With any worthwhile endeavor comes hard work and sacrifice but the hardships and long hours don’t feel so heavy when you are doing it for the love of the game. Many blessings have and will come from this reunion. One most paramount is that we are able to work, stretch, fall, fight, laugh, let go and grow- and win together. In the end, its doing work we are proud of. Giving it everything you got so there are no regrets. We also happen to have a great time doing what we do. “Its like a constant cyclical interchange of emotions”…One fueling the other - The love for each other and the love for the game. 5 players never forgetting where they came from but knowing they could go all the way to the top. Nothings changed; every thing’s changed. Long live The Block!

Lots of love from a true Blockhead!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:33 am
This is so exciting for the die hard “blockheads” We’ve been waiting and praying for years. My husband and I are planning on going to NY in May. I can’t wait. I know this will be WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!

April 4th, 2008 at 1:02 am
I am ready for all the exciting things to come. You all are the most amazing people and back in the day your music got me thru so many things that now I can say it molded me to be the person I am today. I now have a daughter who is going crazy for a certain group and it brings back so many memories for me because I can totally understand what she is going thru because I was the same way. So I wanted to say Thank you for the past and I look forward to the future and all the good things to come with your reunion.
April 4th, 2008 at 1:05 am
Welcome back, enjoy!

It should be an exciting ride for all of us. Thanks Joey for kicking off the site with those words to all the fans who have been waiting so long for this!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:12 am
For years, I’ve glanced at the box in my closet with “NKOTB” written half-hazardly on the side in black sharpie. I have pulled tshirts out for “Flashback” costume parties. I’ve thumbed through thousands of posters that once graced my teenage bedroom walls. I felt like I was part of something huge….that could never be outdone. Everything comes back to me in a rush of nostalgia as I watch the old videos and the new ones.
Welcome back, guys!
Melanie
April 4th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Its great to have you guys back. We will continue to support you in anyway we can. NKOTB RULES!!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:22 am

April 4th, 2008 at 1:23 am

Guys- thank you for coming back! I keep telling my husband, THESE are my BEATLES!! Except my Beatles are getting back together! I was thirteen when I was somewhat obsessed with you, and now at thirty I have a screaming teenager inside jumping up and down at the news that you will be back on. I have to be at work today during the Today Show appearance, but have my Tivo set! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Beth
April 4th, 2008 at 2:02 am

I’ve waited far too long for this news. I may be over 30, but I’m giddy like a 13 year old again.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:09 am
Brazil loves you so much!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Hi guys,
Just wanted to say ‘it’s about time!!!!’….and thank you for reuniting! I became a fan at 11 years old and have followed your careers from a distance (England) ever since. Have been waiting for this day for a long time and i know you won’t be a let down! All our lives have changed, I’m now 30, engaged with a 5 month old baby girl, and you guys have all moved on too..however the child in me is still on the edge of her seat, heart in her mouth and desperate to get back on the best roller coaster thrill ride ever. Our love for you has always remained, thank you for making our dreams come true…again!! Can’t wait for the tour.
Boo x x
April 4th, 2008 at 2:17 am

So good to see you reunited… Please please come to visit us in Europe and especially in France! We’ll be there !
xxxx
April 4th, 2008 at 2:34 am
You do not know how excited you have made the 25-35 year old women in the world! I have so many memories of sitting around with my childhood best friend (and she still is my best friend). Talking, dancing, singing–every word!–, daydreaming, collecting, etc… My pre-teen years are filled with these memories. My mom still has my old stuff packed away. I never got the chance to go to one of your concerts, but I’ve made my husband promise to take me this time around. He’s laughing at me talking all excited like a 12 year old! LOL Now a new generation gets a taste of how it was. But yet again they will never know!
Thanks for the reunion from all the old “block-heads”
April 4th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Hi
Its great to have you guys back. Missed you all very much. Its nice to see you all together in the photo.
Can’t wait for you all to come to London (England), will look out for you.
Enjoy and remember to relax!
also Thank You for everything that you have done for me.
Hang Tough!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Thank you so much guys!!!!
LONG LIVE THE BLOCK!!!
With love from France
April 4th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I am so excited and have not been able to think about much else since I heard about this reunion tour!!! I feel like a teenager again!! I remember, like it was yesterday, camping out all night at the Civic Center to get tickets to my first NKOTB concert!!
I’ve pulled out all the old videos, shirts, buttons, and yes, even Joey’s hat with no top!! I even taught my 3 boys how to wave their arms in the air to Hangin’ Tough! Can’t wait to see you again and wish you all the best for the upcoming tour!
April 4th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Its amazing to hear that you are back. Throughout many of my teenage years you all got me through some difficult times. Myeslf and my sisters adored you guys and thought that one day we would meet you…LOL! Now being 33 I see how we were living in a fanatsy…..and a great one at that. A fantasy that took us away from some of the hard times that teenagers go through when growing up. I reckon having you there made us who we are today and that is something that not a lot of people can say they have done!!!
Well…good luck boys….hope to see you all on tour very soon…we’ll definitely be there x
WELCOME BACK X

