For once, all the rumors are actually true.
“The Right Stuff” really is — at long last — returning to your block. Thankfully, this time, it’s all happening in the right way too.
New Kids On The Block — five now fully-grown men who forever defined what the modern boy band would look and sound like — are back together for the very first time in nearly a decade and a half, and currently hard at work on their first new album since 1994. That still untitled album should be released sometime this summer, preceded by the New Kid’s first new single since the Nineties, and followed in the fall by an already hotly anticipated international concert tour.
On a March afternoon, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood are gathered together, hanging tough all over again in a small Los Angeles studio looking a little older, but still youthful, fit and anxious to not simply celebrate their musical legacy, but also add something new and personally meaningful to it. In the late Eighties and early Nineties, while still teenagers themselves, New Kids on the Block became a phenomenon, selling over 70 million albums – including the back-to-back international number one efforts, 1988’s Hangin’ Tough and 1990’s Step By Step — and a series of crossover smash R&B, pop hits like “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” “Cover Girl,” “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time),” “Hangin’ Tough,” “I’ll Be Loving You,” “Step By Step” and “Tonight” — as well as countless number of concert tickets, t-shirts and even lunchboxes to primarily female kids around the world. Then under the guidance of producer Maurice Starr who had previously brought the world New Edition, the New Kids made a tremendous impact on the culture very quickly.
“I think history has looked upon us fondly,” say McIntyre. “I wouldn’t say we were important, but people do now see our place in pop history. We’ve read that we `begat the boy bands” like Backstreet Boys and N’Sync. And in a way, those groups have all made us more contemporary. They made us younger in a way by putting us in their generation. But hey, what about New Edition? There would be no New Kids without them. And of course, the Jackson Five begat New Edition. So I guess we were really just the first white boy band.”
These days, four of the five Kids have kids themselves, as well as assorted careers and lives of their own, and so their decision to reunite had been an adult if joyful one that they’ve taken very seriously. That’s why this time around – even with the assistance of a great new team including Interscope Records and the Azoff Management team, it’s the original Kids themselves who have taken charge of their own destiny with new music that they found and funded themselves.
“We’re not kids, we’re just the guys now,” Donnie Wahlberg says with a smile as he takes a break from the recording sessions that started this past winter and have taken on a momentum of its own this spring. Long the hold out from any sort of New Kids On The Block reunion, Wahlberg – who has enjoyed considerable success as a constantly working actor in the intervening years – has long made it clear that he had absolutely no interest in simply cashing in on the Kid’s good name. “We’ve had so many offers from so many people over the years, but I’ve always protected the asset,” he says. “We never sold the New Kids house to anyone. And until we got together in a recording studio in Orlando two months ago, I haven’t even been in the same room with these five guys for fifteen years.”
And this time, it’s the boys – make that, the men – in the group who are in charge.
“We took the initiative instead of going out and asking for help from a label or anyone,” McIntyre explains. “We just started recording because we wanted to and because we were ready. We started doing this from the ground up –just us.”
The brand new New Kids album was really sparked when Wahlberg was in New York for a costume fitting for the upcoming film Righteous Kill that finds him living out another life-long dream by acting in a film alongside two of his greatest heroes, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino as well as 50 Cent. Finding himself around the block, Wahlberg visited the office of his longtime music lawyer who handed him a demo tape of a young singer-songwriter name Nazeree. Since the days of New Kids — and his time producing hits in the early Nineties for his brother Mark as Markey Mark and The Funky Bunch – Wahlberg has been handed a mountain of demos in his time and he took the offering with absolutely no expectations.
Putting the CD on while driving a few days later, Wahlberg heard two songs that spoke to him powerfully. “I got in the car in Boston on my birthday and I popped it in,” he recalls. “ The first song was called `Click, Click, Click’ and from the minute it started, it just grabbed me. I kept waiting for this kid to falter, but he never did. Not only that – I immediately recognized that Joey McIntryre is going to love this record, Jordan Knight is going to love this record and I love this record. The music speaks to all of our sensibilities, but they’re all totally different. It was hip-hop and honest enough for me. It was soulful enough for Jordan and pop and unselfish enough for Joe. It just had it all. I spent the next few hours driving up to girls at red lights and playing them the song. They said, `Is that your song? I said `Not yet.’”
After years of blocking any reunion, Wahlberg was suddenly energized and drove to Jordan Knight’s house that night and played him the songs, “I told him. `Jordan, this could be the moment right here.’ Jordan heard `Click, Click, Click’ and he loved it. Then I emailed them to Joe and the same reaction — and more importantly his wife cried. So I pulled out my checkbook and we started going.”
What had started was more like a mission than a comeback.
“See what I discovered is that the self-respect I have as an actor was hard to have in music,” Wahlberg explains. “Parts of what we went through were kind of prefabricated – though the whole New Kids machine only started once we got the ball rolling. It was grass roots before that. Maurice Starr was the guy behind our success, but we were in it from day one. So over the years, I’ve often thought I’d like to experience the group with that feeling of self-respect — instead of just the fame and hysteria, so it’s not about just getting something back, but about really doing something.”
In the months that followed, Wahlberg and the other Kids would collaborate closely with Nazaree, who turned out to be a New Kids fan since childhood, as well as other gifted producers and writers including Bryan-Michael Cox, Emanuel Kiriakou, RedOne and Fernando on an new album that blends the melodic soul of vintage New Kids with a decidedly contemporary, hip hop feel.
“Donnie was right,” McIntyre explains. “The new music we’re making reignited this whole thing so it’s not just cashing in on pure nostalgia for the old days.”
Of the group’s demise back in the mid-Nineties, McIntyre explains, “We were just fried. What happened to us in the span of a couple years was mind-blowing, and no one really knew what it was. We were learning as it went. A lot of groups today know the mold and plan accordingly. We didn’t start out with the idea that in two years we’d be playing stadiums. So by the end of our touring obligations in like 1992, we just want to go home. We had moved on and then music had totally moved on. Grunge happened. Rock and roll came back. We never slammed the door shut – we just sort of walked away. And at that point, we weren’t exactly going to hold a press conference because no one really cared.”
“It’s the thing about being in a boy band,” Wahlberg says. “In some ways we were much more in control than people could ever imagine back then. But in some ways, you can’t control anything.”
In the studio today, all five seem to be getting along and contributing something to the whole.
“I think the thing with us is that we always hung onto the fact that we were buddies first,” Joey McIntyre explains. “This wasn’t a cattle call or a reality show. The point is this wasn’t a business first. It’s wasn’t even a business second. This was a business last. And in the end, we stayed friends and didn’t judge each other two much, which could get frustrating. But the pay off for that is that almost 20 years later, we can get together, hang out and have fun. It’s different now, it’s a little more planned out and professional, but we’re still a bunch of guys who love doing this and want every show to be our best.”
Now that the five Kids are standing together and planning to hit the road with a new show, simply reviving the old hits isn’t enough. “No, I want this to be redemption — but not for us,” Wahlberg explains. “I want it to be redemption for the fans. I want them to feel entertained, to feel treated to something special. And I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.”
Make no mistake; the New Kids intend to play all the familiar hits – along with some brand new ones too. “Our old songs aren’t necessarily standards — they were pretty sweet — but it’s going to be fun in a live show. People come to hear that music, so we’re going to sing it with basically the same sound. We’re not doing a reggae version of our three biggest hits because when I see that, it pisses me off. Even I’m like `Spare me.’ We have something like ten top ten hits, which is amazing. So if we do those and five new songs, we’ll have a hell of a show. We will give the people what they want to hear.
So what will a New Kids On The Block concert look like in 2008?
“ We’re still young, we’re still hot,” McIntryre answers with a laugh. “Our fans are between 25 and 35 now because they were really young then. They’re still very attractive — and very legal. So it’s going to be a girls night out. I know my wife’s going to be there every step of the way, but it’s still going to be fun.”
Yes, the wait has been a long one, but it won’t be much longer now.
“The snowball is getting pretty big,” McIntrye adds as he and his four old friends get back to work. “And it’s heading down the mountain now.”

I’ve followed them all throughout the yrs as they went on to solo projects, and am so happy they all did/are doing so well!! I owe them so much gratitude for making an otherwise unhappy childhood, very joyful and for giving me something to smile about each day. I luv them all deeply and couldn’t be happier about this reunion.. I truly luv and support nkotb in every direction they take.. Can’t wait for the Today show to come on, I feel like that young excited teenage girl all over again!! It may be a decade+ yrs later, but my feelings for nkotb hasn’t changed, I luv the guys so much.. thanks for giving me so much happiness in my life now, then and always… I truly am one of ur (nkotb’s) biggest fans!!! –lotsa luv and support..always!!!

April 4th, 2008 at 2:35 am
I love it! As soon as I found out about the tour, I tracked down my old jr. high school girls and convinced my mom (who originally took us to your concerts) that we all HAD to do this together. Imagine us, the fans, now as full grown women who understand the pre-pubescent butterflies you guys gave us. Now mix 15 years and plenty of beer… this show is so going to kick ass! We’ll be there- front and center because now we can buy our own front row ticket no matter what the cost! Love you guys.
XOXO,
Kara

I’m so excited you are back together!! Even though it’s been yrs. and now a wife and mother, I am still just as excited as I was back then and cannot wait for the CD and tour. I still have my “Hangin’ Tough” Tour Jacket among other things. Once a “blockhead”, always a “blockhead”. My 9 yr. old dtr. recently discovered my videos of NKOTB and is a fan now. ;0) Congrats on the reunion and best wishes to you all!!

Thank you for given us the fans this opportunity!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:46 am
Jordan, Jon, Joey, Donnie, and Danny… Welcome back! I am so completely thrilled that you have all decided to do this. I feel like a 13-year-old girl again waiting for the big concert with butterflies and cheeks that hurt because I cannot stop smiling. You are all so talented; I know that when your new album comes out, it is going to be amazing. I can’t wait! I will be first in line to buy it because I know without a doubt… with all of you collaborating and calling the shots, it will be a knockout. I may not have your pictures plastered on my walls anymore, but I am a forever fan. I still find myself humming “Funky Christmas” at Christmas time or “Please, Don’t Go Girl” for no reason at all! For days now, “Hangin’ Tough” has been on the brain! I think it is great that you will be singing all of those hits again too because even though we have all moved on in our lives, gotten married and had children, those songs represent something to all of us… our childhood dreams or that first kiss. They represent something special that became part of who we are today. Thank you for that. Thank you for coming back together again and for remembering us, your fans. Because one thing is certain… we have never forgotten you!

April 4th, 2008 at 4:00 am
I was so excited when I heard you guys were back. I was a young teenager when I started listening to your music. It was great back then and I’m sure it will be great now. Glad to see you all back together!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:00 am
great stuff!
nkotb returns!
your last album in 1994 was an absolute classic, just a shame it was too far ahead of its time, blending r&b with pop and hip hop.
come on wahlberg! you and little bro are already great actors,
some new music will be amazing!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:02 am
I am glad to see that you all are coming back. I have always loved your music and I am excited to hear how your sound has changed because you are now more mature. I wish you all the best luck in the future, and hopefully I will be able to attend a concert this time around. ~ Good luck with hugs and kisses!!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:03 am
So well written! I am looking forward to the new music and an exciting fall!
Good luck and THANKS!

I could not be more thrilled to hear the news of an NKOTB reunion! I never stopped loving you guys and held on to everything from my concert tshirt to a NKOTB lunchbox I got as a gift and I just turned 36. I know you will not disappoint - just tell me when and where and I’m there (of course with all my other highschool girlfriends who loved you guys!) Best of luck - CAN’T WAIT!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:12 am
I am so excited that you guys are all doing this together and not just a few of you living for the glory years of the past. I never had the opportunity to see you in concert the first time, so I can’t wait to get tickets for your new show and to hear your new music! It’s a such a blessing to see a group of celebrities that are truly grounded with family and values. I hope that doesn’t change!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:12 am
I am so excited about this tour!!! I am still such a fan and can not wait!!! Us girls already have our night out planned!! The guys are hotter then ever and I know that my friends and I are really excited!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:17 am
Great new about the cd and fall tour. Can’t wait till you come to Philadelphia!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:19 am
I am SO excited, and so proud of these guys. Sounds like everyone’s heads and hearts are in the right place, and that alone makes for a great show. I still listen to my cassette tapes and can not WAIT to hear the new stuff, or to ‘meet’ everyone as men. My birthday is in October… I know how I’ll be celebrating this year!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:20 am
Hell yeah! I am so ready for this!
Best Wishes!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Thank you Guys!!! Please consider coming down to Melbourne, Australia. I was a fan of yours from the time I was 10 and now, 20 years later I still sing along to your music. I would love to see you guys live.
April 4th, 2008 at 4:26 am
I love this pic here in the blog section. Can you please put it in the Download section? Thank you soooooooooo much. I am sooooo happy you guys are back. I missed you sooooooooo much. I am sooooo forward to the new memories you are going to give to me. Thank you.

“And I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.”
I’m not sure how accurate this quote is, but it’s great to read! It was nice being an 8-year-old with extreme NKOTB Hysteria, but the truth is, although I had a massive crush on Donnie, I didn’t get a whole lot of out the music. Don’t get me wrong - I loved the songs - but when a fellow fan asked me, “how did the New Kids impact your life?”, I didn’t have much to say. Basically, I thought Donnie was cute, so I listened to their music.
I love the old favourites. The songs are light and fun, and I’ve been listening to them since I was 5, because it’s nice music and brings wonderful memories. I’m 25 now, and that kind of fanaticism has pretty much gone by the wayside. I’m looking forward to new music that will be meaningful for who I am today, and truly leave a lasting impact. It would be the best to see the New Kids woven into history as a band who made it twice, because they did it the proper and noble way.

I’m 25 now, and that kind of fanaticism has pretty much gone by the wayside. I’m looking forward to new music that will be meaningful for who I am today, and truly leave a lasting impact. It would be wonderful to see the New Kids woven into history as a band who made it twice, because they did it the proper and noble way.

April 4th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Well said Donnie and Joey!! Cannot wait to hear the new material, loved what the little bit I heard in January!! Good luck to all of you, and can’t wait to see you in Detroit!! Karrie xoxo
April 4th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Thank YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for sharing this story with us. All those years of being a NK nostaligia fan on the web, chatting and exchanging pix and stories with other diehards from all over the world kept us going even though you guys were disbanded. We all hoped and even prayed for this day to come–never really believing it would happend ’cause you guys were so convincing about the “never.”
Donnie’s quote had me in tears. It’s about “redemption” for the fans. Thank you! I know I was and still am crazy for the NKOTB and your music. My heart never strayed! Thank you for coming back!!!! YOU guys won’t regret it!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:46 am
congratulations to all of you. i hope that you all can fit Australia into your tour. i cant wait to hear all your new songs i feel like that little girl i knew a long time ago singing and dancing to all those great songs.
love francesca xxxxx

We all hoped and even prayed for this day to come–never really believing it would happend ’cause you guys were so convincing about the “never.”
Donnie’s quote had me near tears. It’s about “redemption” for the fans. Thank you! I know I was and still am crazy for the NKOTB and your music. I always voiced my devotion with pride at every age–high school, college years,and as a married woman at 31. My heart never strayed.
Thank you soo much for coming back!! You guys won’t regret it. We will be there! Lovin’ you forever!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:50 am

