New Kids on the Block Reunion

[PirateLover]

Well I guess Jordan Knight is hardup for cash. Do you remember when VH1 had a show a few years back where this guy went to all these old groups and tried to get them to reunite for one show? The catch was every member had to say yes. I'm pretty sure that Jordan was the only one who said no when they did New Kids.

New Kids On The Block Stage Comeback

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.

Like, OMG! I actually remember that special. Jordan actually said yes. They couldn't get Danny to say yes to it. I guess he has come lucrative producing career now. I thought Jonathan would say no since he had so many problems after the group originally broke up. I think I read he sells real estate in the Boston area now.

Oh well...I think I might actually go see them in a reunion. I never had the chance to see them when they were big (wow, that takes me back to fourth grade...).

I think I'm waiting more for that N'Sync reunion...

You're right! I think I was confusing that with Jordan being on the Surreal Life and talking about how he wanted to move on and really get a solo career going.

I'm really surprised Jonathan has agreed to this. I've seen him on a few programs throughout the years (Oprah comes to mind) and he has a severe anxiety problem, which is why he quit in the first place.

[ncscgirl2005]

Can't wait to see this. Right Stuff and Please Don't Go Girl are still my jams!

[mickey&missy]

OMG! This totally takes me back to 8th grade! Me and my best friend went to a New Kids concert at Giant Stadium! Can you believe they played in Giant Stadium?!

[brewcrew26]

Can't wait to see this. Right Stuff and Please Don't Go Girl are still my jams!

Was there like a song called Calendar Girl that Joey sang? Loved that song!! I think Step By Step was the first CD my mom let me go out and buy.

I wonder if they come back to tour if it would all be 25-40-year-olds in the audience? I can't imagine with all the Hannah Montana and HSM craze that tweens would want to go see NKOTB unless their parents made them.

I remember that. He also had a lot of difficulty doing the interview 4 or 5 years ago when VH1 did that Bands Reunited tv show. I wish they'd bring back that show.

I cannot tell you how old I felt reading this. When I loved NKOTB, i was 13 and they were teen boys, now they are grown men pushing middle age amd I will be 33. When the oldies station starts playing their songs, please humanely shoot me.

[Disneyatic]

I have to admit that if they come to my city, I will go
I had the biggest crush on Jordan and that was my first concert ever to go to.

Doesn't it seem funny to call them New Kids on the Block, when they are all in their 30's and up!
They'll probably go by NKOTB, but it's still a funny visual!

I think I'm waiting more for that N'Sync reunion...

I am SO with you on this, my dirty little secret is an obsession with N'Sync! But I have a feeling that Justin wouldn't okay a reunion.
When they were in the height of their fame, my friends and I travelled all over watching their shows and hunting them
That was many moons ago when I had nothing better to do with my time or money though!

[PirateLover]

I would also love an *//\\// SYNC reunion hah!
Well now the denials are starting... Danny released this statement:

"Hello to everyone. Hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the New Year. I wanted to address the rumors of the NKOTB Reunion Tour. There has been no talk of this and you are getting it from source directly. Never say never, and you can't believe everything you read.

On another note my solo record will be released in Australia in March. There are a few new songs on it and I hope you guys will check it out. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Dwood"

[Dracula766]

This is horrible news!!!

I almost want to

[NotaGeek]

I read the following on PerezHilton.com:

Danny Wood just sent out the following bulletin to all his MySpace friends:

"Hello to everyone. Hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the New Year. I wanted to address the rumors of the NKOTB Reunion Tour. There has been no talk of this and you are getting it from source directly. Never say never, and you can't believe everything you read.

Okay, it's time to come out of hiding NKOTB fans. I know you're out there.

They're all grown up. We're all grown up. But who here was a fan? Who was your favorite kid? And how do you feel about the reunion?

Personally, I'm more excited about their reunion than I will admit to my "real life" friends. I fully intended on going to their Chicago concert but it sold out before I could do anything about it.

Well now that I've completely embarassed myself, I'll wait for other NKOTB fans to come out of the closet.

[JanetMegan]

When is it they are going to be singing on tv? Is that in a couple weeks?

I was (still am) a HUGE fan I Jordan!

[Melanie]

When is it they are going to be singing on tv? Is that in a couple weeks?

TODAY Janet (on the Today show)!

[Melanie]

It's pouring!

The medley of old songs is a little odd IMO, coming from almost 40 year olds. I guess they have to please the masses.

[JanetMegan]

Dang it, I hope they put it online, I missed it!