April 4th, 2008 at 3:15 am
You have no idea how happy you’ve made a big chunk of the world. I’m SO excited, I always loved all your music as it suited me at the stage of life I was at years and years ago and look forward to how it will have matured!
thanks for coming back!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:17 am

Soooo good to see you boys reunited! Can’t wait for your tour to reach the UK and i would’ve have been in NY today to see you but it was short notice!
You’re welcome to stop by for a cup of tea & slice of cake…or maybe something stronger (: if you are ever in Cambridge, England

April 4th, 2008 at 3:24 am
I am so excited that this day as happened. Thanks so much for this chance for my “friends” from childhood to talk about times we enjoyed together and plans for the upcoming months of enjoying concerts. My own kids are learning more about what their mother is like. Thanks again, and see you guys soon.
April 4th, 2008 at 3:28 am

Welcome back from canada
April 4th, 2008 at 3:31 am
WELCOME BACK!!!!! It has been worth the wait for you all! My cell has your ringtones so that I can always hear a little bit. I was hoping to be at the Today Show to cheer in person, but tickets were gone so fast plus I am due to have a baby any day. I can’t wait for the tour. I will there ready to sing and dance. I’m sure your families are excited for you just as your fans are. With much love and excitement. Michelle

I am so glad that you are getting together.. I am following you from 1988 and have all your albums and hundreds of fotos..I am from Croatia but now I live in Italy so sorry for my english..Your group has helped me during the war because you made me feel a little bit safe and I was not thinking too much..
Thank you for coming back together because I hope to see your concert now when I have 30 years..
Many hugs and many kisses to all specially to Jordan ( your albums are great)..
April 4th, 2008 at 3:41 am

April 4th, 2008 at 3:46 am
We always knew your hearts were in it. The fan thank you for being you! You can’t imagine our excitement! (Did I just turn into a 5th grader again??)
Thanks for bringing us all with you!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:47 am
“You know Joey Joe’s READY”…sorry that’s the first thing I thought this morning when I read the blog..lol.
Thank you all so much! I know you all have families now, as do we, and it is an enormous sacrifice.
The reunion is such a blessing on so many levels. My high school friends and I are all in contact planning and plotting just like the old days. At this age, life is pretty hectic and we all could use the escape back to our New Kids days.
Thank you for the opportunity to create more lasting memories!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:49 am
I can’t wait for the reunion. It’s been a long time coming and it’s finally here and I couldn’t be happier. 20 years later I am still a fan and will always be a fan.
April 4th, 2008 at 3:54 am
I never thought I would see this happen. It was you guys and Bon Jovi when I was teenager. My walls were plastered with pics and the only music coming from my stereo was you or JBJ! I stuck with JBJ and was disappointed when NKOTB disbanded. This is too good to be true! I hope you guys make it big again…I am sure you can! Good Luck and God Bless!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:54 am
i think of you!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:55 am
You are SO right, Joe…
Nothing’s changed - we still are a bunch of loyal, true, honest fans who are just as dedicated to you guys as we were back in 1990.
Everything’s changed - we have grown up and matured, and we are willing and able to give you our 200%!!
Lotsa luv from Spain!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:04 am
Looking forward to what’s to come! Good luck!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:06 am
Woah boy I can’t even tell you the jumbly bumbly feelings I feel when I think back to the New Kids. I’m now 25 and the giddy 10 year old comes out when I think about Joey Mac, Jordan, Jonathan, Donny, and Danny. You guys are more than a boy band…you represent my childhood!
Can’t wait to continue to support you guys!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:10 am
I can’t believe it!! I am soooo excited for this, we’ve all been waiting a LONG time!! Lots of luck guys…cant wait to see all of you back on that stage, OWN IT!! Thanks!! Karrie xoxo
April 4th, 2008 at 4:12 am
I saw you live in concert in Belgium, somewhere around 1991. It was one of the first concerts my parents let me go to as a 15-year old. I’ve seen many many concerts since then, but I still have very fond memories of that night. And I can’t wait for another one of those nights soon!
I believe it was your body guard that even did the opening show at the time!
Welcome back guys! Although I won’t decorate my room anymore like I used to, you still have fans in Europe!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:14 am
Ah, nostalgia…I’ll never forget what it was to be caught up in the NKOTB frenzy back in my grade school days. Now back and better than ever, older and perhaps a bit more versed in both the business and life itself, the five of you are about to have the time of your lives…again.
Congratulations to all of you! I pray for your continued success in both your personal and professional lives, and for the much needed catharsis your reunion is about to bring you all.
Good luck and God Bless!