April 4th, 2008 at 5:04 am

April 4th, 2008 at 5:09 am

April 4th, 2008 at 5:16 am
I think they are even hotter than back in the day! I’m glad they’re back. I wish them well! :o)
April 4th, 2008 at 5:17 am
This is so sweet. I can’t wait to hear the new album. All your talents combined with all those talentend song writers and producers, it’s going to be a hit. Bring it on LOL
April 4th, 2008 at 5:18 am
Excellent! This news got me all nostalgic and excited to hear what your new stuff sounds like! Welcome back guys!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:19 am
I am soooooo happy!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:23 am
I THINK IT IS AWESOME!! CAN NOT WAIT TO GO SEE YOU GUYS IN CONCERT ONCE AGAIN!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:26 am
OMG!!! I have heard the rumors and have been keeping an eye out for more information. To hear it is finally true is wonderful. I am so glad NKOTB is getting back together. I saw both concerts in St. Louis back in the day and still have the concert T-Shirt. My 12 year old daughters wears it now…lol. Both my 12 year old and my 7 year old know their music as I still keep their CD in my car and listen to it regularly. I played the old cassette until it wore out and got it on CD as soon as it was available. I am now 34 years old and can’t wait to see them again!!! Way to go NKOTB!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:26 am
For years I’ve said that if the New Kids ever come back for a reunion tour that I will be there. And I will! I forgot how wonderful it is to feel so excited in the deepest part of my heart. Thank you guys for coming back and showing us why we all fell in love with your music those years ago.
April 4th, 2008 at 5:29 am
I have waited since I was 18 years old for this day to come!
My friends and I heard the rumors and have been waiting with our fingers crossed! You better believe it will be a “Girls’ Night Out”! This time around we have real jobs, not babysitting money, so we will travel wherever we have to for a seat!
Congrats, guys! If you’re 1/2 half as good now as when you walked away 15 years ago, you’ll “reinvent” the boy band!! AND…I am hoping to start a whole new generation of fans when I bring my 9-year daughters and her friends, too! Welcome Back!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:37 am
I can not wait guys! Just saw you on Today and it was like I was 12 all over again, lol … Much luck for the best success with the new album!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:40 am
Welcome Back Guys!!! It’s about time!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:41 am
I cant wait… Hurry Up and Tour!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:46 am
Praise the Lord!! i have been missing these guys~they WERE my teenage years! woohoo! can’t wait for the tour!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Jordan, Jon, Joey, Donnie, and Danny… Welcome back! I am so completely thrilled that you have all decided to do this. I feel like a 13-year-old girl again waiting for the big concert with butterflies and cheeks that hurt because I cannot stop smiling. You are all so talented; I know that when your new album comes out, it is going to be amazing. I can’t wait! I will be first in line to buy it because I know without a doubt… with all of you collaborating and calling the shots, it will be a knockout. I may not have your pictures plastered on my walls anymore, but I am a forever fan. I still find myself humming “Funky Christmas” at Christmas time or “Please, Don’t Go Girl” for no reason at all! For days now, “Hangin’ Tough” has been on the brain! I think it is great that you will be singing all of those hits again too because even though we have all moved on in our lives, gotten married and had children, those songs represent something to all of us… our childhood dreams or that first kiss. They represent something special that became part of who we are today. Thank you for that. Thank you for coming back together again and for remembering us, your fans. Because one thing is certain… we have never forgotten you!
~ Janine
PS you were awesome on today!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:53 am
I’ve been waiting for this moment since 1992!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:54 am
OMG. I can’t wait!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:56 am
I’m very happy to go back in time with you all! Can’t wait to go to your concert
Please come to Japan!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:59 am
I could not be more excited about this news. I woke up earlier than usual to watch the Today show just to make sure it was true, and to see it directly from you guys. There are a bunch of people who are more than excited to see you guys on tour. I’m excited for you guys to prove all the haters wrong, there are far more positives than negatives and it will just continue to get better. Good luck guys!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:01 am
I think this is amazing and all of you look great! Thanks for coming back and being devoted! I know you’ll be an inspiration to many!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:01 am
It’s hard to believe that the New Kids are back. I have such amazing memories of attending concerts, buying magazines and plastering my walls with all the posters I could find. To say that I’m happy would be an understatement. I’ve always followed each of the guys and their post New Kids endeavers and now the thought of getting to see them again…together again…is AWESOME! I can’t wait. I may be 30, but I’m still a Block Head…tride and true! Long live New Kids…I can’t wait!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:05 am
I can not explain how exciting this is! It has been a long wait but im sure it will be absolutly worth it! I just hope you bring the show to Australia!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:06 am
I am so glad you guys are back together!! Congrats on all the success you had in previous years, and for the years to come. I can’t wait to hear the new stuff and where you’ll be touring.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:07 am
It’ll Be so nice to see you guys again! We are all very excited and thrilled for your return and wish you great success!!
A True Fan,
Jackie
April 4th, 2008 at 6:10 am
I just watched you guys on the Today show. OMG! I felt like I was 12 again! I saw all the buttons and shirts, and then you guys came out from behind that curtain. I was like a giddy little girl again. You guys will be back on the Today show again on May 19th for your first concert..WOW!! That struck a cord with me, because my dad’s b-day is May 21. He took me to see you guys as a b-day present all those years ago. I remember seeing Donnie waving to my side of the stage and telling my dad, “OMG Donnie just waved at me!!” Now, my dad is in the advanced stages of prostate cancer. He started chemo a couple weeks ago. His oncologist has given him 9 months to one year to live. My sisters and I shaved him bald so it wouldn’t be such a shock to him when his hair starts falling out. If he’s feeling up to it and wants to, maybe I’ll see if we can come see you guys in NYC. That would be amazing. He, one of my girlfriends, and I went to NYC for my 25th b-day, because I had always wanted to see the Macy’s parade in person. Maybe he’ll be up for this…not just for me or his birthday..but for another priceless memory. I love you guys. You have been such a staple to so many people’s lives..their history. I am so excited to see what is to come for you all.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:14 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That’s all I can say. I am really looking forward to seeing you ALL in concert again. When I hear your old songs “I’ll be Loving You”, “Please Don’t Go Girl”, “Hangin Tough”…and on and on and on…I get such a nostalgic feeling. I can’t wait to see you all LIVE in Philly. I know my heart will pitter patter just as it did when I was 13 years old hanging over the railing at the Spectrum! What a great experience it will be…all over again!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:17 am
I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! Thank you so much. I have loved new kids since I was 10!!!!! I feel like a kid again, I wonder if my husband would mind if I hang up some posters on our bedroom walls
April 4th, 2008 at 6:19 am
OMG OMG OMG! How is it possible that 20 years later I’m suddenly feeling the same teenage excitement?! I’ve still got the old tapes (egad, tapes!!) and videos stuck in storage, a closeted NKOTB fan. I’m psyched to revist the past and ready to get in on the redemption! We’ve taken a lot of abuse as fans… kiss a** for us guys!
P.S. I love J.M.’s quote about the fans “and very legal” — ah, the memories!
Doesn’t all of this just make you smile?
April 4th, 2008 at 6:22 am
OMG! Please come to Michigan! We love you guys!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:24 am
I can’t wait! Yes, we’re all a little older, and certainly wiser now - but the spirit of what these guys have to offer is obviously still there. My boss and I were sitting in our office yesterday singing a few of our favorite NKOTB hits! After all of these years, they’re still not forgotten. We’re stoked.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:29 am
All I know is…. 40 never looked SO good!
Happy to see you all back. I can’t WAIT for the concert! Can I bring my old NKOTB Barbie dolls? Lol
Sincerely,
Melissa
April 4th, 2008 at 6:29 am
Welcome back guys!!! When I listen to the old stuff it makes me smile. I enjoyed most of your music back then, and I am sure I will enjoy the new stuff today. Both my wife, and I are very excited to hear your new stuff. After reading your post here I am grateful that you guys are taking the time to create and seriously present music that will come from the heart. I have to tell you watching you guys on the Today show this morning made me remember how much I love music. There is so much nonsense out there in the main stream music industry, and I realize that sells records, but I have a gut feeling that this new record will be music that will finially define NKOTB. Thanks for staying true to yourselves and I can’t wait to buy the new record! Welcome Back!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:30 am
I am so excited that NKOTB is reuniting! I think the last time I went to your concert, I was 6 and my sister was 10. Now at 23 and 27, we are very excited to go and see a more mature NKOTB, with hopefully, some of the old stuff!!
I really hope you tour in Canada and specifically in Winnipeg!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:33 am
thank you thank you thank you, can’t wait for the tour stop in South Florida ;)… love you guys! You looked great today on the Today Show!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:38 am
OMG! I am so excited. When I was young and you guys came to Struthers field house I didnt get to see you and I cried all night! You better believe I am coming out to see you now!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Ohhh my gosh…i almost have tears in my eyes….
Reading that was just……..ahhh…. it’s absoloutely amazing to know the guys actually want to do this for themselves and most importantly for US… and they know we still love them despite the huge gap of them being away…..
NKOTB were big then now they’re gonna be BIGGER…!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:43 am
We, your fans, are soo happy you are coming back.
You guys look great and we are sure you will still sound great.
Can’t wait to hear the new album!!
We love you guys!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:45 am
WOW…that was a great introduction for what is to come. Now I really hope you guys head this way (Sydney, Nova Scotia) so that your fans here (Atlantic Canada) get to experience this too. Cheers, and welcome back! - Continued fan since 1985.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:48 am
I just wanted to say that i’ve followed you guys since I was about 10 years old. I’m now 31 years old and I’m gonna be following you guys again until you deside that you’ve had enough. Now, back in the day my pillows had all of your faces on them, this time around i’m probably not gonna be that crazy. I don’t think my husband would enjoy that(lol). But I’ll be waitting to hear that you’ll be touring in our area. Best of luck in your endeavers.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:50 am
I have a ton of great memories from the 80’s and 90’s. But what I am looking forward to the most is the new album. Sure the old sings are classic but looking ahead to what is to come is so exciting! Good luck guys! And go Celtics!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I love the NKOTB even though I did not grew up with their music. When these “boys” were taking over the world with their music I was playing with my Barbie dolls. And when they quit in 1994 I had not yet discovered any other music than my parents music.
With the arrival of my birthday in 1995 I received a CD player. Now I started to realize that the world of music was so much more than old music from the early 80´s and late 70´s. The Backstreet boys became my new music…
But on the same time I started to discover this amazing band.
And I have even to this day been a fan of the NKOTB, even though the arrival of both my teens, and ofcourse the arrival of dogs into the family who used my cds as their chewtoys, the band were still a large part of my life.
I am so happy for their comeback and Im dreaming of being able to meet them one day!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:51 am
iam so happy and delighted to hear that NKOTB is ‘coming’ back. Ive been your fans since i was young. Surely i’m looking forward for u guys’ album. way the go boy!or shall i say MEN..Welcome Back!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:53 am
[...] more info about them, go here. This is a stat that will make you feel old. Hangin’ Tough was released 20 years ago, but [...]
April 4th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Guys, your comeback was the best news so far! Please stop by in Cologne, Germany when you’re on tour. You know, the German fans won’t dissapoint you!
Hope to see you soon - live in concert, looking great as always!
Best,
Claudia
April 4th, 2008 at 6:56 am
I just can’t seem to find the words to explain in full how I am feeling about this reunion. I am very excited, mostly to hear the new music, I am a little melancholy for some reason as jumping into this adventure pulls attention to the fact that my youth is gone and missed. I await the first bar of that first song of the concert, for that moment I will feel like I am 16 years old again and every adult worry will melt away, even if just for a few hours.
I saw Jordan in concert a few years ago and I was blown away but the emotion that surfaced when he stepped out on stage. Such a freedom, everything melted away. A short lived fountain of youth I guess, it was a fantastic night. I can’t imagine the magic with all 5 of them together…can’t wait guys and thank you.
PS Please hit Vancouver Canada…I just can’t miss this.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:57 am
here’s a message from a girl in Holland;
YESSSSSSSSS!!!! I’m sooooooooo happy you guys are back!!! Really hope you will tour the Netherlands!
When you guys came the first time to the Netherlands I couldn’t go to your concert, ’cause my mom thought I was too young (I was 11 or something :D), but, like you guys, all grown up (29, next monday)I can decide for myself if I will go, and yes! If you guys come to Holland I will be there!
Love you guys, it’s great to have you back!!
Lot’s of love, Joyce, The Netherlands. XOXOX
April 4th, 2008 at 6:57 am
I absolutely CANNOT WAIT. Please come to Michigan. Or Chicago! Or both!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:58 am
“Our fans are between 25 and 35 now because they were really young then. They’re still very attractive — and very legal. So it’s going to be a girls night out. I know my wife’s going to be there every step of the way, but it’s still going to be fun.”
TOO Funny and VERY true! I’m stoked!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:04 am
I am so psyched for you guys right now this is awesome. I loved you guys as a child and now at 29 love you guys as adults. I have bought the albums in between that Jordan and Joe have put out and I have seen all of Donnie’s movies (personally Annapolis is my favorite). Can’t wait to see you guys when you come to upstate New York!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:04 am
I’m so excited I can’t even explain it. I’m 28, I’ll be 29 in October and have been a fan since I was 9. I truly never thought this would happen. I was on youtube a few months ago and looked you up just to see what there was. I was amazed to see how many people felt the same way I did. I didn’t get to see you in concert when I was a kid, so I’m can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am now to finally have a chance to see you live. Oh yeah and pleas come to Illinois, Peoria or Chicago….:)
See you soon.
Love ya,
Stephanie
April 4th, 2008 at 7:09 am
Yay!!! I still listen to my New Kids tapes. I am so excited for them to come back!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:10 am
ive waited a long time for this…and after hearing the rumors, i optimistically waited for them to announce that it was true…a lot of the aspects of my life today are because of NKOTB…being a fan since the late 80s, through NKOTB i found one of my passions in life that gave me the greatest memories…because of that, and all their hit records back then, ive remained a fan since and even through the hiatus…trust that ill be at a concert when they pass through MD/DC/VA…respect
April 4th, 2008 at 7:12 am
I’m so excited to see you guys back together!! You have all been a very instrumental part of my growing up years, and for that..I thank you for your music. I still have all of my NKOTB memorabilia up in the attic…time to take it back out!
Good luck with everything, I’m so excited for all of you!
~Erin
April 4th, 2008 at 7:50 am
All I have to say is FANTASTIC!!!!
I’m so excited my boys are coming back! I have such great memories of a little girl listening to NKOTB!!!
Love ya guys!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Hey guys,
Just wanted to know if there was any word on when the tour is starting and will you be coming to Ireland and if not what dates will you be playing in England.Welcome back
April 4th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Soooooo Excited! I am 32 now, and I am just as pumped now, as when I was 14!
I am taking my 13 yr old daughter with me, so she can see what use to consume my time when I was her age! Good Luck to you guys! I am sure you will sell out everywhere you go! And Cleveland better be on your tour!
April 4th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Bring It!! We are ready for this guys!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:11 am

April 4th, 2008 at 9:26 am

April 4th, 2008 at 9:27 am
all i can say guys is don you rock. and ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!
ps. great to see jon happy dan, you know what you did.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I’m so excited for this! I will be at one of the concerts for sure. Welcome back guys, we missed you!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:31 am
OMG! I have not been this excited about anything, since I was 12 years old watching, doing, talking, and listening to everything NKOTB…I still have my Jordan doll! =) Good Times, Great memories, great music, my husband is a huge Donnie fan and he found out through me about the old NKOTB days !!! I can’t wait for the new album! Love you guys!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I’m so excited about this reunion. I’m now 30, and am so happy I’m going to be able to see the New Kids on the Block again in concert. Can’t wait for the tour dates to come out!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I love hearing that the five of you are back together again! My daughter, who is the same age I was when I got my first New Kids album, came to me not too long ago to tell me about this really cool new band that she had heard about. When she told me it was the New Kids I couldn’t help but smile and then grab my box that had everything from posters to the fedora. I think she was a little more than surprised. We are both looking forward to the new tour. Good luck guys and welcome back. I know you will sound as wonderful now as you did then.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:40 am
I CAN’T WAIT….LOVE THIS! GOOD LUCK GUYS…BRING SOME OLD SCHOOL BACK TO THE GAME…..
April 4th, 2008 at 9:40 am
I am so thrilled! I can’t wait. I will be first in line to buy a ticket.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Welcome back.
This is beautifully written, and I’m glad to see it here. When I first heard you were reuniting I was cynical about the rationale behind this project, though I hoped it was about the music and your affection for one another. Thank you for supporting my faith, and thank you for returning when so many people I grew up with need to have the escape and the fantasy return, if only for a little while.
I wish you the very best as you pursue your new adventure.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:43 am
April 4th, 2008 at 9:50 am
CRAZY!! I can’t believe you guys are coming back. All of my friends and I are so excited! I was in elementary school and early middle school when I was head-over-heels for you guys. Now, I’m a high school teacher and I still screamed on the phone when my then “NKOTB concert buddy” called me and told me the news. I sure hope you guys come through Texas, but if you don’t, rest assured that I’ll fly to see the boy band that ruled my heart so many years ago. Congratulations, guys and godspeed!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:51 am
Unbelievable!!!!
It was such a great feeling to hear you’re back!
I’m not the little girl I was when you were playing on the world radio (specially here in Brasil)… but I’m happy and amazed for having that magic feeling back!
I have so many memories about it all!!!!!!
I even studied English cause I dreamt about ‘visiting Boston and meeting the NKOT”.
Great!!!! I speak English now and I visited Boston (a dream came true) in 1996… and even though I never met you as most tennagers of that time dreamt about… I kept you all inside my heart for all this years!!!!
Hope to listen to you on the radio, now that I’m 32 years old, and feel as if I were 16 again!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Daniela.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:51 am
So glad you guys are back! Can’t wait to see you in Toronto!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
all I can say it this………………WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
April 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
ive been waiting for so long for this reunion…after hearing the rumors, i am glad to finally hear it straight from all five guys that its official…ive been a fan since the late 80s through all their hit records and even during their hiatus…being a NKOTB fan since back in the day made me realize one of greatest passions…this resulted in many many experiences and memories throughout my life…through the good, bad and now this reunion and new cd, ill forever be a NKOTB fan [and thats hard for a guy to say]!…i thank them from the bottom of my heart for the inspiration and wish them much continued success…trust and believe ill be at their concert when they come around MD/DC/VA…respect
April 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Is anyone else COMPLETELY PSYCHED that the New Kids are getting back together??? I’ve been a fan since ‘88 when “Please Don’t Go Girl” came out, but NEVER got the chance to see them in person. They came to our town in ‘89 but I had to work. I’ll DEFINTELY be at the “Today” show on May 16th when they perform for the first time since ‘94! GO, NEW KIDS!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:53 am
I am SO excited for these guys to be back together. When I heard that there would be a concert, I imediately called my mom and said “I don’t care how much I have to pay, I am going to that show” and she told me I needed to get my priorities in line. I said “don’t worry mom, they are”.
Thank you for rejuvinating the little girl inside me!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I’m at a loss for words…
April 4th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE TOUR. THIS IS THE BEST ANNOUNCEMENT I’VE HEARD IN AGES.
April 4th, 2008 at 9:58 am
You should probably COME TO CANADA!!!!
May I suggest Calgary?!

I have never been so excited in my life! New Kids was the first Concert I ever went to. I texted everyone I know the minuted i heard it was true!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:03 am
I’ve been anxiously anticipating the reunion on the Today Show… all week long I’ve felt like a little kid again as I was looking forward to Friday morning. There are few things in my life that take me back to my childhood as much as NKOTB does. I think my parents and sister have genuinely been happy to hear me as excited as I was this week (and my boyfriend just couldn’t understand). In the midst of the stresses of my student loans, my car breaking down this week, the multiple presentations I did for work, and burning the midnight oil in my office, it was nice to feel like a teen again as I anticipated NKOTB’s reunion. And to Donnie’s comment about wanting redemption for the fans — thank you!! I’m a diverse music lover - everything from Queen, The Roots, Gypsy Kings, Billy Joel, Wu-Tang… and I’ve never doubted NKOTB’s talent. Sometimes people DO make me feel a little crazy for the fact that every now and then I pop in an old NKOTB cd… but I realize I’m not. So the posters and the t-shirts were a little excessive when I was 12, but at 29, I’m still proud to be a fan of 5 pretty amazingly, talented men…
April 4th, 2008 at 10:04 am
We are soooo looking forward to this reunion.My best friend,my tow cousins and myself have ALWAYS been huge fans! Good luck to you boys,can’t wait to buy your new CD and see ya on your tour!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:04 am
I have been waiting for this day for soooooooo long. About 5 years ago, Boston.com had posted something on April 1st that say the New Kids on the Block were coming back. It turned out to be an April fools joke and I was so upset. When I first heard about a reunion this time, I didn’t believe it. Didn’t want to get my hopes up. I’m still a fan and so is the majority of my family. We have been waiting for this moment…..always having faith. I just knew in my heart that this day would come eventually….and, it’s FINALLY here! I have no doubt that it will be worth the wait. People have asked me, “what are you going to do if they don’t play in Boston”. Are you kidding me?? Being originally from Dorchester, MA myself…..this is HUGE! As you know, the New Kids are from Boston! Of course they have to play here! I can speak for myself, along with many others that I know and say “Welcome Back Donny, Danny, Jordon, Jonathan and Joey”!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Here’s to hoping the snowball heads toward New Jersey! I’m ridiculously excited to hear the new sound, and wish you all the luck in the world.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:05 am
New Guys! Hey I wish you the very best on your upcoming tour and You are the original great group that had a great impact and now that your men with experience I know you can drop some good sound. Donnie, you stayed true to the fellas even with your awesome acting career. Hope you guys stay close throughout life , cause thats what it’s about and you have a bond.
Great things coming….

