Antonio L.A. Reid, the current chairman and CEO of Epic Records and judge on the Fox singing competition alongside Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell, will not return to the panel next season, a representative for Epic Records said Thursday.

Reid joined the American version of the show in 2011 after leaving his job as chairman and CEO of Island Def Jam Music Group, where he helped launch careers for acts like Rihanna and Justin Bieber.

At Epic, his roster includes Sade, Fiona Apple, Karmin, Ciara and “X Factor” season one winner Melanie Amaro.

“The X Factor’s” current season finale is next week.