April 4th, 2008 at 4:18 am
I would give absolutely anything to see you guys in concert again! Please come to Knoxville! I have never stopped being a fan and that includes the solo work and acting you guys have done. My sister met Joey and his dad a few years back and I was/am so jealous. Backstage passes? I’d sell everything I own to buy them!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:18 am
This 30 year old woman feels like she is 12 years old again!
You all look amazing and I can’t wait to hear what you have in store!
Thank you so much for doing this
April 4th, 2008 at 4:19 am

April 4th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Welcome back, guys! You never left my heart! I finally have a reason to wear my Hangin’ Tour jacket in public!! I’m so incredibly happy that you’re back! When I was 8 (20 years ago almost) I lived in Puerto Rico and never got to see you all perform, and now I have the opportunity to and be able to see it! Love you all very much, good luck this morning, and it’s goog to hae you back!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:29 am
Thank you so much guys for this reunion, one I never thought possible, you bring so much joy to my life, I’m sure it will be better the second time around as we all are grown up and mature I think us and you too would be able to appreciate and enjoy this walk to memory lane, the good old times and the new emotions and excitement with your new music. You all are wonderful human beings and truly gifted musicians. God bless you guys always, I ‘ll be loving you forever and make this ride one you and all of us will never forget I’m sure you will.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:30 am
I have been a fan forever. I am 31 years old now with 4 kids and I was recently telling my husband how crazy it is that I am so excited about this reunion. I feel like that little girl anxiously waiting again. Silly, I know, but I love it. My cousin and I were HUGE fans back in the day and attended many many concerts and we can’t wait for your tour dates to be released. We will definitely be there to welcome you all back. CAN’T WAIT! Good luck to you all and best wishes along your new journey.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Wow! I’m glad you guys are reuniting, but the fans are not stupid, you don’t need to be so philosiphical. Has becoming a dad changed you that much?
April 4th, 2008 at 4:37 am
Welcome back! It’s about time. Many years have passed and as you mentioned nothing has changed, but everything has changed. How true is that! We’ve all moved forward in life and are now coming back full circle to where it all began. I’m very excited about this reunion and I will always support the Block.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Hey,
Thank you guys. I am so excited. Hopefully now after 22 years I will finally have the opportunity to see you all live. And say THANK YOU to you personally. You guys (well your music) helped me get through some tough times years ago. It so awesome to enjoy your music now again, having grown up and having survived and left the tough times behind me. It’s awesome and I am so ready. THANKS AGAIN.
Sue
April 4th, 2008 at 4:43 am
Hey Guys,
Welcome back, great to hear you are writing new songs. Looking forward to hearing them as well as old the old classics.
Best of luck & have a great time.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:43 am
Have been waiting to hear this news for sooooooo long. Hoping you’re coming to the UK as can’t wait to see you all.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:45 am
thank you for letting us know:-)
I hope you all have a good day:-)
April 4th, 2008 at 4:46 am
What you are doing is hugely appreciated by many people all around the world. We are all very happy and it is deffinetely a plus -even for us- that you have waited to do it until you all felt it was the right time and for the right reasons.
We are excited to have you back now that you all have gone through so much, have grown so much and done many interesting things each on your own.
Welcome back guys. Have a wonderful time! I hope you will enjoy every second of it. We sure will.
And thank you!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:48 am
You cannot believe the excitement your true fans are feeling. Live on guys, Live on…..
April 4th, 2008 at 4:51 am
Thanks for finally returning to the fans. We’ve missed you together. I even missed Jon when he wasn’t at our show in Milwaukee in 94! Welcome back guys… hope you’re coming to the Twin Cities!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:51 am
OMG - What did that mean. Just keep it real dawg!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:51 am
Can’t wait for the performance today and announcement of tour dates. I always made it to previous concerts in my hometown but was never lucky enough to be up close. This time I want front row baby!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Oh my god I am super excited about this comeback. I have loved you guys since 1988. I have been a die hard fan and have never given up hope on a reunion. I will definitley be at the reunion tour in Philadelphia or Trenton whichever one is first I might even be at both. I am going to try my hardest to be at the today show but being in the military it might be a little difficult I look forward to new material as well as some of your old material.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:52 am
I must say I am so excited for the reunion of NKOTB. I still listen to them. haha…they were the 1st concert I ever went to when I was in 6th grade. Ironically enough, I kept all my New Kids memorabilia. All my concert tees, posters, radio, pins, etc….I will definately be one of the first in line for some reunion tickets. Can’t wait! Long Live NKOTB!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:52 am
Joey and the Boys,
I think that is the best to describe the comeback. You have made many many memories for all your fans and we are now excited to make brand new ones. Congrats to you all and I look forward to seeing on tour.
Much Love,
Deanna