I’ve loved you guys since 1988. I still proudly call myself a New Kids fan to this day! Can’t wait for the new album and the tour!! And like Joe said we are legal now!! You guys still are H-O-T HOT!!You’ve totally made my day today. Thanks guys!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:09 am
This is nuts! I am soooooooo sooooo excited! I can’t even describe the feeling! My heart was pounding when I saw the Today show. This is bringing back amazing memories. I never thought at 32, happily maerried with 3 girls that I would be reliving my childhood. I am soooooo camping out to get tickets. My Daughters are going to crack up! Somethings will never change. My girls are going to soon find out how wild their mommy really is! How funny that I swore up and down that I was going to marry Joey Mac! I really thought I was madly in love with him and we were meant to be. That’s the innocence of childhood. It’s priceless.
CONGRATS guys!!! Can’t wait to listen to your music!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Welcome back!
Looking forward to the new album and tour!
Keep On, Keepin’ On!

April 4th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I am glad to hear that they are back! I used to be so in love with Donnie! I remember going to their concert in Detroit @ The Palace 1989 and I cried because I didn’t get pulled up on stage when they sang “Cover Girl”. (Every time Donnie sung that sung he would pick a lil girl from the audience and pull her up)Hopefully my dream will still come true..lol( You never know)

Hey Guys,
I’m so excited you have reunited!! I’ve been an NKOTB fan since day one. Even when everyone told me the 90’s were over, i was still a fan. I cant wait to hear the new music & hopefully make it to a show.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Can’t wait to see you guys in Phoenix!!! Woo Hoo!!! At this very moment in time, I don’t think I have ever been more proud to be a Bostonian!! Looking forward to the new album!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Can’t wait…
April 4th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Congrats!!!!! Me and my girlfriends are sooooo excited. It has been along time and we all told ourselves that if you guys made a come back “THAT WE’RE SO THERE” Can’t wait till we see you, it will truley be a GIRLS NIGHT OUT well deserved for many ladies.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:16 am
NKOTB are the right stuff.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:17 am
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!! Dream come true!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:18 am
FINALLY!!!!! I am a 30 yo male, who first heard the New Kids when I was in the 4th grade, I have followed them through everything. Just like the New Kids I have three children of my own, I am proud to say they have experienced the New Kids music from day one they to all their songs and are just as excited as me to see them back on stage putting on the best mix of song and dance moves ever! Can’t wait New Kids, welcome back, you have been missed but never forgotten!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:26 am
As I’m sure all your fans have told you, we are all so excited to see you guys back at it.
I’ve followed, or at least tried to follow, all of you throughout the past 15 years and couldn’t be more thrilled to see you together again!
My 10th birthday was spent at my very first concert (yours) in Orlando, FL and I’m hoping my 30th (this October) will be spent at your new tour in or near Baton Rouge, La.
Can’t wait to hear your new music and see live, all the music I’ve been listening to over the last 10 yrs.!
So Glad you’re back!
Love,
Nikki
April 4th, 2008 at 10:28 am
It’s great to have you all back!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:29 am
I’m so excited for this! I can’t wait to hear the new songs, and reminice about the “good old days” when I was way younger, and IN LOVE with the New Kids! YAY!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:29 am
This was a complete surprise to me, but I can’t wait to hear what wonderful music they guys have! Everyone of them is talented so I KNOW this album is going to be great! I am a huge fan, and along with so many others, still am. I am so happy for the guys and can’t wait to hear the wonderful music they have made!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I am glad to hear you guys wil be getting back into the music world. Music is what it’s all about and as I heard in a recent movie you can never give up on your music becasue no matter what life throws at you, you know you can always depend on your music to make you feel better. I wish you the best and I will be one of the first to go out and by the new record and tickets to your concerts :o)

This is soooooooo GREAT!!!
My cousin and I are hugeeeeeeee fans!!
It’s so funny because just 3 weeks ago we were shopping at Best Buy and I was checking out and she came up to the counter with a huge smile on her face, I said What? she said just wait til we get to the car and when we got in her car she put the new CD she had just bought in and it was NKOTB!!!! We drove around for hours just listening and remembering !! we felt like kids again!! And now they are reuniting and on TOUR!!!
WE ARE SOOOOOOO EXCITED !!!

Welcome back guys!!! Thanx for doing this to the fans! Hope you’ll include the Philippines in your tour. This is going to be huge!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:36 am
this is a sick april fools joke, correct?
April 4th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Let’s just hope that they consult with the group “New Edition” and be professional on stage. New Edition does a great concert, singing almost exactly and performing (Group Dancing, etc.) as they did in the 80’s. That brings back alot of memories for the fans, and introduces the new crowd of fans to a nastalgic performance.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:38 am
This is so amazing that after all these years they’re really coming back . I never thought that this would happen . My kids are so excited for me they’ve been playing the c.d’s and laughing at me singing all the songs , but what’s even more funny is that they are only 9 and 12 years old and know all the songs . My kids can not wait to see New Kids in concert and sometimes I think they’re more excited than I am . Thanks for doing this for all the old time fans we love you .
April 4th, 2008 at 10:38 am
This is soooooooooo GREAT!!!
My cousin and I absolutely LOVE NKOTB
It’s funny because her and I were out shopping about 3 weeks ago and as I was checking out she came up to me with a huge smile on her face, I said What? and she said just wait till we get to the car, so when we got in the car she put a new cd that she had just bought in, and it was NKOTB!!!! I was so excited, we drove around for hourssssss till late in the night just listening and remembering, we felt like kids again and now they are reuniting and going on TOUR!!!!!! WE ARE SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!
WE LOVE YOU NKOTB!!!!!!

I am soooo excited this is happening. Over here in the uk, when new kids left, boyzone and take that started, they then all split, but take that reformed a year ago, and they are not just still a hot group, their music is great(even my husband agrees!!). I am sure you guys can do the same thing, even not better, your music meant alot to myself, and millions of others, so it is great you are going to do this on your own terms in your own time, hopefully you will be here to stay for a while, i will be first in the queue when you come to London. Good Luck guys, not sure you will need it though, nearly everybody i know is talking about the reunion, so the buzz is already happening!!!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I am so EXCITED that the news is true! When I first heard I said No Way because I have waited for this since the Face the Music album came out. I had to record the Today show this morning because I was at work (I felt like a kid at school again!) and I can’t wait to see you all back together! I have every one of your albums on my iPod and until last Christmas when my tape popped I listened to your Merry Merry Christmas album while wrapping gifts on Christmas Eve. Now I just listen to it on my iPod. I also have your videos and my 15 year old sister has found the same love for you guys that I have. This is the best news EVER for me and I look forward to catchng you live on tour in my town just as I did when I was a kid only this time with my sister!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:42 am
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

April 4th, 2008 at 10:44 am
I CAN NOT WAIT for the tour!!!!! I agree with the post below mine “Once a Blockhead, always a Blockhead” I am so excited and happy ,my friends and I are already getting ready to buy tickets, one good thing about it being 20 years later is that we don’t have sleep outside of venues for tickets! Thanks to the internet getting tickets will be alot more comfortable!
Again I’m glad the wait is over and can’t wait to see all 5 of “the boys” doing what they have always done best!

I’m so thrilled that you guys are getting back together!! I’ve been a fan ever since I was little! I have all my NKOTB stuff from back then! I have the first two albums, but on cassette though. *LOL* Talk about old school….. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to see NKTOB in concert, so please come to Texas so I can can! You guys getting back together has made me feel like a giddy little girl again even though I’m 26 now! Thank you so much for this joy! NKTOB forever!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:46 am
great news! can’t wait to see you all perform and hear your new music! am sure all of your fans will support you.
April 4th, 2008 at 11:08 am
NKOTB was the 1st concert (many followed) that I took my lil sister to…she was 11 & I was 21…twenty years later we are hoping to go to one of the Reuinion shows & will be bringing her lil girl, my niece, who is 10…I guess it all comes full circle…and above all, as a singer/songwriter myself, I am ecstatic that the guys are really digging in & writing new material themselves…can’t wait to hear the end result…

Welcome back!!! We missed you. I’m so excited to hear this news. I hope you guys come to Chicago. I woke up very early this morning and was even late for work just to get a chance to see you on TV. It was great to see that all of you are doing great and look better than ever. You left on a positive note and are coming back to a group of fans that never forgot about you guys. I can’t wait to see you in concert. This time, I’m paying for my own tickets and inviting all my friends, family and even my boyfriend to come see you. Good luck!
April 4th, 2008 at 11:27 am
This is for Donnie. I hope your family is well. You would not remember us but I do recall a chance meeting with a sibling of yours, your sister Tracy. It was a long time a good.
This is for Joey
It is great to see you getting back together. The last time I saw you perform was at the Avalon in Boston and a cousin of my own, caught Joey walking out the door and kissed him right where he was standing.
I am glad to see that you are all doing well and will be coming back with a new album. It will be nice to see the growth in this album since life experience I am sure will play a part to this
Welcome Back

“No, I want this to be redemption — but not for us,” Wahlberg explains. “I want it to be redemption for the fans. I want them to feel entertained, to feel treated to something special. And I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.”
And people dare to wonder why we’re so loyal? I love you guys, can’t wait to get this party started!
April 4th, 2008 at 11:48 am
I am so incredibly happy to see you all back again!! I’ve been a fan for a long time, and knew someday we’d see you back together! Never got rid of anything of yours! I will go wherever I need to go to see you guys perform again!
I think its amazing that you all can come together again and just pick up where you left off! I can’t wait to hear your new stuff. It’ll definetly go in my iPod with your old stuff (which I’ve had in there since 2004!!)
My VERY best to you all! Good luck & God Bless!

April 4th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
This is crazy!!!! I love NKOTB!!!!…for some reason you all still got me trippin!!!! When i found out that possibly you all might be reuniting, i called my girlfriend to tell her and we still get excited about you guys…We are those crazy fans that drove to Boston to try and meet you and went to every concert within the nearest states…we love you!!! And after kids, marriage etc, we will still be hittin up your shows!! ha
April 4th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I am thrilled beyond belief to know you’re back after all these years! I feel like a teenager again and I’m now 30 years old. I was a huge fan way back when and still “I’ll Be Loving You Forever”!
LOL I hope you’ll be coming to the Western New York Area on tour. I can’t wait to hear the new album!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Wohooo christmas DIDDDDD come early!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
You have no idea how excited I am about this! Please come to Cleveland Ohio! Or anywhere in Ohio for that matter! No matter what, I will be going to one of those concerts!!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Im so excited that nkotb is back together!! i love them back in the day and i still love em now!! this is going to be awesome i just know it!! i remember listenting to their music, having an nkotb t-shirt and those huge pins, with their pictures on it. yeah i was totally obsessed lol nkotb will forever rock!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I was estatic when I heard that NKOTB were reuniting and going out on tour. I’m looking forward to watching and hearing you guys perform the songs that put you on the map - but I’m equally as excited to hear how you have evolved and changed as musicians. Love you guys!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
i am so glad you guys are back. i saw you in concert when i was 13years old. i am 32 now and looking forward to your new album.
April 4th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I have only one word to say… RESPECT!!!
Ps. Hope you’ll come to Europe.. maybe finally Poland?? <:P ok, ok.. Ireland, Germany or UK can be as well ;-P
April 4th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
I am SOOO excited!! My GF thinks I’m crazy, but when the tour is announced, I’m scooping up the best seats I can get. I’ve somewhat followed the careers of the guys who are still out and about in show business (Donnie with his acting and Jordan & Joe with their music) and have been eagerly anticipating this moment. You have no idea how happy you’ve made me! Thank you so much!
April 4th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Hearing about this reunion has taken me back to my youth. I was around 10 years old when I first started to listen to the New Kids on the Block and I became one of their biggest fans. I went to every single concert you guys held here in Dallas and I can’t wait to see you at the reunion tour - this has been a long time coming. The first time I told my mom that the guys were getting back together and going on tour, she was like, “oh good, you’re old enough now where I don’t have to go with you.” Don’t get me wrong, she loved you just as much, but she always had to wear earplugs because of all the screaming girls. My friends at work like to make fun of me becauase I have been so excited about this since the first time I heard. Your fans have grown with you and you will make new fans extremely happy, as you did us when we were that age. I personally can’t wait to hear the old stuff so it can take me back to my childhood and all the memories. The new stuff is worth the wait and I know it will be amazing! Thank you guys for getting back together and making me feel like a little school girl again!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
This is one of the Greatest things to happen in My lifetime, besides seeing them live when I was 10 and Sitting in the 2nd row, so close That Jordan Actully laughed when I hit my Dad in the head with those Light stick things… BLOCKHEAD 4 EVER!!!
P.S. Thanks to my Hubby for putting up with my obssesion and making room for my collection. MUAH!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to Knoxville, TN on tour?! We love you guys down here in the South!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Donnie is so well spoken! I could listen to him all day. Glad you guys are doing this your way!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
You have no idea how exciting this is! NKOTB was my first concert ever….My mom was 25 and I was 3!!! I ended up falling asleep at the show!!! I cant wait until you come home to BOSTON!!!!! YOU ARE SO LOVED AND ADORED HERE!!!!!
<3 Jordan’s Girl
April 4th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Welcome back! Really looking forward to this Once-in-a-lifetime-moment!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
So So Welcome back! Loved you as a kid and love you guys now! More power to you! At our ages, it is never too late to live your dreams! You guys are blessed, stay confident, stay focused, dont let the jealous people bring you down becuase you all rock! Look up to God and you can go anywhere! woohoo! Cant wait to show you guys to my kids, they will love you as well!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
This is so awesome, too bad I don’t still have some of the things I collected (Like the Jordan doll) when they were popular!!
April 4th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
OMG SSOOOO excited!! I have been a loyal fan every since I can remember! I am now 25 and New Kids has always been a huge part of my life..past..present…and now future!! When people stopped listening, my sisters and I never did. We still listen to them ALL the time! My 4 year old daughter even knows who they are and knows the words to The Right Stuff! You guys may not realize what an enormous role you played in people’s lives and I am here to say it was HUGE. Now we along with a whole new generation will fall in love all over again!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! And God Bless you!!

April 4th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
i can’t believe i will be able to see you guys LIVE in concert… i watched a concert on video like a billion times (seriously–i can still recite dialogue of the on-stage banter in between songs)and i followed along with the dance routine at home with my sister and friends.. now i get to see you in PERSON!!! i’m so excited, good luck on the album and see you in Tampa soon!
you were missed. (i wish i still had all my trading cards of you guys…)
i heart NKOTB.
:O)
April 4th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I am so glad I refused to let my husband throw away my Jon button. I knew this day would come and I would need a dinner plate sized button of Jon someday:) I am so excited, I hope that one of the concerts will be close enough for me to get to (Houston loves ya’ll).I have been a huge fan for ever. My sister bought me your CD’s for Christmas a couple of years ago. I was thrilled and my kids loved it. They obviously have genetically great taste in music. Congrats and good luck.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU GUYS ARE REALLY BACK!! I am one of the sad girls in Jr. High who cried herself to sleep because mom wouldn’t buy me a ticket to the show…but I’m a big girl now, I can buy my own ticket =), I CAN’T WAIT!! By the way, man you guys look HOTTER THAN EVER!
April 4th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I still have my NKOTB sleeping bag. Guess it’s time to drag it out of the closet (my husband might have a problem with it though). I can’t wait to see what’s next.
April 4th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I’m so happy that you guys are doing this!!! Count me in for a few tickets. I was 11 the first time I saw you and it was great to be at one of your performances. I saw your video on people.com and I think that Danny and Jon should just enjoy the moment and take it for what it is. It’s a great thing for your everlasting fans. You guys look GREAT!!
WE ALL MISSED you, welcome back and best of luck on your performances and your new album
April 4th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
hello guys i am so damn happy you are out and about again please come into philly. joey you drive crazy….i am so proud of all of you. and you have my support
April 4th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
How much fun is this going to be? My best friend and I are so very excited about this reunion- we have been keeping each other in the loop anytime we hear more news!
The most exciting part for me is that the chances of getting to see a show will be so much better since I live in Boston now- growing up, a lot of the touring acts did not make it to our neck of the woods, but I can pretty much guarantee that there will be a show or two in Boston
Sounds like my friend will have to be taking a road trip to come and visit me.
Thanks guys for bringing back something fun from a time when life was much simpler and carefree- before jobs, kids, and grown up responsibilities. I cant’ wait to take a night and be 13 all over again!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I can’t wait to see you guys. I haven’t stopped listening to your music and I don’t think I ever will. Love you all!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
[...] From the official New Kids on the Block blog: So what will a New Kids On The Block concert look like in 2008? [...]

