Should have dusted off my Leather jacket! Hey ho, (sic)&amp;quot; he said, before adding: &amp;quot;Hang on... Just got jimmy page on the Line. I&amp;#039;m commiserating him.&amp;quot; In what could be a tweet related to the news, Young last night lamented: &amp;quot;Words escape me. Life is sometimes a bitch.&amp;quot; The Voice UK is expected to air in the spring. &amp;gt; Black Eyed Peas&amp;#039; will.i.am confirmed as second coach on &amp;#039;The Voice UK&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