April 4th, 2008 at 4:55 am
Still looking just as good as you did in the ninties, only better. Hang tough! Can’t wait to hear the new old skool group get it back together.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:57 am
You just have no idea how excited this makes me. I feel like I’m turning back the hands of time to the BEST part of my life. My years of going to see the New Kids were the absolute best and I have for years wished to go back to that time and now in a strange way I am. Thank you!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:59 am
This is something I have been waiting on for a long time. To feel 16 again is great. No more than six months ago I took my daughter to a Jonas Brothers show and thought to myself…WOW I remember this…the excitement the screaming the utter chaos. It was wonderful. When I would show my daughter pictures of past NKOTB concerts and meeting the guys I would tell her…He (Donnie) is my Nick Jonas. She said “mom he is to old to be like Nick.” But I told her stories of “back in the day” and now she finally gets it. I cant wait to take her to a New Kids show and let her see how mom REALLY gets down.
April 4th, 2008 at 5:05 am
I’m so excited! News Kids were a huge part of my adolescence, and I still listen to the music and sing along. I’ll definitely be in line for tickets in my city!! Yay!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:09 am
I am SO SO SO very excited for this! I can’t wait. I will definitely be there cheering you on!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:11 am
I am so excited that you guys are getting back together. You were a huge part of my teenage years, and even some of my adult. My Husband thinks I am crazy but he completly understands and supports my love for you all. I hope for only the best and that the new album and tour does extremely. I know I will be first in line. Good Luck.
April 4th, 2008 at 5:12 am
Hi
I can not wait to see you guys, back in the day hehe I had everything of yours..man oh man this is going to be great, thanks you!!!!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:13 am
Everything is just so awesome! I can’t believe it happened. I had hope, but you know the rumors over the years! And who knew I’d be so giddy when it happened. :o) I’ve already made a bargain with my husband and he now has to attend a concert with me. LOL So, ya’all have to come to Des Moines.
I cannot wait to hear the new stuff! I have a feeling it’s come a long way! Waiting for the Today show to start to get a sample of it.
Thank you so much for reuniting! You’ve made a lot of us very happy!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Thanks to all of you for taking the time to reunite. I cannot wait for the “exciting stuff” to happen!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:18 am
i love you guys!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:18 am

It is so great to be able to finally share with my 13 year old daughter my music. And funny enough she came to me and said mom look at these hot guys on this website……a friend had shown her. I laughed and asked her if she liked my music and she said no way….I told her you do now! She was so shocked….I pulled out my old tapes and played all the oldy but goodies and she danced and spent the rest of the night on youtube watching old New Kids Videos. My wedding song was I’ll be loving you forever and it is obvious that you guys loves music…..Can’t wait to take my daughter to a concert!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:45 am
“Long live The Block!” I’m so happy that you’re back together again! I haven’t been this excited about new material and an upcoming tour since I was 9!!!! N.K.O.T.B…you were truly missed…..and we never forgot you!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:47 am

April 4th, 2008 at 5:47 am
My sister and I are cannot believe that you are coming back! We are 32 and 34 and our 4 kids even know about NKOTB! Loved your music back then looking forward to hearing you now. You guys look FANTASTIC as always. We had some of the craziest and best times with at your concerts (We are in D-town, Mich). Very excited to hear that you are coming back - Peace Out!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:48 am
Cannot wait for the tour dates and cities to be announced. I want front row this time!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:51 am
I’m so incredibly excited that NKOTB is back. I’m a 28 year old woman that is giggling with the excitement of a 12 year old. I am crossing my fingers that there will be a tour stop in Ottawa, Canada. I’ll even go to Toronto to see them! I AM READY!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:52 am
AMEN!! Your fans, as well as yourselves, have grown up. However, from the 15 year old girl I was when this whole experience started til today, I’ve never lost my affection or appreciation for who New Kids were to my life. Many life long friends and memories were made through the “Love” of NKOTB, and for that, I’m forever grateful! So excited to hear your back, for however long that will be, know that this 32 year old wishes you the experience you’re looking for. I’ll be there cheering you on all the way! Be sure to make a stop in Minneapolis!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:52 am
I am so excited for this reunion!! You guys look fantastic! I have so many fond memories of your music and your concerts, you were such a huge part of my life. It will be so nice to follow your careers as an adult this time around.
Jon…(WOW)You are gorgeous!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:53 am
I turned 30 last week and at first, it was difficult but I got used to the idea. I must say that hearing my favorite band from my childhood is doing a 20 year reuinion made me feel old! LOL! I am stoked, though, totally excited. I actually cried when I saw you all on tv this morning. I called my mom and told her my first love, Danny Wood, was back! I LOVE you guys and I cannot wait to see your concert!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:53 am
When will the new album be released? And when will tour dates be announced?

April 4th, 2008 at 6:03 am
I am soooo excited to see the new kids on the block. I feel like a tiny booper again. i was really young and was not allowed to go to any concerts. now i am an adult so I CAN GO. i can not wait. i still have my NKOTB Dolls. I still have my cassette tape that me and a friend of mine rock out to for in the car. YEAH NKOTB!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:05 am