I remember when you guys came to Baltimore, Maryland b/c I went to your concert as a child!! Now I will go to your concert again if you come to Baltimore, Maryland!!! I can’t wait til your album comes out b/c I will be the first one to get it

April 4th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
I am soo excited!!! You guys still rock and I can’t wait to hear your new music.
I have always been a huge fan since I was a teenager, and now my Husband has also gotten into your music (he’s into metal so that’s huge, lol) as well as my 2 year old, he’s bopping around the house to The Right Stuff. Can’t wait to hear the album and see you on tour.
April 4th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Does anyone else feel like crying and screaming like a nut? I AM SO EXCITED!!!!! My name is Jessica, 31 years old, from Long Island NY and I have been a fan since the very beginning. I have gone to so many concerts and even visited their houses in Boston. (That may sound a little crazy but it was so worth it.) I wish I could have been there in NY today. I live so close but had to work. I can not wait until the tour starts. This time around will be better. Atleast I won’t have to BEG my mother to get me tickets and drive me every where. The guys look so great today. I am a Jon and Donnie lover from way back. Welcome back you 5 bad brothers from the Beantown Land.

I have never been so excited about a band reunion in my life! I feel like a teenager again, and I have to say, these men have aged wonderfully! I actually think they are sexier now than they were way back when! I hope they plan to come to Arkansas, or at least to Memphis, Tennessee, because that’s only two hours from here! I LOVE NKOTB!
April 4th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
We’re here for you! Thank you for coming back to us!
LOVE what Donnie said about redemption! My husband, kids, co-workers, friends and family all think I’m nuts over my level of excitment about this, but whatever! I’m thrilled! Keep Hangin’Tough!
With much love from Toronto, Canada,
Adele

I just want to say that I was so excited to see you guys on the Today show. It made my day and I hope that your concert tour includes DENVER!!!! Each one of you guys look very good, and Jordan, DAMN BOY LOOKING VERY FINE!!!! I can’t wait to see you again. NKOTB fan for life.:)

Well NKOTB fans, here we are again….trying to figure out how we are going to “escape” our families to get to that NKOTB concert…but this time we have to get away from the hubby and kids…not mom and dad! I can’t wait to tell my parents what I’m up to…they can still roll their eyes but that can’t say NO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……Watch out NKOTB because here WE come, big buttons and all!!

I could never afford to come see you guys when I was younger, but I already told my husband that we will mortgage the house to see you this time. Thank you for making what I thought were long lost dreams become a reality. I know you may not come near WV, but I will find you somewhere, somehow, someday.
Sending you open arms, all the love and support you can imagine.

Thank you soo soo much for coming back! We have always loved you all and always will. This blog brought tears to my eyes especially when Donnie said you were doing this for the fans! That shows the true artists and talents you all truly are. Cannot wait to see you in Chicago or wherever my travels may take me!

I loved this quote from Joey, “Our fans are between 25 and 35 now because they were really young then.” I am one of the older fans at 41. I was in grad school when “Step By Step” was released. My friends and I just loved you guys and would joke about which one of you each of us would marry (we all had different favorites, thank goodness). Listening to you was always a nice escape from the stress of grad school. I can’t wait for the new CD and tour!! (and I already asked my mom to babysit so I pray you come to Texas) I’m just giddy with excitement!! : )
April 4th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Hey I still love you guys and I kept telling my homegirl that yall would get back together and I was right. I really love all of yall, but donnie is my favorite new kid. Is there any way possible that yall can come to Dallas, TX
April 4th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Great timing!! Speaking for myself I definitely needed this…
By the way…
(Not a technical term!)
I never thought I was crazy back then. I made you my family because mine was a little messy and I now help other people who have crazy families
Any how I am so excited to scream again! Let’s hear it ladies!!! (insert screams here!!!)
April 4th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
I am 48 years old (yes 48!) and I have been a fan of the group since they first began–I think I was around 23 or 24. My favorite was and still is Donnie Wahlberg. I’m sure there are others out there my age who may be hiding in the closet. Not me, I actually went to work today and turned on one of our vice presidents TV in her office to watch them on the Today Show! YOU MUST DO A CONCERT IN CINCINNATI OR CLOSE BY–COLUMBUS, INDIANAPOLIS. Trust me, I will drive there and take my 31 year old stepdaughter. Can’t wait for the CD and concert on Today show!
April 4th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Wanted to thank Donnie for saying he wants this to be redemption for us fans. I knew I wasn’t crazy back in the day, but so many people thought I was a bit of a freak when it came to these boys and often made it hard for me. I am a New Kids fan always and forever. Never in the closet about my passion! I am so thrilled about this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. A warning… I may be that groupie that follows the tour! Teehee.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
i cant wait til they start touring!! i hope they come to florida. back in the early 90’s my mom wouldnt let me go see them but now i’m 30 and i’m going, floor seats for sure!! woohoo!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Glade to see you all back. I just can’t wait to see if you all come to Utah. you look good on the today show and I will be watching on the 16th of May love you and miss you all
April 4th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
I hope you guys are ready for some young “kids” !!! My children (all boys) are 10, 9, and 7 and, courtesy of me, know every word to every one of your songs. Get ready for some competition!!! LOL Coming to Columbus, OH???
April 4th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I can’t tell you guys how excited I am to hear about your comeback! I was 8 years old when I first discovered your music, and I can honestly say I was hooked from the start. My bedroom was plastered with posters, and I would blare your music, and pretend I was the 6th member. My mother, being your typical Portuguese clean freak….didn’t mind the posters at all. My wonderful mama surprised me with tickets everytime you guys came to Toronto, Canada. I screamed the whole time at the concert, and cried for 3 days straight afterwards (it was very sad). Needless to say, my childhood was only better because you guys were a part of it. Ahh! So happy you guys are back!
May I add, all of you look deliciously handsome! Shhhh don’t tell my husband I send that! wink wink
Best,
Kelly xoxoxo (I would sign it McIntyre..but since I see we’re both married..can’t do that! lol) i love you all & thank you so much for coming back! It’s about freaking time!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
When I heard the news this morning I called everyone I could. I was smiling so much that my cheeks hurt, that wasnt bad but I was dancing around my 19month old doing the hangin tough dance and I hurt my shoulder. I guess I am not 9 anymore. It was still worth it. my mom said she was going to pull my jacket out with all my pins on it and give it to my daughter. she might only be 19 months but she can dance to your music and sing oh oh oooo oh oh ooo! I am so happy for all of you. and I know for a fact that I will be first in line to get your tickets… SO PLEASE COME TO WISCONSIN!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
watching the new kids on the block was on my life’s to do list
never thought i’d get to cross that off my list. =D
come to the bay area soon - we’re waiting for you!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
I cant believe that you guys got back together. I remember when I was a little girl I listened to you guys all day, everyday. I remembered I had a crush on Donnie back then. I hope you guys come down to Florida. I cant wait to see you guys.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
When I heard that there was a possiblity of a New Kids reunion I almost passed out!! Now that i know it’s true i’m PUMPED!!! All of my girlfriends and I are on the hunt for jordache jeans and high top reeboks!!!! We’re gonna rock the side ponytails, aquanet bangs and shake our booties to the Kids!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

April 4th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
It would really make all of us Atlanta girls happy if y’all could come to Atlanta; August 8th 2008. That would be the 20 year anniversary of the Step by Step tour! Please make it happen! We LOVE you!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
I cannot believe how excited I am about a NKOTB reunion! When I saw all the guys on the Today show, and how GORGEOUS they all are, I was screaming on my couch! I felt like I was ten years old again. I will definetly be at their concert. I cannot wait! I love you, Donnie!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Thank you guys for coming back you have been missed more then words could ever say!!!I can’t wait to hear the cd but I really can’t wait to see the tour when I was 16 I needed mom & dad’s permission to go now I just need my husband’s permission well guess what…..I heard this news today and he already know’s it will be a girl’s night out when the new kids come to town.

April 4th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
First of all let me say; “WELCOME BACK NEW KIDS!” It’s been a long time comin’! I kinda felt like this day would come. I will never forget 4/4/08. It’s very cool that at 32 years old, I suddenly feel 13 again?! This comeback has made me feel GREAT! I found myself going through all my old NKOTB stuff that I had boxed up in my garage. The funny thing is that my boyfriend caught me wearing the hat and tour jacket, while I was diggin’ through my NKOTB stuff. LOL! I’ll never forget his face! It was classic. I told him thats it! Your going to your first New Kids concert with me. If you don’t your not getting any for a month! LOL! So glad you guys are back!!! This NEWS has really made my day!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
I have to say that I am SO excited!!!! When u guys were around the first time, I was 7 years old, and all I had was a cassette. I didnt have the money to actually go see you guys and was way too young. You came to my town, but before you played the first song you guys couldnt even come on stage cause the mob of fans knocked the fence that was in front of the stage down. So the only way I could hear your music was on the radio and my little cassette, i hope you visit a city near me. Im SO SO happy that you guys are doing this, cant even expalin my excitment!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I am so glad to see you guys back together. I, as well as a few good friends of mine, have been waiting for this day forever! Thank you so much for making our hopes and dreams come true. NKOTB Forever!
April 4th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I now just have to decide if, as a mother, I am willing to sleep outside for tickets again.
I am so excited.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I can’t belive that after all this time I still get that “feeling” when I see or hear baout New KIds!! I am so excited to go out and see them again. Back during their Step By Step tour my best friend and I were 15 and 16. I was in love with Jonathan and she with Danny. We went out all alone following them up and down the East coast. Each city they set out to there we were in our Red Geo following behind their bus! It was amazing how devoted we were. Our parents were “freaking out” wondering when we were coming home and all we could think about was seeing them, talking to them. We truly thought that we were “meant to be” with Jon and Danny. We were lucky enough to meet and talk to them many times throughout our following. No matter how long it’s been I was right back there again when I heard the GREAT news of the reunion. Now I am back on the line hooking up with my best friend to go back out on the road again. I CAN’T WAIT!!! Joanthan’s fan forever, Susan(S.C)
April 4th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Im sooooooooo glad ur back together, I was like 11 when u broke up and for years I wanted u to get back together and now Im almost 26 and here u are back together. Im SOOOOOOOOOO excited and going to see u in concert for the 2nd time when u go on tour.
NKOTB FOREVER. I love u guys and my excitement is uncontrollable
April 4th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
When i woke up today and KNEW you guys would be on the Today show…i TRIED and TRIED to concentrate ALL day at work but couldn’t!! All i wanted to do was watch media coverage of you guys. YOU GUYS WERE EVERYWHERE! YOU GUYS LOOK GREAT! I LOVE YOU JORDAN! WELCOME BACK NKOTB AND DON’T FORGET TO COME TO THE BAY AREA!! We’ll show you how DA BAY gets HYPHY!!! Once again…WELCOME BACK NKOTB!! Can’t wait for the new material!
April 4th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
OMG…it’s been THAT long…I feel old…lol…I remember my mother trying frantically to get me NKOTB tickets when I was 12…lol…maybe I’ll have more luck now for my 8 year old daughter!! UGGHHH!!! Can’t wait!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Welcome back guys!!! I’m so looking forward to your new album and the tour, I can’t wait for you guys to come out to LA. I never stopped being a NKOTB fan, it’s for life!!! JORDAN KNIGHT YOU ARE SO SEXY!
Thanks for coming back!
Luv you guys =)
April 4th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
I am soooo EXCITED that NKOTB is back together! When I heard about the reunion I freaked out and brought out all of my old NKOTB memorabilia. I played my Hangin Tough “Live” and Step-By-Step VHS tapes and it brought back so many happy memories! I can’t wait for the tour! When will NKOTB be in TEXAS??? Ahhh…
April 4th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I am super excited! My best friend of 16 years and I missed going together back in the day to a concert (as my last one was a year before I met her)… now our wish is coming true! See you guys this fall! (come to New England as much as you want… we’ll be there!)
April 4th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
I am so excited about the New Kids on the Block reunion. I am probably one of those weird fans that was already older than the guys when they hit the scene. I got my little sister hooked on the guys and we did our whole room in New Kids on the Block posters. I wish all you guys much success, you guys really deserve it. My personal fave though is Jonathan, and my favorite memory of all was getting to give him roses and Jonathan blowing me a kiss at the concert.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I am very happy to see you together again!!
I remember the concert in Tokyo I went when I was in junior high, realizing how I’ve been waiting to have that great time once again. Now it’s not just a dream that you might come back to Japan on your tour. I’m ready and I’ll be waitin’!!
Sure enough, it will make me smile as before to hear you singing, the new songs or the old ones, whatever you guys want to sing now. I know I’ll love them anyway!!
Thank you and well come back!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
Oh my god I am so excited! You guys have absolutely made my entire year. I can’t wait for the album, the tour, everything
My husband just laughs. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Can’t wait to see you again! You were my first concert when I was 9 years old 
Love y’all!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I was amazed when i saw the nkotb again on the today show(nbc). What a reunion.I was a fan when I was in my teen years, and now a grown bright woman and still have memories of them.I still have my socks,t-shirts,vhs tapes,cds,books,posters,key chains,etc. of them.HERE’S A GREAT MEMORY, BACK HOME IN AMERICAN SAMOA IN THE 90′S ALL I DID WAS GATHERING ALL MY NKOTB ITEMS BEFORE A HURRICANE HITS THE ISLANDS,I’D MAKE SURE MY ITEMS ARE SAFE AND SECURE FROM THE HURRICANE. My friends used to think I was too crazy about them.But hey what can I say, it’s good to see them back again.NKOTB all the way:) THIS HAMO ISLAND LADY IS STILL YOUR FAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
April 4th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Wow, I am just as excited now as I was 21-years ago! It is very exciting to see you guys back together making great music that will probably be even better. Today when the New Kids appeared on the Today Show, I was seated right in front of the television just like when I was 10 years old, IT WAS GREAT!!! I hope that the world tour stops in Columbus, Ohio because I will definitely be there! Welcome back guys, we missed you!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
After all this years I can´t believe that you are back on the road. For me it´s a dream come ´cause I never saw you on tour and I can´t wait to see you here in ARGENTINA.
I ,AS A FAN, WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS TO LET ME FEEL ALL THOSE FEELINGS AGAIN!!!!
THANKS NKOTB FOR COMING BACK!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
I am very very excited! I felt 12 all over again this morning when I (missed work a lil bit) to watch the Today show…. this will be HOT!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Thank you very much for this wonderful gift to all the fans.
We have waited for this before like a dream but now it’s reality.
Loving ya forever..:)
April 4th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
OMG! It’s 2008, who would have thought that you guys after 14 years would have reunited? Not me that’s for sure I would never have believed it had I not seen this for myself. Here I am 33 years old married with a child and I feel like I’m 15 again! I just can’t believe it!! I missed you guys so much! My husband on the other hand is not excited LOL! He’ll get over it haha. I am looking forward to hearing your new album. If it has more of the songs like Click,Click,Click it will be GREAT!
April 4th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I am SOOOOOOOO Excited!!!!! I really hope you guys come to Nashville, TN Evansville, IN or Carbondale, IL!!!!!!!!! I would love to see you!!!!!!!
April 4th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Hey guys!
I am thrilled that ya’ll are going on tour. I am 34 and an attorney now and I can still remember back in the day when my sister, my cousin and my best friend waited for HOURS outside a record store in San Antonio, Texas for NKOTB concert tickets. It was a blast and I remember that we made it to the front row and just jammed with ya’ll!!! I hope ya’ll decide to come to TEXAS!!! Good luck and Much Love…Monz
April 4th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Congrats guys! I’ve always believed you to be top notch singers and preformers! Welcome back and much blessings upon all of you. I can’t wait to see what y’all will come up with
*heh* If you ever see your way to this part of the country (since regretfully I’ve never been to one) should you ever preform at the Shorline Amphlitheater here in Mountain View, CA, I shall endeavor to obtain some tickets. *lol* Ok, not kidding about the desire to attend one, but kidding about the rest.
April 5th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Please Please Please come to London!!!! wow what a night that would be!!! soooooo excited (is that normal for a 33 year old????)
April 5th, 2008 at 1:17 am
I have been a fan of NKOTB since I was 14 years old. I’m in Australia and saw them in concert in January 1992 in Sydney. I programmed my set top box to record the NBC Today Show at 4am (time difference and all) and I got to watch it this afternoon when I got back from work.
My heart started racing and I got all fluttery and silly like I was when I was 17! I am now 33!!
Pleeeeeeease come to Australia again boys, I know a lot of people who will fill the Entertainment Centre again!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 1:20 am
Wow thanks guys for coming back its been a long time coming, we have all missed you so much!. The new song Click Click Click sounds fantastic sexy even cant wait to hear this new album :). My and my friend have been reminiscing hard out and are both very excited and feel like teenagers all over again and we are 31 Lol, wohhhooooooo NKOTB are BACK!!!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 1:32 am

My first concert was a NKOTB concert. I am sooooooooooo excited that they are finally getting back together. I hope they plan on coming to NC. I can’t wait to hear their music on the radio again. It’s been way too long!!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Hi guys! I can’t believe that at 28 years of age I’m writing on a fan website to my first loves, just when I thought I’d grown out of this! All it took was to hear your names and I became that little girl again. I never got to see you guys the first time round so thank you for giving me a second chance. I’ll be the one in the front row - just make sure that London, England is one of your stops.
Enjoy!
Kim xxxxx
April 5th, 2008 at 4:22 am
Be honest! When this annoucement came out, you told everyone didn’t you?!!? I know I did! I found out from my cousin…the original #1 and #2 fans. She sent me the link for the today show, and voila, here we are! Looking forward to the tours…and of course we’re young, hot, and legal! AND, we still absolutely love NKOTB!
April 5th, 2008 at 4:40 am
Hello New kids on the block!iam very happy you guys are back, i was a very big fan when i was a teenager,iam very curious now what kinda music you guys are going to make now.Good luck and stay together!!!!!greetings from Nathaly from holland.
April 5th, 2008 at 5:16 am
I am soooo happy that NKOTB is coming back. I don’t know how many times I watched their video’s back in the day. I think I had the Right Stuff video memorized. Of course had all their albums on cassette and posters all over my room. Joey was my man, I kissed his poster all the time. HA! OH this is just great!
Welcome back guys, can’t wait to hear the new album!
April 5th, 2008 at 5:45 am
I was a huge fan when I was younger. Now at thirty two, I am looking forward to experiencing the New Kids all over again. I feel a bit old knowing how long ago it has been… but I’m a lot less infatuated with Joey… I’m glad I can look back and laugh - regardless, it was one of my favourite childhood memories! Welcome back guys!
April 5th, 2008 at 6:32 am
This is my former 11 year old selfs’ dream come true! Thank you so, so much Donnie, Joey, Jordan, Jon and Danny - as cheesy as it sounds you have made an already amazing year potentially the best year or my life - you are the cheery on top of a perfect year - thank you!
The small snippet I have heard of the new track is utterly sensational. I thought it would be impossible to top the musical genius that was Face The Music (truly your best album and still a staple on my iPod and in my car), but it seems you have - what an exciting tidbit in to what is to come!
Looking forward to seeing you perform shortly. We are going to fly over from New Zealand to see you all in NY. We hope you can return the favour and come see us in Australia and NZ and up in Canada too!
Much love xxx
April 5th, 2008 at 6:34 am
Back in the days when I was sooo young, when I threw my piggy bank on the floor and carried the only cash I have at that time to a nearby music store and yipiee I bought my 1st cassette, it’s New Kids On The Block album. Oh My ! that was the happiest day of my life and couldn’t stop playing it all day. Miss u guys..!
April 5th, 2008 at 7:33 am
WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
I met you Joe in 1993, and you were the NICEST guy!! I am so so happy about your reunion! I wish you all the BEST and warmest reception from your fans!
I am PROUD of Jon for facing the spotlight again…We are all here to support you!!!!!!!!!You are so so strong!!!
We are proud of you all for coming back! It took courage, and We are LOVING it!!! I cant wait to see your concert and buy your album!!Please stay this time!!! All my love and support,
Lexi
April 5th, 2008 at 8:05 am