Hello guys! Welcome back!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I think it is great that you guys are getting back out there! I grew up with your music and it reminds me of a really good time in my life. I hope you are up this way (Buffalo) when you tour. All us 15 year old girls at heart will be there!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:08 am
This is seriously the happiest day of my life, aside of course from the birth of my children and my wedding day….I feel like a teenage girl again! Thank you for finally getting back together. We all look forward to new music and hysteria from the five of you.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:08 am
My birthday wish has come true!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:09 am
SO thrilled you guys are getting back together!! You KNOW I’ll be at your concert screaming my head off just like I did when I was 13!!
Love you guys!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:09 am
I am THRILLED that “The Block” is returning! These men are truly entertainers and I am sure it will be well worth the wait! Some of my fondest memories are of traveling around the country with my little brother and mother watching these guys do their thing! We even had the most amazing experience on their Magic Summer Cruise where we were able to meet them and their families–my little brother even made a hit as the “Little Joey-Joe” look-alike on that cruise! Great times! Congrats on your come-back! We can’t wait to see you in concert again!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:09 am
Looking forward to hearing the new stuff and seeing the five of you performing together again!! I will ALWAYS be a blockhead!
-m
April 4th, 2008 at 6:10 am
No words can describe my excitement! I was only in grade school when I went crazy for you guys and to this day, I was praying for this reunion! I nearly fainted at your concert here in Los Angeles on my birthday. I am looking forward to hearing your new album! You all are so talented and I have no doubts that together again, you’ll be dynamite! Please tour here in L.A.!! I LOVE YOU NKOTB!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:11 am
I’m sooooo happy the NKOTB are coming back! I have to search for my memory box filled with new kids stuff. I was only 12 when New Kids were out and now I am 30 and still a HUGE, HUGE, HAPPY FAN of NKOTB, all other boy bands really do suck about time you guys are back we all needed to reunite!!! I love you guys!!!! Hangin’ tough forever and can’t wait to see for you guys to arrive to THE VERIZON CENTER IN WASHINGTON D.C.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Welcome back guys! Can’t wait to see you in Philly!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:15 am
This is like the best news I’ve heard in a long time, other than the birth of my two children!!! I never thought I’d hear the five of you all sing together once again! I feel like a teenager again, and my husband thinks I’m a nut case:) Good luck to you all and way to go Jon for giving it one more try with the rest of the guys, I know it’s hard for you! Can’t wait to hear your voices on the radio and from my CD player once again!!!!!!
Crystal from Maryland
April 4th, 2008 at 6:16 am
Out of simple curiosity, does the group plan on resurrecting any of the classic merchandise from the early 90s, specifically the bed sheets with Joey pillows?
April 4th, 2008 at 6:19 am
Everyone I know is so excited!!!
To revisited my childhood, I drove by Donnie Walhberg’s mom’s house last week. Ah, I remember the crazy days of sitting on the sidewalk (with the cop there keeping us on the other side of the street). I did the quick driveby, then figured that was creepy and hope no one noticed!!!
I can’t wait for the tour dates - I hope you start in Boston!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:21 am
Just like the rest of the world, I sit in awe with the prospect of being able to finally see you all in the spotlight once again. I never was able to see a performance, so I am hoping that this reunion will take you all to smaller venues in more places than ever before. Sydney, Nova Scotia for one would be a great place…just a suggestion to those in the decision making room.
Cheers to The Block….Welcome back!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:23 am
YAYAYAYAYAYAY…..! Guys, it feels SOOOO damn good to have you all back on the Block again!!! FINALLY! I really can´t wait for the single, album and tour to come!!!! And I appreciate all the hard work you put into this to make it all happen! You guys still rock!…..YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

April 4th, 2008 at 6:24 am
I agree! Long live The Block! It is so wonderful to see you back!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:24 am
I would love to see them in concert in Cleveland Ohio. I know many people who would come to it.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:25 am
This is my first time visiting this site, so I don’t really know if I should post here or not. But I just wanted to say that it is TOTALLY FREAKIN AWESOME that New Kids are gettin back together and going on tour!! I will so be there if you come to North Carolina!!! I saw you guys perform in Charlotte, NC many moons ago!! CoverGirl and Dino opened for y’all (that’s right I said y’all). I remember how great a show it was! OMG…this is such a flash back to my younger years. I am 30 now. When I was 12 and 13 I SWORE I was going to marry Jordan and Joe, lol!! I was a major fan. And guess what….I STILL HAVE ALL YOUR CASSETTES. Yeah, cassettes. I don’t have a tape player anymore, haha, but I kept them because they were such an important part of my life. They have sentimental value! It’s been really cool seeing Donnie star in movies over the past several years; was sad to see him die in Saw 4 though, lol!! Anyway, ROCK ON and always HANG TOUGH!! I wish you all the best.
-Susan
April 4th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Well, memories of a simpler time are revived!
It’s pretty cool to see you all together again, like being reunited with an old friend.
thank you.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I, for one, say BRAVO!! I am almost 33 and grew up on you guys. I have 2 daughters of my own and CANNOT wait to share the center of my teen years (you guys) with them. This is amazing… I am completely nostalgic. I have to go up in my parents’ attic and dig up my box of pins, shoelaces, posters, trading cards, etc… I still have everything. Hahaha!! Can’t wait to see you guys in concert. I know without a doubt you all still have the “right stuff”. And might I say, it’s awesome to see you all together again. Still a bunch of hotties!! I love ya’s!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I am so excited you guys are coming back. I am 30 years old now and because you are back I feel like I am 12 again. It’s great to see all of you again and I wish you all the luck in the world. You all are still as handsome as you were 20 years ago. God bless!!!!!!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:26 am
I’m so excited!! It’s been a few years since I’ve seen you on stage- this is going to be great!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:26 am

We can’t even say how much it means to all of us to have you back. Although you’ve been out of the public eye for 14 years, we have been holding you in our hearts. Hearing you sing to us again will be like coming home.
Love always,
Kate
April 4th, 2008 at 6:34 am
I never thought I would see the day you would get back together! I can’t wait to hear the new music. Thank you for this.
xoxo Trish
April 4th, 2008 at 6:35 am
I’ so happy for you guys! I was and still am a huge fan of NKOTB. It’s crazy seeing you back together makes me feel like a 13 year old all over again…well maybe not that young but you know what I mean. Heck I’m 31 now so it’s not so bad to feel young again. Seeing you guys back together reminds me of the days that I was crazy over you all and spent every little penny I had on buying your merchandise. I have a 3 year old niece who loves Hanna Montana and I told her that you guys were my Hanna Montana. LOL
I wish you all the luck in your return and I will be supporting you all the way to the top again.
Long live NKOTB!!! Hang tough guys! ;O)
Love Jaime
April 4th, 2008 at 6:35 am
I can honestly say that all of my friends are so excited about the reunion! We loved you back then and I’m sure we’ll love you now. Everyone here is excited about your reunion and tour and if Raleigh, NC is any indication of how your tour will go…ya’ll will be very successful! good luck!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:35 am
This is absolutely amazing!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I cannot WAIT to go see your concert. I’m just laughing at seeing the parking lot at the coliseum FULL of minivans, and there’s no ice capades or Dora Live show playing
My four year old has been rocking out to Step By Step all morning… She has a lil’ crush on Jordan, although you were always my favorite. Can’t wait for the tour dates to be announced…. I’m pregnant and due in October, hopefully I won’t have to be induced early so that I don’t miss the concert 
April 4th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Can’t wait to see and hear what you guys are up to, Joe! Thanks for the blog entry Joe, and the memories. The ones from years past and the ones to come.
Much love from Miami, FL!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:37 am
Hi, I’m glad to see the five of you reunited after all these years. I’ve continued to follow all of you in your endeavors. As I’m sure you’ve noticed every one is thrilled about this reunion.

April 4th, 2008 at 6:47 am
I’m so glad that the five of you took on the endevour of getting back together to create music for your legions of die hard fans. Those of us that have never forgotten how listening to a NKOTB song for the first time made us feel. The rush and craziness of going to a concert. *laughs* The bickering over which one of you was better. We may be older, we may be mothers, wives, soldiers, teachers, etc., but we still all have that one thing in common, our love for NKOTB!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:47 am
Just saw you guys on the Today Show… it’s so great to see the 5 of you together again! Can’t wait to hear more about this awesome reunion and also the new music.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:48 am
I just wanted to say I think it’s great that 5 friends can come back to the thing they shared and enjoy the experience. It’s seems so long ago that I was one of those screaming girls in the crowd. I am looking forward to the new music and watching you perform again. I may not be able to jump around as I once did due to old age but I look forward to it just the same. Ha Ha. Thanks for the memories and the future good times. Have fun and we’ll see you soon in Houston!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:49 am

I am so happy that you guys have decided to come back. I am sure that your families are proud too. You guys have really gotten better looking with age and I am sure that your music will follow suit. I will be breaking out the old New Kids tapes (yes I said tapes)for my kids to listen to. Best of Luck and I hope I can come see you guys on tour. My prayers are with you!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:50 am
I’m so glad you all are back. It means so much to us fans. We were there for you in the beginning and we will continue to be there to support you. Thank you for making this our year. It looks like this is your year too. Have fun and we are happy to enjoy this ride with you.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I have loved you guys since I was a little girl. You were all I would listen to back then. I was obsessed with Joey and Jordan was hot too. You guys are fantastic and I am soooo excited you are coming back! I hope that your comeback is successful because you guys could show these little boy bands out these days what it’s really supposed to be like! I still have ALL of my NKOTB stuff from my childhood too. I bought the greatest hits cd that came out a few years ago too. YOU GUYS ROCK! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I’m happy to see you guys reunited again. It has been a long time in coming. But time changes everything and I’m looking forward to the new cd and hopefully you guys will come out with a dvd to go with the cd. God Bless you guys each and everyone one of you.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:57 am
I’m so thrilled because I have personally waited for this day, for a very long time. I’m 32 now but remember the NKOTB “ride” like it was yesterday. To see you all together brings back so many happy memories I had as a teen. Donnie was my first crush
Bravo! on your reunion this morning, you were awesome!! After all these years you can still bring tears to my eyes lol.

I am excited about this and can’t wait to see you guys live again! it’s been too long! Congrats and good luck!