April 5th, 2008 at 9:36 am
So glad u guys are back. We’ve waited all this time, so I hope you’re not surprised at the reaction you’ve gotten. We’ve always been here. As you would say at your concerts, “the New Kids on the Block are here for you”. Well, we remember that, and we’re here for you, too! I hope you blow everyone away. Be yourselves. Donnie, be outrageous. Danny, flex those muscles! Joey, just be your fun and very talented self. Your voice amazes me! Jordan, exercise those pipes, and dance, dance, dance. Jonathan, keep the faith. I know it’s been tough for you sometimes, but you also have a great voice, and a talent to share with the world. You’re an inspiration to me, and to others. –Oh, and please come Cleveland!!
April 5th, 2008 at 9:57 am
i sooooooooooooooooo excited……i’m a huge New Kids fan….i remember going to 10 of their concerts here in california during a 2 year span!…..i truely can’t wait til they come back!
April 5th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I always knew my heart was in the right place! I am so excited for this reunion, and I am proud to still be a blockhead!!
April 5th, 2008 at 11:28 am
I’m so happy you guys are doing this and glad that the rumors of you guys coming back are true. I loved your old stuff, I still remember the date I saw you guys in concert - wow - what memories. Glad you’re doing new stuff, I believe you all to be talented musicians so it will be great to see all that talent collide again in a new fresh way. My girlfriends and I have already decided to mark our calendars for a girl’s night out when you come to Chicago. Blessings along the way!
April 5th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
so im watching the today show yesterday morning with my three year old daughter. She was totally mesmerized by the screaming girls on tv and could not stop watching you guys. she then began to sing “the right stuff” after i had sung it a few time.
so glad you guys are back!!!!! I STILL LOVE YOU DANNY!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Hi, I’m so glad you are back this pass week as been so exciting! This has brought back so many memories. I haved loved ya’ll since I was 12! I got my sister and bestfriend hooked on you guys. We went to every concert that came to the Hampton Roads area and Richmond. If you guys come back to Virginia,I hope you do!! I’ve already told my husband he’s babysitting and my crew are coming to see you. We still have our favorites. I still like Donnie and Danny my sister likes Jon and my best bud Mel likes Joe and Jordan. I just can’t wait for the new album to come out. I love you guys!!!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
How cool that you guys actually waited and encouraged each other and gathered and did it. That takes a lot of guts. Good luck, I am sure it will be a success! I am sure it will be all something you guys are proud of.
April 5th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Just in time… 2008 is the 29th anniversary of my 16th birthday. I. Know.
BTW… there may be a few fans out here who MAY be a little past that 25-35 year old age range… the ladies are pretty sensitive about that stuff. But not me. No… but SOME… just sayin’ fellas.
April 5th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Guys - I know there’s no way you are coming to Delaware…but could you spare a concert trip to Philly at least? Or Baltimore??? PLEASE!!! Lifelong blockheard at heart..looking to go to NKTOB concert number three

Dear Kids,
you made me so happy!
I was 15 when I heard your songs for the first time, I was just a student, a big dreamer, a little girl not looking to other boys but you…now I’m 31, married, hard worker, but I’m still crazy for you!
The first thing I did today was to call my friend (lovely blockhead like me) and scream and cry like we were still 15!
Such a big return to the past…but this is the present and I’m dreaming ’bout the future!
Waiting for you in Italy, always loving you…BABIES I BELIEVE IN YOU!
A special kiss to Donnie, my greatest love
April 5th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Love you guys! You have made many many fans who have always believed in you and who have wanted more all these years very very happy this week! My hope is that you guys are happy with this move and will have the time of your lives. You better believe I will be at at least one of your shows this summer, hopefully more. I would not be surprised if they sell out in record time!
On a side note, I would like to thank Joe for being such a great guy and for really appreciating your fans all these years. I have gotten to meet you twice and you were very kind and took time for your fans. I just saw you last year at House of Blues in Cleveland and I couldn’t believe that you came out and signed autographs and took pictures with everyone there. It just shows what a great person you are. Even better, when I saw you in Vegas in 1998 and met you the first time, you gave me backstage passes. Thank you for making me an even bigger fan so many years later. HUGS!!!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
i can’t wait to hear their new cd.
and i hope they come to arkansas
soon..
April 5th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

Thanks to all 5
Big kisses

Great job on the website, guys.
Something especially hit home while I was reading this blog. It said, “…’I want this to be redemption — but not for us,’ Wahlberg explains. ’I want it to be redemption for the fans. I want them to feel entertained, to feel treated to something special. And I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.’ ”
Hearing that made me want to scream, cry, and give Donnie the biggest hug I’ve ever given anyone. Donnie, you said exactly what I needed to hear all these years as a New Kid fan. I needed to hear that you love us. I needed to know that you guys knew what we were going through all these years while being categorized as one of your fans. I needed you guys to acknowledge that we have been mocked, outcasted, put down, made fun of, and ridiculed for our taste in music. And I needed you to realize how much we have stood our ground, how we never wandered too far from you, and how this reunion will truly come full circle for both you guys and us fans.
Thank you so much for this reunion. I am constantly overwhelmed by your dedication, talent, and hard work. There are still haters out there but we’re used to the criticism. However, this time, we have full ammunition and we will always defend you guys til the end of time. I just wish MTV would stop picking on NKOTB fans and start showing you guys and us fans some respect. Just know that you’ll always have fans like me out there to uphold the love. We got your back! Peace!
April 5th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I can’t believe it!!! Finally after all these years, here you are again!! Can’t wait to hear the new hits as well as the old ones! Welcome back!!! Please come to Atlanta! We are READY FOR SHOWTIME!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I just wanted to say that I don’t think you guys realize how happy everyone really is that you are back, and we will all stick by you along the way as we always have! I Love you guys!!!! So glad your back! I hope you come to PA so I can finally see you!!!
April 5th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Hello from Beantown.It’s great to see you guys back together again. I cannot wait to hear your new material and to hopefully see you on stage once again.
Love Ya,
Rita DiCicco

April 6th, 2008 at 8:23 am
nie myślałam, że WASZ powrót zrobi na mnie takie wrażenie….!!!
April 6th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Welcome back guys and am glad you are back together unfournately I missed the first time around didnt get to see you guys in concert due to fact my mom wouldnt take me to see you guys so this time I’m a grown woman and can come and see you without anyone’s permission not even my husbands lol (I wear the pants in that marriage LOL JK) he likes you too (got him listening to you guys and JOrdan and JOeys solo stuff) so he cool with it. Please come close to the Southeast near Bama cause we love you too guys. I went to New York and saw you guys at the Today show set and got lucky enough to shake Jonathan and Joeys hand. Was close enough to see Jordan smiling at the cameraman with some lucky fans. I’m so excited about the reunion its like I’m in a dream keep telling my friends to pinch me see if I’m in a dream. That how it feels like a GREAT DREAM THAT I THROUGHT WOULD EVER COME TRUE
April 6th, 2008 at 9:14 am
I am absolutely happy about your comeback! So many fans have waited for it so long. Here in Austria many fans wait for You. Please, please also comes to us on tour! We can hardly expect to see again you.
April 6th, 2008 at 9:25 am
This is incredible….I know it’s real, I know I’ve seen them have the words come out of their mouths…I know this is happening….yet I cannot completely fathom or truly comprehend it. It’s almost like a dream that you hope you don’t wake up from. I am already in line for tickets to the closest show to me. We have about 6 girls already ready for a road trip. I don’t care where, we are going! These Men are absolutely beautiful…how well they have all aged. I am rambling now…but I don’t think it’s gonna really hit me till they walk out on the stage and the place explodes!!! I am going to literally burst into tears, I am overwhelmed right now & I am gonna be in heaven that night. Thank you guys for doing this…Mr. Walhberg says it best right here:
“I want it to be redemption for the fans. I want them to feel entertained, to feel treated to something special. And I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.”
That totally had tears in my eyes. We fans are wanted and appreciated and loved back. That is the great thing about these guys: they love us all back. And the best part of that statement….WE AREN’T CRAZY!!!! hahahaha!
BTW, Donnie is my favorite
He is a incredible performer, a first class actor, and a awesome human being. Donnie I thank God you were born…the world wouldn’t be the same without you. Really, there wouldn’t have been a NKOTB…at least not the same.
I loves ya! See you guys at the show! XOXOXOXOXO
April 6th, 2008 at 9:40 am
I forgot….my first concert ever was in the 6th grade. My BFF and I went to see New Kids on the Block at the old colesium. They tore it down eventually, but I can say I was there and I saw the greatest band ever. I screamed so loud that people actually turned and looked at me. What is so funny about that is everyone was screaming but I got stared at. Wow, the memories. I can’t believe this is happening. Thank you guys again. I really hope Jon is okay thru all of this.
God Bless!
Tara
April 6th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe they are back. I have been waiting for this day. Jordan is fine as hell, as always!
April 6th, 2008 at 9:42 am
iam to excitted for words..
i have waitted so long for this.
when nkotb was first around toronto ont on their tour and i wanted to go so bad, i wasn’t allowed because according to my mom at that time i was 12 or 13 years old i was to young to attend my favorite groups concert.
i was tapes gallor with concert footage but yet have to see the real thing.
so thank you so much this is a real thrill to finally have the opprotunity to finally see NKOTB!!!

thank you
jessica
April 6th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Good To See you guys back together!!! I’m excited =) I hope you won’t forget to come do a concert in Vancouver, BC CANADA! Vancouver Loves NKOTB
April 6th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
I don’t think I have stopped smiling since I heard the news this morning! I am so excited - I am a huge NKOTB fan and have always been proud of it. I still have all of my cassettes and alot of my memorabilia. I am so looking forward to another chance to see them in concert. I never got to see them the first time and I had given up on ever filling that dream. With a little luck and God’s grace, I’ll get to see them this time around! Thanks for making my dream a possibility.
April 6th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Ok, I have to say that this is great. I was listening to you guys when I was 13, 14 … I was always so sad, because I couldn`t go to any of your concerts. And I can`t believe you are back together again. Maybe this time I will be able to listen to you LIVE …
You could do European tour. I think a lot of “all grown up teenagers” here would be really glad if you would do that. 
Anyway, I`m glad that once again I can be a NKOTB fan.
April 6th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I am soooo excited you guys have finally decided to get back together! I am from Boston and I HAVE to ask… are you guys going to do more shows here than just Kiss Concert? I never got to see you guys live in concert when I was younger because my parents never had a lot of money. SO! I will do anything/everything possible to see you guys this time
I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!
April 6th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Unlike many of my fellow bloggers, I have not been waiting for the return of NKOTB. Don’t get me wrong, I am still a fan and am looking forward to hearing what they have to offer in the way of music. I do have that feeling 14 all over again feeling, and am intrigued by the thought of getting to see them in concert since I never did in my teens. But I don’t think I will have the same reaction at 31 that I would have at 12 -15. You won’t find me jumping up and down screaming or passing out at the sight of them on stage.
I guess I was happy for the 5 getting to move on with life. I have friends who have a fish bowl type of life…and it isn’t fun…you’ll never hear them complain ….because they chose this life, but I feel for them. And I guess I was never the type of fan to be found looking over bathroom stalls trying to get a peek. So in that respect when they moved on, I moved on as well. I do not have any of my NKOTB keep sakes…not one single one of the 350 NKOTB pictures I had on my wall…I moved on.
That being said: I am on the website so I am excited, intrigued, surprised and down right happy! I’m 31, a mother of two and wife to an amazing man…and the prospect of getting to live out one of my childhood fantasies is so…well. Weird…LOL…I hope I finally get to see them in concert.
April 6th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Grat to hear you´re back!!!
Argentina is still waiting!!!
April 6th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I am so excited that this day has actually come! Been waiting for a long time!
April 6th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
It’s so great that you guys are making music again, together. I’ve been a fan since I was eight, and have all the memorabilia to prove it! I’ll never get rid of my giant Jordan button, oh, and my Jordan doll. The concert I attended in Tulsa, OK is one of the highlights for me, and seeing you all together again makes me feel all giddy again. I have to say, all of you are looking pretty good these days; time has been kind. I really appreciate this blog entry, giving the background to the reunion. Helps give us true fans the info we need to comabt the inevitable jeers that get thrown out, about this being such a joke. Can’t wait for the CD, and really hope that I can make it to a concert. God bless, and just take it step by step!
April 6th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hi guys, I’am so happy. It’s a dream. I am now 32 and a mother of a 1 year old son and still a fan!!
Are you coming to The Netherlands?? Please do, I can’t wait, and I am sure all the fans in The Netherlands can’t wait to see you here. Guys you all look very handsome and sexy!! I can’t wait to hear the new album. I still love you and I am very happy that The New Kids On The Block are back. Please stay and come to The Netherlands, don’t forget the very little country. You have been here, and I already saw your concert in Rotterdam twice.
Love, Debbie (The Hague, The Netherlands)

I wish you all the success in the world with the new music & tour!! Can not wait to see you all live!!!! Thanks from a true fan!
April 6th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I am honestly soooo excited that this reunion has FINALLY happened! I just hope you guys can make it to Utah in a tour! Thank you for all of the memories! As well as looking forward to more with all of you!

April 6th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
How great does it feel to know that we are all still here and just as excited to see you as we were back in the day? Congratulations to you on your new journey and congrats to us…we can all finally see you in concert (and not have to promise to clean the house for a year as a bribe for ticket money
Can’t wait!

Iam so excited that NKOTB is finally back. They have all aged very well and I cant wait to see them in concert once again. The New Kids to me is what Hannah Montana is to my girls.
April 6th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
This is the best news ever. I am so excited. Guess it is time to get back out the NKOTB pillowcase. You guys have the truest fans ever. We all have stood behind you from day one. I will make my 13 years old daughter a fan yet!!! It’s time to get the Hangin Tough and Step By Step VHS videos out. Thanks guys for making your fans happy once again after all these years. We love you.
April 6th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
This is awesome, I still have some of my hats, dolls, tapes, shirts, blanket and game up in the attic somewhere. It’s great to see the guys back together again.

April 6th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I will never forget meeting you guys backstage in Oklahoma City…especially the hug and the kiss on the cheek from Donnie!!! I hope you make it to OKC for this tour!! My best friend from middle school visited over the weekend and we stayed up so late looking at all of my NKOTB stuff, listening to every CD and making ring tones for our phones. I’m 30 now and the news of the reunion has brought back so many amazing memories. Those middle school years were so special because of you guys! I hope my daughter will have a group like NKOTB when she’s a preteen. Every girl needs a boy band to love and obsess over!
I can’t wait to see you in concert for the third time! XOXO
April 6th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Wow! I am so happy to see these mens faces again LOL! I can’t wait to get the new CD. I was really upset when I herd they were braking up. I was a huge fan and still is. I show my 12 yr old daughter who was my teen idol. LUV U GUYS!
April 6th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I can’t tell you how happy i was to hear you guys are getting back together. I will definetly be at the nearest city to see the concert. My 9 year old daughter is a fan also. She enjoys listening to my greatest hits album. Thank you so much! You don’t have to prove anything to us though. We always knew we had our hearts in the right place and that we weren’t crazy.
April 6th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Hello from Down Under…I can´t believe it´s happening. It´s great to see you back together again. You have made so many people happy and now your back to do it again…and I´m grateful for that. Look forward to hearing the new and the old music…Add Australia to your world tour because I´ll be right there backing you up all the way.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:21 am
This is crazyyyyy!!!! I am from A to the U to the S to the T to the R to the I to the A. HAHA. I got an email this morning…..from one of my best friends. We actually started out to become friends when the NKOTB came out BACK BACK BACK BAAAAACK in the time. Today she wrote me “Claudia! NKOTB re-united!” I was like “WHOA!”. How interesting!!!
Well, all I can tell you guys is:
“STEP BY STEP” u can really make it again out there if you are “HANGIN’ TOUGH”
because u simply got the “RIGHT STUFF”!
Maybe I will have the pleasure to see you live in concert again,
if it’s “TONIGHT”, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I don’t care.
“CALL IT WHAT U WANT” but I call it a “damn good idea” that u are back again.
U will have a lot of “VALENTINE GIRLS” and “COVER GIRLS” screaming out for you when u are back on stage! I promise you that!
Oh! One last thing — “IF YOU (ever) GO AWAY”, then please go to Austria and lighten up our country with your cute-self, because “THIS ONE’S (not) FOR THE CHILDREN” anymore but for the grown ups now! OK?
GREETINGS FROM AUSTRIA!
Claudia

April 7th, 2008 at 1:58 am

My brother told me yesterday that I would never guess who was back 2getha, and I didnt as i thought he was teasin me, cos everyone knows what a big NKOTB fan I was-and still am! I’ve still got alot of stuff from when i was younger-every now and then my partner urges me to throw them away, but I neva have and neva will. I am now 30 and cant wait for NKOTB to tour the UK, as i was never aloud to go when I was younger-but I’m an adult now and cant wait!!I’m soooo excited all I can do is smile!!!
April 7th, 2008 at 5:54 am
This is the best news I have heard in a long time. I have been a fan of the New Kids since they began. I still have in my car my original tape of thier first album (also have it on CD :-)). I have never stopped listening or believeing in them. Great to have you back Guys!
April 7th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I am so excited I am SO excited about the New Kids Reunion. I really hope that they will be coming near the Augusta, GA area. As long as it is not during late August as I am due to deliver my first child around Aug. 26th. Otherwise I may be delivering at the concert :D. And if that happens…..PLEASE let Jonathan Knight come to offer congratulations!!!