This is an amazing event. Just goes to show people of our generation really can still accomplish their dreams and icons of our youth will not die. I have to admit I went and pulled out the NKOTB memorabilia that I currently have packed away and I introduced my 10 year old daughter to the “Kids” that made me happy. So now I have something to share with my daughter and have the energy and feelings I have not had in years! I was even able to pull out the pictures I have with the guys at Hammerjacks and impress her!

Watching the Today show. Watched you guys come out that red curtain. Found myself going back to the days of New Kids Shirts. Buttons and that good stuff. Sad to say I never been to a New Kids concert. I had just became a new Mother in the 90’s. I was 19. I thought my childhood was done. Time to grow up. Not to say I didn’t enjoy the hits. Dancing along listening to your music.
Now years later. HERE YOU ARE. I am very excited for the 5 of you. Can’t wait to see what happens. Many wishes of happiness and fun. Enjoy.

I am thrilled that NKOTB is touring again! Please, please, please come to Houston!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:04 am
Welcome back guys! I cant wait to chase you again on tour! However, (laughing) i’m not as quick as I use to be. I’m 28 and still proud to be a huge fan. Time to stretch out my NKOTB tshirt and shine up my big pins (I think i have all five). I still listen to your music and cant wait for the new “stuff” ;). I cant wait to hear when you will be coming to Boston. Hopefully you’re prepared for more than one day here! I’m sure the tickets will sell out quickly!
I hope you and your families are well. Take care and congrats on your return!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:04 am

I am truly excited to see the band reuniting.
Watching all of you on The Today Show this morning, made me feel like a young girl again
Extremely excited for the tour, where I am sure, all of us “Grown Women” will return to our screaming, smitten selfs over the Band to start it all.
Can’t wait, and excited for more to come!!!
BTW Joey, you are as hot today, as I thought you were back then..;)
April 4th, 2008 at 7:10 am
I have always LOVED the BOYS. Now they are MEN honey they are looking GOOOODDD.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:10 am
Welcome back and keep on working!
This is so exciting!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:12 am
How do you guys think you can pull this off? I was a fan many years ago, but it seems quite silly now to see you all up there. You do understand that this is nothing compared to acts such as Spice Girls and such. Dont get me wrong, Donnie… you are well on your way to being a great actor like your brother.. why would you put this reunion on your resume? To me, this is not a good thing, let us old real fans keep the good in our memory, please dont ruin the image we had of you all.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:12 am
I am so EXCITED! Giddy actually. I never got to see you all last time and I am going to do all in my power to do so this time. I missed you all and I am looking forward to the new music.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:48 am
We love you in Deeetroit!!!! You have to come here on tour, and Donnie, I will be your Cover Girl!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Growing up listening to New Kids was amazing for me. You guys were such a big part of my life and I have never forgotten you. I have always been proud of being a New Kids Fan. I think my husband is jelous about my new found interest lately and how I re-live my memories of you guys. You’r reunion has sparked a reunion between myself and child-hood friends I have not seen in 10 years. That is amazing that you guys can brings friends back together. I know you have you’r own lives and maybe you thougt this was the last thing you would want to do…but Thank You. Even if it’s for one last time Thank You.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Hey guys good to see you back. can’t wait to hear your new tunes and see ya on tour.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:09 am

April 4th, 2008 at 9:11 am
I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am. My mom just shook her head when I told her b/c she remembers how ‘in love’ I was w/ each of you. I wish you all the best of luck with this reunion, and I can’t wait to listen to the new but relive the old!
Much Love!