April 7th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Glad to see that you are together once again, if you make it to Florida I may just be able to go to an NKOTB concert for the first time. As a kid I always wanted to go to an NKOTB concert but times were rough, as an adult I’m hoping that I can make my childhood dream a reality (if you make it to Jacksonville, St. Augustine or Orlando that is). Congratulations guys!
April 7th, 2008 at 10:15 am
It´s great to have y´all back! Will you come to stuttgart/germany, too?
April 7th, 2008 at 10:15 am
I feel 15 again. I was so in love with Joey, shhh, *looks over shoulder to see if hubby is look’n, giggle* Pllllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaassssse bring the concert to TX soon guys. I’m dieing to bring my 13 daughter to hear you. I’ve worn out all my old cassette tapes and need my NKOTB fix, wooooooooooot, their back! YES!!
p.s. I love you too Jonathan, Danny, Jordan, & Donnie, but all my blown kisses go to Joey, ;O)
April 7th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I am so glad you are back. My sis and I were Devastated when you split. We didn’t even get to see you live. But now we do. We are so excited. Please come to Ohio if not Ohio then one of the states around it.
Love you all.
Cyndy
April 7th, 2008 at 10:28 am
WOW, that’s really all I can say. After the first few years my friends and I just sort of gave up on the thought of a reunion, although somewhere inside there was always the hope. Joey, you were always my favorite, yet fate never let me meet you in person. Even when I was at your Y2K B-day show lol. Your dad, Tommy and even your ex (who shall remain nameless), but never you, never you. Donnie, when I met you, you made me smile, taking the time to search your glove box for batteries for my flash and telling the other girls to back up so I could breath. You’re a fantastic man. Danny, using my head as your arm rest while you signed autographs, well, that was just unforgettable lol. Jordan, you have a few issues with ego, but I’ll let you slide because I am hoping that your heart is in the right place for this reunion. Jonathan, sweet Jonathan, what can I say? I have a new “fav”! The years have been kind to you sweetie-pie and I’m glad you’re stepping up to the plate and making the reunion complete. We are all older and wiser and I think that this reunion will go a LONG way in helping to lighten the souls of millions, seriously. I’ll end it here, no song titles or lyrics woven into my closing, simply the deepest heart-felt love, respect and admiration!

You guys definitely have talent. I’m sure that a namechange has been considered… maybe like “New Generation” “New Gen” somethin’ more Y2K-ish but still you.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:57 am
YAY! I’m so glad you guy came back. I thought you were hot back then, you guys are getting better looking with age!!
I’m looking forward to hearing your new stuff.
I really hope you come to cleveland cuz my girlfriends and I are planning on coming to see you! I’ve got such great memories of dancing to the New kids video in my basement.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I am one of the poor souls in Idaho that only got to see you guys once. Please don’t make that mistake again. We love you out here!!!! At least get as close as Salt Lake so we can road trip to see you. I’m bringin’ the girls and we got our lungs ready for you! Hint for you… Boise or Bust guys come on.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I don’t know where to start… I know there are lots of similar messages, but I must say that I have never felt so happy in my life; I’m so glad that you are getting back together!
I became one of your fan when I was 12 years old but unfortunately it happened after you broke up. I could never imagine that one day I would be able to go to one of your concert! The 4th of April 2008 is a date that will remain in my heart forever. Thanks to you, my biggest dream has come true
I also wanted to thank all of you for having helped me a lot when I was going through a bad period of my life. Your music made me dream and it was what gave me the strength to keep on smiling.
I hope you will come to Paris so that I will be finally able to go to your concert
Thank you again for all the emotions that you made me feel and for having got back together.
Ps: your new music sounds great… as usual!!!
April 7th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Hi Danny!
Welcome Back baby! We missed you. I always wondered if you guys would ever get back together and now it has finally happened! As soon as you guys come to Miami I will be in the front row just like I was the first time I saw you guys perform at pleasure island in Orlando, FL. Give the boys all my love. I can’t wait to see you guys perform.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
AT LAST!!!!!!!!
I love you NKOTB and am So So So happy at this great news. I was about nine when you were all the rage and never got a chance to see you in concert. Now one of my biggest dreams will come true at 30!!!
In a day and age when songs are downright graphic, include curses, and send negative messages and music group members are arrested for misbehavior, drugs and weapon possesion, Thank God we’ve got the New Kids. Welcome back, gentleman! I can’t wait to see all of you soon! Your return is a breath of fresh air! Love you Jordan. Kisses for all of you. I have changed my screensaver at work with your incredible new group photo release. You all look ammaaaaazing!!!
Love, Maritza
P.S. See you May 16!
April 7th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I’m SOOOOOO happy the guys are back… Can’t wait for the new CD to come out.. Joey has always been my favorite. Donnie is right up there too, he kicks booty in the movies I have watched him in… Need to tour to Spokane, WA or close too..
Much Love to you all…
April 7th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Okay, so is the songwriter’s name Nazeree or Nazaree (it’s written both ways above)? Or, is it actually Nasri (as in http://www.myspace.com/nasriworld)? I just think he deserves more respect than he’s been getting here so far!
Of course I’m ecstatic to see you back though! Looking forward to getting the ladies together for the tour!
April 7th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Quel bonheur d’apprendre cette nouvelle !!!! Enfin ce groupe mythique se reforme !!! Il était temps !!! J’espère vivement que vous ferez un détour par la France et je suis certaine que les fans seront au rendez-vous comme au bon vieux temps…

April 7th, 2008 at 2:51 pm

April 7th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

April 7th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I have to say this is a very big deal to me lol
i don’t mean to laugh but back in day these guys were my oxygen that gave me life… I lived off these guys, magazines posters puzzels comforters video cassettes and so so much more, any money i made from babysitting was devoted to new kids on the block. I still have of box packed full of various nkotb eveythings lol
When i finally got my chance to see them in Winnipeg Mb Canada November 4th 1990 i thought i had died and gone to heaven… i have always tried to keep up with the where abouts of the members of new kids now a days, now that i am 32 its fun to look back, and in a way i feel as giddy as i did as a kid
great to see a return, i just hope i don’t pass on my craziness on to my daughter… you guys still got the right stuff
Any chance there will be any Canadian Tours ???
April 7th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

April 7th, 2008 at 6:50 pm

April 7th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Wow, what a day! Just found out you are back! The new look is suave. Nice touch.It would be great if you guys came to Australia. We love you guys all the way too. I missed out when you were here last, so it would give me an opportunity that I didnt think I had. Now at 30 I am rearing to watch you guys. Can’t wait to hear your new album. Dirty Dawg was my last fav.
Gday
April 8th, 2008 at 4:44 am
31 years old, 8 years of marriage and two beautiful sons and still 15 at heart when the news was spread about this reunion. Some things never die: Jordan Knight will forever be my first love hahaha. Please visit the Netherlands, you’ll be more than welcome!!!!!
April 8th, 2008 at 5:11 am

Welcome back to the hearts of the women…. You always had and always will have ” The right Stuff”… Again welcome back…
April 8th, 2008 at 5:27 am
I’ve loved so many different bands and styles of music (and people of course!!) since i really little, but NKOTB were truly my first love.
I’m pushing 27 now and just to think back of all the times i sat in my bedroom singing along to the the music, checking the time on my NKOTB watch and day-dreaming that i was friends with Jordan, Danny, Donnie, Jon (without a “h” - how cool) and little Joe, makes me all happy and excited.
Not many have ever made me feel that way….
April 8th, 2008 at 6:54 am
THIS IS THE DAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! I knew you would get back together, I am so excited. I still have my first CD of NKOTB from 16 years ago, how mad is that!! LOVE YOU GUYS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Becky
April 8th, 2008 at 7:09 am
HOLY COW! I can’t wait! I can honestly say I am 28yrs old and I STILL listen to their music. I have most of their songs on my winamp play list and when I ‘m in house cleaning mood…I sign their songs and bop all over the house like I did when I was 9, 10, 11……while my kids look at me like I’m crazy. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE FAN!!!!! I hope you guys make it to SOUTH FLORIDA!!!!!
April 8th, 2008 at 10:11 am
I am so excited to have these guys back! I was so in love with them when I was younger. I had all of their dolls, the bedspread… everything! I would love to see their concert and see how they’ve brought the old to mesh with the new. I’m sure it will be great as always! Welcome back guys!
April 8th, 2008 at 10:16 am
It is soo cool that you are getting back together. Now that I am a mom I have made sure my boys have heard your music so they know what real talent can do!!
April 8th, 2008 at 10:38 am
i love you guys!! i am soo happy your back.. cant wait for album, and tour!! i will be there
April 8th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Really brilliant news. Don’t forget the UK guys…we think you’re fab.
April 8th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Hey Guys! I am so glad your coming back! I was 16 when you guys came out and loved your music and still do. I met Joe ,jordan,and Jon at the Joey Fatone charity even in Orlando,florida last year. you guys were super! fun to be around. I never approached you at all. I figured you guys needed a break from signing. Hope to see you again soon. Oh by the way Jon “your still my favorite”
good luck and god bless
April 8th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Oh my god, I hope you guys are gonna come to England. If not, now I’m older maybe I can make a date in America!!! I pulled out all my records and all my friends at work have been singing along. I may have spent a fortune when I was younger but you gave me some happy memories. I’m not 13 anymore and obsessed:-) but I still bought your solo material and watched all your movies and reality shows you were involved in. Missed dancing with the stars though
Joey you’re still my fave! Jon - you’re a brave man and can I say the years have been very kind to you all!!! Ah I don’t know, some people were just blessed being gorgeous and amazing!
April 8th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
OMG what can I say I mean honestly this is the best thing to happen for like ages!!! As soon as I heard you guys were getting back together I went routing up in my loft and found all my old posters and albums,videos,t-shirts,hats,I could go on haha. I kept all this stuff and looking back through it brought back a whole load of memories it was great. LOL I was even watching the videos laughing about how me and my friends used to know all the dance routines and would be in my mums house dancing away. I cant tell you how much this means that you guys are all back together it is fantastic,I really hope things go great for you all and it is everything you expect it to be and also I REALLY REALLY want you guys to get some tour dates up for the UK PLEEEEAAASSSEEE that would be the icing on the cake.
Whising you guys all the very best loads of love and big kisses to you all xxxxx
April 8th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Thank you all for making a come back! My Husband and his Brother think that I and my Sister-In-Law are crazy, but we know that you all were worth the wait! I was, and still am, a huge fan and hope that there will be dates in Northern California (Sacramento, Marysville or even San Francisco). I am old enough to drive and can buy my own tickets now (I am 26) so I will be there!
Bright Blessings,
Tina and Gina Cervantes, LauraLee Rosales and Christina and Alexus Anderson-Carter
April 8th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Salut !!!
Moi non plus, depuis Paris je ne vous ai pas oublié.
Ca fait déjà si longtemps, comme le temps à passer vite. Et tout cela ne nous rajeunie pas, n’est-ce pas!!
Je suis également très impatiente et espère que vous aurez prévu un ” European Tour”
Well I really hope, you won’t forget your european fans!!
I can’t believe it, that NKOTB are back together after all this time. When I’ve heard this news , first I thought it was a joke, and then I’ve seen the news on the net, and then i said, now it’s for real.
It’s really incredible, cause I rememember the first time that I saw you, as if it was yesterday. I was a teenager, so i couldn’t go alone to the concert. And I asked to my big sister (by the way, who wasn’t a fan at all) to come with me ( “Paris Bercy” - “POPB”and she said “YES” waouh,it was magic.
And now I’m 30, and i’m still excited, it’s really funny, this feeling that I have.
So, well come back guys, and hope to see you soon in Paris (France).
Love from Paris (Hope my english isn’t too bad, and U’ll understand!!)

WOO HOO!!!
April 8th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
First off Im so excited that they are back. Im a huge fun, was even a bigger fan when I was a kid.
Just wanted to say whoever wrote the about section “Nazeree” is actually spelt Nasri. The boy is supper talented from Toronto, Canada. Gotta represent. Im so proud of my boy Nasri.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
WOW!!!! I have been witing for this for a long time. To be honest, I actually began to believe that a reunion would never happen–PINCH ME! I have never, ever quit being a fan, though. I kept all of my NKOTB memorabilia and constantly listen tho NKOTB when I am in my car and when I am cleaning my house.Lots of people think I am nuts but who cares?! The music is so carefree– it just makes me happy! I am really looking forward to the new album and hopefully the tour stops near me because I have never seen you guys live. (I do have all of the pay-per-view concerts on VHS, though!) THANK YOU THANKYOU!!!!!!You’re true loyal fans have been waiting a lifetime for this.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Thank you so much for come back, I’m from Ecuador, but I live in The US 10 years, back home we love you guys, I told already all my friends the you BACK, I;m so happy , am 31 years old, married, and I show my kids the coleccion the I have of NKOTB, God Bless you , AND … WE NEED YOU CD ASAP
April 8th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I want to say congratulations to these guys. I am probaly one of the first fans, outside of their families. I lived 3 houses up from Jordan and Jon K. in Dorchester (Codman Square). Jordan and Donnie gave me the first tape around 1986 of (Stop It Girl) and I blasted it from my car everyday around the streets of Dorchester. I spent a weekend in Montreal with them on tour in 88, and I went on to become good friends with Donnie and his family. Inspired by their success, I began an acting career and eventually got the opportunity to work on a film with Donnie (I played Mick,bad guy in Diamond Men) out here in LA. I am looking forward to the new music as much as the original hits and sound. If any of you 5 are reading, how about some passes for one of your original “Proud To Be” fans.
April 8th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Im sooooooooooooo VERY happy and excited that the guys are back together for a reunion tour. I love u guys so much and I have been a fan of yalls since I was 8 yrs old and im now about to be 28.

Just wondering if you guys will be in K.C. during your tour? My girlfriends and I are trying to plan a trip to see you - some of us still live here, but some are in other cities. I hope you all enjoy your comeback…it’s already put a smile on my face just remembering all of the crazy times me and my girlfriends had learning your dances and songs, decorating our rooms, standing in LONG lines to meet Tommy Page because we couldn’t meet you, copying Danny’s cool signature…..and the list goes on! Thanks, Jane

April 9th, 2008 at 10:11 am
THE FEELING I GOT WHILE I SAW NKOTB COMING OUT OF VELVET CURTAIN IS THE SAME FEELING I GOT WHEN I SAW “THE RIGHT STUFF” VIDEO ON TV ONE SATURDAY MORNING. ON THAT DAY MY LIFE CHANGED. IT REALLY DID BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAW PEOPLE REALLY HAVING FUN DOING SOMETHING. I WANTED TO BE IN THE VIDEO, DANCE AND SING ALONG AND BE A PART OF IT. NKOTB HAS BEEN PART OF MY LIFE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THEIR MUSIC THE THE SOUNDTRACK TO SOME OF THE FONDEST MEMORIES BACK THEN. I NEVER STOPPED TALKING ABOUT NKOTB SONGS. I LISTENED TO THEM ALL THE TIME. I WATCHED THE VIDEOS FREQUENTLY AND LOVED LSITENING TO MUSIC. I HAD A VERY ROUGH TIME BACK IN THE DAYS AND YET EVERYTIME I LISTENED TO ANY NKOTB I REMEBER THAT “FEELING OF HOPE” I HAD, THINKING THAT MY LIFE WOULD GET BETTER SOME DAY. SEEING ALL FIVE OF THEM ON STAGE AND ME BEING ON THE FRONT IS MY DREAM. I DON’T THINK I’;; EVEN BLINK BECASUE I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO MISS ANYTHING! NKOTB HAS REALLY IMPACTED MY LIFE AND KNOWING THAT THE BOYS ARE BACK BRINGS A FEELING BIGGER THAN HAPPINESS, IT’S TRUE JOY!!! WELCOME BACK BOYS! LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER, MAYRA.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:13 am
yeah!!!!!!
April 9th, 2008 at 11:38 am
OMG I sm so hapoy that you guys are coming back. I have been a fan since you guys came out and I never stopped being a fan. I can’t wait for the new tour and new songs but I hope you sing some of your old songs. I was so in love with Jordan, ha who am I kidding, I still am. I had everything you could think of that had to do with NKOTB. I even wrote a book in the third grade about a contest I had won to get to go on tour with you guys!!!! I love your guys so much!!!!
April 9th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
PLEASE come bck to Oklahoma!
April 9th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Been waiting for this for years. I am glad to see that they are coming back. They created the boy band era and made it what it is. If it were not for The New Kids On The Block, boy bands would not be what they are today. Welcome back Guys!
April 9th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Welcome Back Guys!!Please come back to Australia, we have been waiting such a long time to see you guys again. NKOTB was such a big part of our lives and we can’t wait to see you live again!

April 10th, 2008 at 9:02 am
I just have to say that I never gave up on the fact that we would one day see the boys back together again. Its amazing. I still can remember when I first seen NKOTB. I thknk I was like 16 at the time and they were playing at Westbury and Tiffany had opened up for them. I was sitting Second or 3rd row and I remember when Jordon Knight was singing his part in The Wright Stuff and I could sware that he smiled at me. I nearly fainted LOL. They have brought so much joy into my life and made me appreciate music even more. I cant wait till they toyr here in New York and rest asure I will be there. Love, Hugs and Kisses to the NKOTB Christine
April 10th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us. I know it will be great. Do not keep us waiting too long. May 16th is too long.
Phew!! Donnie, Jordan, Joey, Danny and Jonathan you are some goodlooking men. When you got; it you got.

April 10th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I am so happy I could cry! You guys are a big force in a lot of young girls’ lives. Now those girls are grown up and some of us have kids of our own. Our love for you guys will never change. It is the way my mother felt about The Beatles. And my nieces felt about NSYNC.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I’ll be loving NKOTB forever. Please come back to JAPAN again!!!
April 10th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Wow guys, I was a fan of yours when I was like 6-9 years old! I was singing along to your songs that I was too young to understand what they were about! lol I’m 21 now and I am so happy you guys got back together. Hopefully you’ll come near me (Johnstown, PA) when you tour because I would absolutely love to see you guys in concert for the first time.

Please, this time, COME BACK TO SPAIN, TO BARCELONA!!!
I’ll see you then.
Jordan: the time has made you more attractive even!!!
Kisses and huggs for all of you, specially for Jordan.
April 11th, 2008 at 7:26 am
I am 32 now and my 30’s have been GREAT and even better now that we have new music coming our way from NKOTB - Blockheads get ready to rock out! I can’t tell you how exciting this is for me……………..Hope to see you soon in ORLANDO, FL.!!!!!!!! We love you guys!!! xoxoxoxoxo
April 11th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Hey guys! Words cannot express my excitement. All I know is that you guys owe me and my sister a great show. I”m not sure if you remember when you did a show in McAllen, Tx and girls were getting smashed up against the fence and ambulance had to come and all i remember is you guys starting up a song and said “F— this” and took off. You never finished the show and my sister and i were heartbroken. We totally understood the situation but yah, you guys owe us. We’re so excited and looking forward to a tour. Not only does this make me happy that you guys are getting back together and making new music but I am also excited to share this experience with my sister once again. We have both grown older and created our seperate lives so we don’t spend that time with eachother that we did when we were young. We look forward to quality time spent talking and sharing great new New Kids stories. Love you guys!
April 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Hey JOEY..I am 36 and I am NKOTB Fan..always.
Watch the videos whenever I missed you guys.
Loved ALL the songs.
I remember, in high school I used to hang out with my girlfriends after school and giddy over watching NKOTB video clips..LOL
Can’t wait for the new album.
April 11th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
oops..forgot to tell that I am from Indonesia.
NKOTB rules!
April 11th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
I have waited for this for so long! Who would have thought! In my eyes you were all i ever cared about back in the day and now it is again, I’m like a spastic 8 year old again! LOL I just wanted to say that I am so excited and cannot wait for you to post some more tour dates. I was 8 when you came to Evansville Indiana and my mom wouldn’t let me go! I was devastated, but she regrets it till this day and said she would pay for me to see you! Please come to Indiana! Please!!! Love you FOREVER!!!
April 11th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
You guys… So many memories about my youth an your music… So many broken hearts :)… And now, you’re back… Romania loves you, divines you, and waiting for you! Thank you for your music! Tudor, Bucharest-Romania

I am a big fan, and I am looking forward to the new album with their new sound. Just a correction from the above main article, the young singer-songwriter mentioned named Nazeree, is actually spelled Nasri. He is the future of music, and along side the new kids, they will be unstoppable.
Check out Nasri’s music on his personal myspace page or imeem.com.

I keep staring at my keyboard wondering how to put into words exactly how much this means to me, and nothing is coming to mind. I did so many wacky things back then, including 2 road trips to Boston to “stalk” and then finally moving to Natick MA to be a nanny so I could have better chances of meeting up by chance. It worked. I saw Joe and Donnie more than anyone else. Donnie, I met you on the day you saw “In the Line of Fire” and was outside your house (cringing at the invasion of your privacy) and my friend and I were sitting across the street (she’s in a wheelchair) and you actually got out of your vehicle and walked across the street to talk to us. I had sat across the street from your house so many times and we always had to come to you - so something about that day really touched me. You seemed down in the dumps and I hope that even though looking back I wish we’d have just left you alone, I hope that whatever was bothering you that got better.
Jon - when you went on Oprah I sobbed. You were and are my favorite of the group. Once I saw you on Oprah talking about your anxiety, I knew why. I saw my own fears in you. Please know that you coming back to this means more to me than anything. It means it is possible to go to the extremes of panic and come back and conquer it. I saw you in person one time (at the Face the Music album signing at Tower Records in Boston) and all my scared to death psyche could muster up was “thank you”. So that’s what I want to say now, bt I’ll say it loudly this time.
My mom is just beginning to go through treatment for cancer now, so I might not see you at a show, but I’ll be first in line to buy the CD.

I just visited http://www.rememberbetty.org website…..it is very touching and I suggest you all go for a visit and get involved. It has inspired me to participate in breast cancer walk in L.A.! I have feel so lucky to have my mother in my life, I give thanks for her every day, thank you danny! your words and story are lovely and you seem like such a wonderful person, the website is absolutely beautiful! God Bless you and your family! Your mother must be so proud of you. The song is amazing, it brought me to tears, can’t wait to get it!!! Thanks again….Julie/Los Angeles
April 13th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Wow…when I found out yall (yes, I’m from the south) were doing a reunion show, I went straight to you-tube to see what old songs I could pull up. Oh my, the memories that came flooding back when I started listening. It’s funny the things you put in the back of your mind and kind of just forget about. Sooo many good memories though. Especially the time my mom took me, my two brothers and numerous cousins to watch yall live in concert in Shreveport, Louisiana…way back in August 1990. Now, I find myself 29 and wondering where the years went!! I will have to catch a concert this time around as well. I’m loving the song “Click, Click, Click”!!
April 13th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST GET THIS ALL THE TIME BUT I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN VANCOUVER CANADA AND I REMEMBER MY MOM DRIVING ME TO SEATTLE FOR YOUR CONCERT WHEN I WAS 12 TO SEE YOU GUYS PLAY AND I CRIED THE WHOLE TIME! I AM 29 YEARS YOUNG AND I STILL HAVE A BOX FULL OF YOUR POSTERS, DOLLS, BOOKS, BUTTONS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU EVER SOLD AND I HAVE CARRIED IT TO 4 HOUSES! MY HUSBAND KNOWS THAT I WILL CARRY IT WITH ME TO THE DAY THAT I DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SEE YOU BOYS AGAIN! YOU KNOW THAT ALL YOUR TEEN FANS HAVE GROWN UP TO BE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN JUST WAITING TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU JORDAN! I USED TO SIGN MY NAME NIKI KNIGHT WHEN I WAS A KID!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 14th, 2008 at 7:05 am
I’m sure you’ve read and heard all of this before but you’ve been so important in my life. I found so much strength in your songs…your voices.
No group has ever touched my heart the way the 5 of you have.
I’m so proud of your accomplishments and so proud to have stayed a fan all these years…even through all the teasing.
Love you!
Come to TEXAS soon!!!
April 14th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I love how intelligent they all speak about their music and success. I know Donnie’s been wanting the repect he knows the band deserves for so long. I want them to shove such quality in the face of the listeners no one can judge in a negative way. I got laughed at when i jumped for joy after a guy friend told me the rumors where true. But, if they can do somthing like Justin Timberlake did with his success. Even haters can’t say he’s not talented. Yes, girls will scream but that doesn’t take away your creatibility. Do I wish you were all single, hell yeah I do. Now it’s legal. But, I repect Joe saying about us being hot and then pointing out his wife will be watching. Good save there Joe. I want to lust over repectable guys not sluts. I can have my fantasy. It’s a better fantasy if it’s a guy who repects his wife and family. Espeically since your fans are older now. But, hey, if anyone’s still single you are going to have a hell of a good time. Be safe. Don’t cheat those who are married. That’s not cute.
April 14th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I think this is great I have been a fan from the beginning and can’t wait to here the new music. Love ya allXXXXXXXXXXX Andrea
April 14th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Anyway I just just just…wanna say
“Thank you sooooooooooo much coming back again”
I love NKOTB now and then. NKOTB changed my life 100%!!!
Always Love,everytime,everywhere,

April 14th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I had the pleasure of meeting you all at Six Flags Atlantis in Florida yeeaaarrrsss ago. You all came down and sang a few songs for a very popular radio station here in Miami, Power 96. Yes that day is still vivid in my mind and I have pics too!
My sister Jessica and I would always say, “can you imagine if the New Kids on The Block get back together?” Who thought after so many years of talking about it that our wish would finally come true! Guys — this awesome!! You 5 are going to bring back the old memories and definately create new ones. Your songs will be huge hits and go up the chart to #1 in no time!
Hoping you all will add Miami to your tour SOOON! Thank you all for reuniting… much love and God Bless.

Welcome back NKOTB. It’s been a long time but already I know it’ll be worth the wait. My teenage years were made so much bearable by you guys. My best friend and I can’t wait to see you back in the UK.
PEACE.
Love you NKOTB, always have, always will.
April 15th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Great to see that you are back at it! I was so excited to hear you are back. Who would have thought that someone in their 30’s could get so excited! Just hearing the news brought all my childhood back to me and I am just as huge of a fan as ever. My 2 young children(2.5 and 3.5)started singing along to Step By Step when they heard it on the website video as I have always told them that is my favorite song when it came on the radio and I sing it to them all the time.
I only had the chance to see you in concert once and even those I was as high up in the arena as you can get it was still the best concert that I have ever been to. Hope you come back to Saskatoon, SK Canada so that I can see you again.
Thanks for making my childhood so great and now my adulthood as well.
Good luck and lots of love in everything you do.

April 16th, 2008 at 7:28 am
Ok so having a wonderful husband and two beautiful daughters could life for me get any better??? YES!!!! so pleased you guys are back together. I am 35 and soooo exited really hope you come to the UK. I met you all last time you came after saving your bodyguard sean who got left behind at Heathrow airport. He jumped in a taxi with us. Anyway best wishes and hope you enjoy your return.
Love

I was only 5 or 6 years old back then, or even younger, when I started to know that there was a boyband named New Kids On The Block. My cousin were playing the songs and talking about them non-stop as much as my neighbours did. So there it was, I’ve been brainwashed and loved the NKOTB since, up til now, until everybody says that my taste of music wereso yesterday when I said I still love NKOTB and always will…
^^,)
But now, guess who’s coming back… I’m thrilled, I’m happy. Finally I can act my age, although I don’t regret for acting over my age where I was only a little girl who loved teenage music, now, it’s me, all grown-up and ready to listen to all grown-up music from my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND, NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hangin ThougH!!!
NKOTB still makes me smile and cry, happy and crazy when I hear their songs… Still know all the lyrics (maybe even better than you guys… :p )… Try me if you don’t believe me…
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH…………..
It might not be forever but I’m gonna enjoy each moment, each step, each music, each news, and each gossip about my ETERNAL FAVORITE BAND………..
Love you all to the core…
Gosh I miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu soooooooooooooooooooooo much…
-Yiska-
PS. Are you gonna make the cartoon again??? :p
Hope I can get it on DVD or something to rewatched every episode… :p
Love you all… BABY I BELIEVE IN YOU… YOU’RE GONNA MAKE IT…
April 16th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Well this is absolutely wonderful news guys! I was a fan in my early teens! Now 32 with my own family to raise, I am very pleased to hear that you all have decided to come together again to reunite after all these years! True friendships never die and are a blessing in disguise! Keep on - keeping on in all that you desire to do!
In Him,
Brenda L. Alton, NH
P.S. could you please be sure to add a tour date at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH? — Thanx!!
April 16th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I am thrilled to see my favorite group of all time back together! This really is a dream come true, not only for us fans but for you guys too!! Hope to see you in New Orleans, La. ! We would love to have you here!
April 16th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
i’m so happy they’re back!!
please whe are you coming to Belgium????
don’t forget us!!!
April 16th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I was in tears as I watched the video of the guys reuniting and appearing on the Today show. NKOTB doesn’t just represent “boy bands” for me. They represent such a simple, innocent time in my life. Lot’s of memories include listening, lip synching, watching videos/cartoons, reading comics, buying merchandise, going to concerts of NKOTB. I am 26 yrs. old now and was thrilled beyond description to hear that they might be making a come-back. These guys represent something so pure and wholesome, and in times like these…you can’t buy the feeling that they give you in a store…you can’t wrap it in plastic and stick it on a shelf. I get goose bumps when I look at my old tour jacket from their “Magic Summer Tour” in 1990…it still fits!!! That feeling is very special.
Simply put, I just want to thank the guys for doing this for the fans. The world can be such an ugly place these days, and it’s getting more ugly with each passing year. To find the true beauty that still exists, sometimes you have to look long and hard…it’s still there though…waiting for all of us to find it. Part of it was just found by a whole lot of nostalgic fans…and we’re ready!
Thanks again guys…Love you!!

I REMEMBER CLEARLY THE VERY FIRST TIME I SAW YOU GUYS ON TV I WAS ABOUT 10. THE “RIGHT STUFF” VIDEO WAS ON AND I COULDN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF THE TV. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING MY CHORES ON SATURDAY MORNING BUT I WAS SECRELTY WATCHING TV. I COULDN’T STOP WATCHING AND THE MORE I SAW THE MORE I LIKED. I LOVED THE VIDEO! I DIDN’T REALIZE TILL MUCH LATER THAT PART OF THE VIDEO WAS SHOT AT A CEMETARY! WHAT A NEATH IDEA, I THOUGH IS WAS COOL AND LOVED THAT IT HAD SOME BLACK AND WHITE SCENES. I REMEMBER WANTING TO BE RUNNING AROUND WITH YOU GUYS, I WANTED TO BE IN THE VIDEO TOO.
AT THAT TIME MY DAD WAS UNFAITHFUL TO MY MOM WITH PROSTITUTES, THEY SEPARATED AND SOON AFTER WE FOUND OUT MY HE HAD AIDS. EVERYTHING HAPPEND SO FAST AND THEN MY SISTERS AND I WATCHED HIM DIE. IT WAS DEVASTATING AND REALLY DIFFICULT. WATCHING NKOTB ON TV GAVE ME HOPE. IT GAVE ME HOPE BECAUSE I SAW A GROUP OF (VERY CUTE) BOYS DOING SOMEHTING THAT WAS FUN AND SOMEHTING WHICH THEY LIKED.
EVERYDAY AFER SCHOOL I WOULD COME HOME RUNNING HOPING TO SEE THEM ON TV AND LISTEN TO THEIR TAPES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I FELT BEAUTIFUL AND BELIEVED I WAS A “COVER GIRL”. AFTER LISTENIG SO MANY TIMES I FELT I HAD “THE RIGHT STUFF” TO PULL MYSELF TOGETHER ALONG WITH MY SISTERS. I FELT LOVED WHEN I LISTENED TO “I’LL BE LOVING YOU FOREVER”. THIS MADE ME BELIEVE I HAD SOMETHING TO HOLD ON.
I WAS ABLE TO EXPEREINCE GOOD THINGS THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES AND NKOTB MUSIC WAS ALWAYS A PART OF IT. I CHERISH MY MEMORABILIA COLLECTION AND AM SO THANKFUL AND VERY HAPPY TO EXPEREINCE THE COMEBACK. I’M WATING ANXIOUSLY FOR THE ALBUM TO BE RELEASED AND CAN’T WAIT TO SEE ALL FIVE OF YOU BOYS IN THE MIDWEST. THANK YOU. LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,
MAYRA (WHO IS READY TO “CLICK”)

I am SO excited that you guys are back!
I was such a big fan when I was younger. I was 9 when I first saw u on tv over here in London, England! Me & my sister were hooked from that day! Our room was covered in posters, on the walls & the ceilings…. Mainly of Jordan & Joey, as we actually thought we would marry u one day!!
But the music was great then & it still is now. I still love listening to all the old stuff & singing along like it was yesterday! All your songs got me through a lot of crap when I was younger & I love you all for that!
I cant wait to hear the new stuff & REALLY REALLY hope that u guys come & see your fans in England soon! Me & my mates said that if u did a reunion tour only in America, we would travel over…. But I reckon u should definatly come pay us a visit!
Love u all…. Blockheads forever!!

Shock doesn’t descibe it. I couldn’t believe it. It can’t be. NKOTB together again. Donnie. Danny. Jordan. Jon. Joe. I thought, aside from the few brief appearances on TV, they were gone forever. This is the greatest news EVER! I am 33 and all of a sudden I feel 15 again. I just squeal when I think about it. All you die-hard, life long fans understand what I am talking about. I can’t wait until the tour! See you there.
April 19th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Hooray! I’m so excited that you are back together! I can still recite every word of every song of NKOTB, much to my husband’s dismay, (I’m not a very good singer!) Can’t wait to hear the new stuff! Will you be taking the tour through San Diego, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas???? I sure hope so. Can’t wait to see you again live, and maybe I’ll bring my kiddos along too!