I am so excited. NKOTB was the first concert I ever went to. I can’t wait to see them again.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:22 am
I’m so excited about this reunion, you have no idea!!!! I was never able to go to one of your concerts when I was younger because my parents struggled with money. But now i will pay whatever to see you, I just hope that your tour includes Toronto.
Forever a fan,
Priscilla
April 4th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I am beyond excited to hear of the NKOTB reunion and will definitely be hitting up one of the concerts this year. I just have one request - your “old” fans are now in their childbearing years, so put out some licensed NKOTB maternity and baby wear!
Welcome back, boys!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Finally, I have been waiting years for this news. I seriously hope that you will be making Montreal a stop on the tour. I know so many people here that are anxiously awaiting the venue info. Can’t wait to hear the new material you guys having been recording.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:24 am
HOLA SOY DE ARGENTINA, TENGO 35 AÑOS Y ESTOY SUPER CONTENTA DE QUE LOS CHICOS SE JUNTEN OTRA VES….NO LO PUEDO CREER !!!! ES UN SUEÑO HECHO REALIDAD….LO MEJOR PARA ESTE NUEVO COMIENZO….QUIERO ESCUCHAR EL DISCO NUEVO YA !!!!!! LOS QUIERO
April 4th, 2008 at 9:24 am
My god I just don’t know what to say. I have been waiting for this for years. You guys finally coming back and singing to all of your fans who also have been waiting years. I feel like a little school girl again all excited and crushing over the boys. Meanwhile I am married and having a baby, but what can I say. I was very young when you guys where around I was born in 1986 but I used to dance around my livingroom with my tape player and dance with my cousins to your music. I was never able to go to your concert because my mother said I was too young so this is my chance to see you guys.
I made a CD with all of your music on it and I still play it in my car (mind you my husband does not like it) but I play it nice a loud. Thank you guys so much for doing this. I can’t wait and hopefully you will tour Canada. Come to Toronto for us Please!!!!
LOve you guys forever
AShley
P.S Joey can you still hit those high notes!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:27 am
I was a huge fan & am excited to see where your life experience takes your music now.
Best of Luck to you All!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Hey guys -come back to Scotland!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:28 am
It is about time!! Your devoted fans have been hoping this time would come!! We are ready and so excited!! Long live NKOTB!!! Good luck guys!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:29 am
So excited! I haven’t swooned in years…but I did this morning after your announcement! It would be nice, Joey, if you could work out that economy and healthcare thing…
April 4th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Can’t wait for you guys to come to Dallas!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Hi boys
Nice seeing you again
its been too long!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Joey!!! I was in love with you guys when I was just a kid and continued to love you throughout the years. I am now 27 and am so excited for this come back!! Please be sure to make a tour stop in Colorado!!
Love you guys and welcome back!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Long live the block indeed! As a preteen fan, I couldn’t get enough of you guys! To this day, your music brings me back to a great place, and you bet your butt I listen to the Christmas album anually (and sometimes in July…). You guys made growing up in the late 80’s early 90’s a blast! Now that we’re all a little older, I can’t wait to see what you bring to the table. I’m so psyched you decided to get back together and give all your fans the music and good times we’ve been waiting for. My friends and I will be definitely be at your shows, and this time, we’ll bring the husbands along for the ride…my how times have changed! I wish you all the success and fulfilment you deserve, and we can’t wait to see you in the fall!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:33 am
I am so excited for the return of NKOTB. It’s about time and I think the fans are ready for y’all to come back. Here’s to old memories and now memories. Cheers!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I was ecstatic to hear about this reunion. I loved you all from the beginning to the middle solo projects of acting or albums, and even more so now. I pray that your tour comes close enough to Kentucky so my cousin and I can come and cheer for the five men that we once loved as boys. I am proud of all your various accomplishments on your own and I can’t wait to be part of this reunion with you. Thanks for sharing this with the fans. Can’t wait to see you on tour!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I am far too excited! I think I just turned into a 13 year old girl again. Welcome back guys.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:40 am
It was so nice to see you guys back together again!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes, seeing you guys on the TODAY show. The fans you had back then, have grown right along with you giving up our dreams of ever marrying one of you and started our own famlies. I love being able to share my experiences with my 15 year old daughter, which is around the same age I was when I was an NKOTB “Fan-iac”. Good luck in this new chapter of your lives and I can’t wait to hear more!!!
Still and always will be a fan,
Sunshine Abel

Thanks for giving this housewife some excitement to her day!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:42 am
IT’S ABOUT TIME!!! I have ALWAYS been a fan, and when I saw the New Kids on the today show this morning, I called a lot of friends from “back in the day” to tell them the LONG AWAITED news! We’re even planning a little bash this weekend… I’ll have to dig out my VCR tapes, Hangin’ Tough and Step by Step. I have been in such a great mood this morning since the news broke, I got out a NKOTB CD and have been rockin’ out since! I still remember all the words! Thanks for bringing me back to a time in my life when life was easy! Oh, to be 12 again!!! I, along with a lot of other girls in my hometown in MN, are totally looking forward to seeing what’s up with these guys in the NEAR future!!! I may even break out my new kids on the block phone…just for old times sake!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:43 am
As long as yall are happy to be back and enjoying everything that you are doing then we are all happy to have you back. It is great to know that everyone remained close and is still happy making music.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:44 am
I have loved the new kids on the block since I was 3 years old. hahaha I am 22 now. I remember one Christmas when I got the Joey doll. Ohhh I was soooo in love with these boys. Joey was my first ever crush. I really hope they tour in Canada..
April 4th, 2008 at 9:44 am
I’m so happy!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Your reunion is coming at the best time. I am pregnant with my third child, a stay at home mom, and I’m very drained from this long winter in the midwest. I just turned 30 and am feeling a little old. I have looked back at the time when you were touring, and found it a trully happy time. I loved the music, the concerts, the interviews, and everything that went along with it. There hasn’t been a band that has come along that I have felt that same feeling for. I know there are many other fans that feel the same. Thank you for being able to bring back some of those great times. To feel like a kid again, even for a moment, is priceless. I have a daughter Kylie that I can share the experience with. Thank you all for making the decision to come back for a reunion. I always hoped the day would come!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Alright. My cousin, Janelle, and I went to see you all in the DC area oh….19 years ago? We are already making plans for the next road trip to see you all now. VA Beach?? Richmond, VA?? Raleigh, NC??
Congrats on the reunion, guys!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Its about time!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Very exciting! I’ve been a fan since “Please Don’t Go Girl” took over my screen while watching MTV back in the 80’s. I enjoyed following your solo careers…you are such a talented group of guys! You all look great and I’m excited