It’s so great to see this happens. My friends always knows, that I’m crazy, but now they have a reason …
I’m Katja from the eastern part of germany and I’ve never had the chance to see the guys live on a concert - too young, not enough money and so on…
But, with the new technology I’ve got the possibility to collect my cassetts - ok, now cd’s
Please, come back to germany … here is an thirty year old girl who wants to be a COVER GIRL and is still HANGIN’ TOUGH …
I’m really happy to see you united
April 25th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
OMG! You have NOOOO IDEA how excited and giddy I was when I first learned about the reunion! I still have VHS tapes of you guys performing from the MGM Studios in Orlando and when you guys were on Friday Night Videos at Christmas and so MUCH MORE! I have never forgotten you guys! I can remember the days that I sat in front of my TV waiting to hit the record button on the VCR whenever you guys came on! Today, I just hit the record button on my mobile phone to tape the interview you had with the Bert Show’s Tracy. Can’t wait to see you guys again!
Love ya,

Welcome back! I never in a million years thought at 30 yrs old I would be TIVOing the Today Show because my beloved NKOTB would be on. That day has come and gone and I will be TIVOing again on May 16th (thank goodness for TIVO). Darn work! I wish you all and your families nothing but the best! I look forward to your new music and to sharing it with my daughter. I know my mom, sister, daughter and I will all be groovin’ along.
Danny, I too support the Susan G Koman Foundation. My mother is a survivor of three years. I walk in the race for the cure in Louisville, KY every year. Would love to have you join us sometime! May we all remember Betty and all of those lost by this terrible disease, may we celebrate all who have beat the disease, and may they soon find a cure!
Love you guys!!
April 30th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I am so glad to hear you guys are back!!! We’ve missed you! I can’t wait till you tour in my area, even my 13 year old son is a fan (I’m bringing him up right! I started him on your music at birth!) He and I will be there! All my Love! Amber
April 30th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Dear NKOTB, I’m so happy to hear your back! I was always a big fan. Now were older of course, but I still love you guys and your music! I cant wait till you come to California! God Bless You and your families! Congradulations on your comeback! Take Care!
April 30th, 2008 at 10:00 am
please come to CALIFORNIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I have been a “block head” since 1989 and I am very excited to see that you are touring again. However, your tour dates only reflect NY, NJ and MA. Any chance you will head south?
April 30th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

Wow has it really been 20 years ?!? I have to admit when I would hear of a NKOTB reunion, I never really thought it would ever compare. But as I read your blogs I find my excitement growing and I feel like that 15 y/o girl all over again! Donnie I am glad you held firm for so long and waited until the right opportunity came around for the group, it was a wise decision! I’ve listed to the 1st single on here and I can’t wait to hear what else you guys have for us.
I can’t wait to look up my high school girlfriends whom shared my NKOTB love with me and see you guys in concert again !
Welcome back guys !!!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
I am so happy you are all back! I got to see you in Hamilton when I was 10 and can’t wait to make the trip to Montreal. Donnie~ you are my favorite and always have been. It’s just great to have you all back! I know this time will be just as good if not more then when you were around the first time. MOUAH!

I was over the moon when I found out you guys were reuniting, just one request,
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please
come to Australia and perform.
I have been a fan from the very begining and would love to see you here in Australia again.

Oi !! rapazes do New kids, estou no Brasil em São Paulo.
Acabei de saber pelo site da Globo que vocês iram voltar a cantar juntos e fiquei muito feliz.
Gostaria que soubessem que vocês fizeram parte da minha adolecência e que eu já fiz várias loucuras para poder assistir os clips na televisão e comprar album de figurinhas, estórias em quadrinhos.
E vendo vcs agora até voltou a sensação de adolecente e lembro de muitas musicas, tenho até no meu orkut o clip - Please dont’ go girl que é a minha favorita.
Eu quero uma foto do Joe se possivel, de todos eles eu ainda amo o Joe. Ele está muito gato agora.
Aguardo retorno : adrianatorres@globo.com
Beijos
I love Joe
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:12 pm

May 4th, 2008 at 12:51 am
This is truly amazing! Who would have thought that after so many years you guys would have come back together in the harmony the above article describes. Not too many groups touched with the type of ‘padamoniac’ stardom you guys experienced can do that. 5 stars to you guys, and much love and support too! We all thank you for coming back for the fans! I am sure I speak for many when I say that the fans who were with you in the beginning are still here to support you now. I remember when I was 11 years old, at my first New Kids concert…. I jumped up and down on the seats and ended up with a soar throat from screaming by the end of the night. Well, lets see if history repeats itself! I’m 30 now, but still quite capable of loosing my voice at a concert!
I too will be earely waiting in Chicago! October can’t come soon enough!
May 4th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

May 5th, 2008 at 7:55 am
I am so so excited. I have been a NKOTB fan for as long as I can remember. I was so in love with Joey. I remember having to buy everything that was NKOTB. I can not believe that they are back and have a new album. I was just talking to a friend of mine and we were saying how we wish they would come back again. Cathy xoxoxoxoxo

I have never stopped loving you all. I am 28 years old, and my friends and I listen to NKOTB everyday almost. We are SO SO excited about the new tour; so excited in fact, that we will driving 7 1/2 hours to Chicago IL from KY to the concert. When we all found out that you guys were having a tour; we had a Nursing final that day and didn’t even care… We listen to my Greatest Hits CD the rest of the day! We want you all to know that we have ALWAYS supported NKOTB and ALWAYS will. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
May 9th, 2008 at 9:53 pm

I am so happy to see this finally happening!!!!!!! My sister and I are still huge fans!!! We live in Ohio, and we were wondering if there was going to be a date set for us??? We would love to come see the show!!!!!!!!!
May 10th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
You guys still look stunning! It would be grand to share lunch with you at the Boston Pita Pit (479 Harvard Street, Brookline, Mass.) My treat! I look forward to hearing you guys on tour, the best of luck, Leah
May 10th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

May 12th, 2008 at 4:49 am
I am so pleased the fab 5 are back,I am now 32 yrs old and I have been a New Kids fan since the begining and I have missed their fantastic songs.
My favourite was and still is Joe (he’s such a cutie),I have seen New Kids live and I loved the concert and I have a request to the Boys…Could you PLEASE come to the UK (especally Scotland)so that I can get tickets for your show.
My Favourite NKOTB songs were: Hangin’ Tough, i’ll be loving you (forever), Cover Girl (i always wanted to be the little girl Donnie got up on stage), step by step, and Please dont go girl (joe’s voice is like an angel in that song)
Glad to see you back guys and Hope to see you on tour in the UK (especally Scotland)
May 12th, 2008 at 6:11 am
WOW!!!! I was so amazed a few weeks ago when I heard that NKOTB was going to be on The Today Show. Yeah, yeah, I never keep up with the news so I was late in the running. But at 32 years old, I was totally excited. I began to reminisce of many wonderful times I had in my youth. Needless, to say I am a huge fan. So, I was very curious to see what was going on. I have followed Donnie because he has acted so much and Joey because he had his own website and yada, yada. I had no idea what had happened to Jordan, Danny, or Jonathan. But I am glad you guys are doing this tour and some new music. It will be interesting to see the public response. I called my mom right away when I heard and she was so excited too. So, we sang some old songs and watched the videos here on the net. It was awesome!!! In hindsite, there were some pretty crazy times and I am sure it was pretty hectic and wild. I wonder if the world and NKOTB is ready for what might lay in the wake of this comeback. Hopefully, it won’t get too wild!!! WELCOME BACK GUYS!!!
May 12th, 2008 at 6:34 am
Hey!!
I have had to watch everything on youtube!!
Any plans to visit us in Australia
Love
Peta
May 12th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I can’t believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday that I was at Knott’s Berry Farm watching you guys onstage. I was like all the other fans… owned every photo, button, album, video… you were on it, I had it. Through the years I went to countless concerts as well, yet I was never fortunate to meet any of you. It’s so fun to have you back!! Can’t wait for you to come to Vegas (or close by.)
May 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Hey Guys
I was checking out the tour dates and I am wondering why you’re not going to be doing any shows in Alberta. :0(
I’m super excited that you guys are back together, I have been a fan ever since my big sister played step by step for me when I was a little girl! But I have to admit I am a little bummed out that you’re not going to be preforming in Alberta. :0( Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to see you guys in concert!
I think you should come on out here!
Thanks
Jill
May 12th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
That song is absolutely wonderful. It is so refreshing to here real music again and not all that rub it flip it mess that people call music now a days. You guys are great! Keep up the good work and continue to bring us music that me and kids can listen to alike. Love you guys!
Lisa L.
Please don’t forget Charlotte, NC.
May 13th, 2008 at 3:18 am
WELL GUYS YOU STILL GOT IT!!! I ONLY JUST FOUND OUT YOU GUYS WERE REFORMING AND I HAD TO LOG ON TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS TRUE AND SUDDENLY I HAVE REGRESSED INTO THE 13YR OLD BLOCKHEAD I WAS ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!
I LIVE IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND I KNOW YOU HAVE MANY HORDES OF FANS OVER HERE AND IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF YOU DECIDED TO INCLUDE BELFAST IN YOUR INTERNATIONAL TOUR AT SOME POINT. MY 12YR OLD SAW THE VIDEO TO HANG TOUGH ON VH1 THE OTHER DAY AND WAS CALLING ME IN TO SEE THIS NEW BAND AND THE HOT GUYS IN IT!!!! SHE COULDN’T BELIEVE I ALREADY KNEW WHO YOU WERE AND THE WORDS TO THE SONG AS WELL.
DONNIE YOU WERE ALWAYS MY FAVORITE AND IF TRUTH BE TOLD YOU STILL ARE. I HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR ACTING CAREER WITH KILL POINT BEING THE LAST THING I HAVE SEEN ON TV OVER HERE IN BRITAIN. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEW SINGLE AND OF COURSE SHALL BE STANDING IN LINE TO GET THE ALBUM AS WELL!!!!
May 13th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Welcome back NKOTB! When I heard the good news that you guys were going on tour I quickly informed my girls from grade school to see if they wanted to go to your concert. Sure enough eight ladies, e-mailed me back saying that they would LOVE to see you guys in concert.
I took the responsibility of purchasing the tickets, however, group tickets were sold out in an hour. I tried to buy tickets online and at the same time I had my cell and home phone on speed dial to ticketmaster. When I finally got through to ticketmaster, they were only selling single tickets and I needed eight tickets in total.
In grade seven we all went to your concert in Toronto. We know your songs like the back of our hands and are EXTREMELY disappointed that we didn’t get tickets to your show. We wanted (sooo badly) to have an “all girl” reunion of our own at your concert.
So I’m writing this blog to request ANOTHER CONCERT NIGHT IN TORONTO. We would LOVE to see you guys again! Please give us that chance.
May 14th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I am soooooooo excited
Check out this site and leave a personal message for the “kids”…

I am going to be 30 this summer and can’t believe this is happening! I have a second chance to go their concert. I was about eleven years old back then in El Paso, TX when I was not allowed to go and hopefully this time I can make it. I kind of want to wait to see if they come down to Phoenix, AZ but don’t want to risk not seeing them. This brings back childhood memories, I so had a crush on Jordan Knight. Their all still so handsome now. I will definitely buy the album when it comes out and record any where they perform on T.V., like this May 16th! I love how Donnie says ” I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.” WOW!!! It is so true, people would think we were crazy but they were just jeoulous! And now all of those haters will probable have kids that are now fans too and will have to take them to the concert. LOL Thanks again gentlemen for doing this the right way! Love, Patricia-Hanging Tough!
May 14th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
♥ Click, click, click!! It’s has such a great beat!!
I ♥ each one of you!! So glad you guys decided to
return and boy do you all look HOT!!! Hotter than ever! lol’
This tour is going to be great, were all “Legal” now, and
can party! lol KIDDING. I’M SO HAPPY!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I’m happy about the new music bit. I loved the NKOTB hysteria - some of my favourite teen memories, but I never did love the music. I haven’t listened to the new single yet but I think I’m going to be very happy with it. BTW Toronto sold out in 40 minutes but I got 2 tixs. Yeah!
May 15th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
I am so excited about NKOTB getting back together. My sons think I’ve gone nuts, lol. A few years ago when my daughter was about 6 years old she loved NSync and so I pulled out my old Hanging Tough VHS and she loved NKOTB much more and begged to go to an NKOTB concert. I had to tell her, “Sorry baby but they’re not together anymore but I wish you could’ve been there.” As soon as I learned that New Kids was going back on tour I told my daughter who is now almost 12 years old. We both plan on being at a concert and I’m so excited to be able to share New Kids On The Block with my daughter!!
My husband is very understanding which is awesome because I went crazy when I found out the guys are back together. I’m older, married and have kids now but I’ll always be a HUGS New Kids On The Block fan at heart!!
Thanks so much to all five of the guys on the Block for reuniting!! It’s the most awesome gift that each of you could give to us fans.
NKOTB RULES!!!!
May 15th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
It is my absolute dream to see you guys in concert. I wasn’t able to get to see you the first time around - I was raised in a small city in Texas (Amarillo) and you guys never toured there. Now, I’m in Phoenix, so I have my hopes way up. It would be an absolute dream come true to be able to see you guys perform. I can’t think of any other bands or singers I would rather see than you. ( :
Thanks for sharing your music - it really made a difference in my life. You are truly gifted and talented musicians. Best wishes to you and your families.

May 16th, 2008 at 4:45 am
I am absolutely over the moon that my favourite 5 guys are back together, can’t stop smiling.Can’t wait for the album so it can go with the originals. keeping my fingers crossed that they come to tour the UK again.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:14 am
I am so happy to see NKOTB come back. This was my first concert when I was a girl I had such a big crush…. When I saw them on the today show I had to let all my friends know that they where back together and that we all need to go to a concert. I am so glad they are back together… Since they are not coming to Charlotte appears the girls will be making a road trip to Atlanta to have a little fun and act like girls again. Thanks again for coming back!!!! We love you!!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 9:00 am
YOU GUYS STILL ROCK!!! I am now 35 years old and I love you guys….I went to see you guys when I was a senior in high school..you were in concert in valdosta GA!! it was a school night and we got back so late and still had to go to school the next day, lol…but it was worth loosing sleep to see you guys..You guys were the first and the last group i ever got to see in concert until I got married, and then I went to see a spanish group called LOS BUKIS that my husband absolutely adores..I have always remembered that experience…you guys were the best then and you are the best now. i am so happy you got back together!! I am looking now to purchase all of your music on CD. I hope you come to Georgia so I can come see you guys..I have always been a HUGE fan and I always will be…i have even talked about you guys to my kids…I love you guys! i watched you guys on the TODAY SHOW this morning!!! I was just in New York last week with my college. I am a late returner to college to study Medicine and i was chosen to go on this trip to New york last week. I was there at the TODAY SHOW last thursday and Friday when MJB was in concert….so cool…but I wished it could have been postponed for a week later…i would have been that crazed fan sitting outside the today show all week waiting hoping to get close to you guys! I will be keeping up with you guys and maybe i will be blessed to see you in concert and even more so, be able to take my kids to see the best group to ever come on stage NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK who are now most defintely MEN!! You guys are such an inspiration…Good luck guys, have fun and maybe I will get to relive one of the most memorable moments in my life and see you guys in concert again…I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 9:25 am
[...] acts, and this morning, I was transported back a decade and a half when I realized I was hearing a reincarnated New Kids on the Block. I was as little a fan of them then as most straight teenage boys were, and that much [...]
May 16th, 2008 at 11:50 am
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!! Finally, you have emerged BACK into the Music industry and with a BANG!!!! your new song is amazing and is pretty much a tease leaving us wanting MORE!! I can’t wait for your album’s release. I have been a HUGE fan since you first burst into the scene in 1986 and 22 years later HERE YOU ARE!!! Just as talented, Just as amazing. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hello, You all rocked the today show. Since you did not make a tourdate for Baltimore, MD, you will be seeing me at the DC show that you are performing at in October. I will be the one that is screaming the loudest so I should be easy to spot.
I was not able to see you when I was a little girl but now I am 25 and no one is going to stop this woman from going to see you now!!! NKOTB–I’ll be loving YOU forever!!!!!

If it’s possible we’d love for NKOTB to come to Hong Kong. You will be welcomed with much love!!
May 16th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
I just wanted to say thank you for making the decision to give all of your fans THE COMEBACK that we thought we’d only dream about. I’m looking forward to the new album and I can’t wait to see you perform live in concert. I wish all of you the best.
May 16th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
OMG, I was so insanely in love with you guys when I was like 13-14 years old! I saw you in concert twice, had posters plastered all over my walls and pretty much started a fan club for you at my school!! I am now in my early 30s and watching you on the Today show today took me back to my early teenage years. It was awesome! I can’t wait to get tickets for your LA show in October! Love you all!!!
May 16th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Welcome Back!
I am 12 again!!! I am still madly in love with all 5 of you! Congratulations on the new CD! I am so excited about seeing you in Phoenix, AZ on October 13!
Time to put the posters back up! (my poor husband)
I am screaming already!

I never thought you would reunite but I am amazed and proud of what I saw. I found myself giddy again at your talent, music and charm. Long live the Block! It’s great to see you guys again, stronger, wiser, but still my NKOTB!
Love,
Lucy
May 17th, 2008 at 12:31 am
I was 12 years old, when I fell in love with NKOTB, and thought I was going to marry Donnie Walhberg. I eventually moved on, and now am married with my own children. It is kinda weird, being 31 years old, and seeing the guys dance around singing “you got the right stuff”. Weird because my first thought is WHY? Why after all this time? Then I see you guys together, and I feel like a kid again. It is sad because, you look the same, and sound the same, and I look at me, and nothing is the same. I wish you guys luck! Can’t wait to buy the new album.
May 17th, 2008 at 12:34 am
This is marvellous news. I feel so excited.
Please say the guys will be coming to London, England?
May 17th, 2008 at 1:01 am
I can not believe that my wish has come true u are back and back with a vengence, loved u all then and still love u all now cant waite to hear the album and when are u touring the uk as want to see u all live
Best of luck to you all and your families

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!!!! You don’t have your own blog so I hope you see this wish…How awesome were you all on the Today show. I can’t wait to see you in Chicago. Jordan, you sound magnificent, and the dancing!! Nothing about you has changed a bit since the last time I saw you perform. I love the new song, I’m dying to hear more. Have a wonderful birthday-
Love, Beth Davis - Chicago

This as been a great surprise! The New Kids on the Block are back! I’ve just heard the news here at Portugal and it had make me feel real happy. Every time I hear the name NKOTB or hear a song it’s like a flashback to me teen years when you first started. Nowdays there are a lot of girlsbands and boysbands but what the kids nowdays don’t know it’s that all started with NKOTB! NKOTB songs are a great part of my teen years memories, so I’m realy glad to hear you once again. Have a great comeback, great shows and all the best. And after all this years, i’m still waiting for a concert here at the closest country in Europe to the USA, our litle in size, but big at heart and mind of people, Portugal.
Love and all the best, Marta - Lisbon, Portugal

I am so HAPPY YOU GUYS ARE BACK!!!!! I have been a fan ever since I can remember. I like other fans had everything NKOTB. Now though all I have left are each of your dolls. I am so happy to have them. I heard you guys on KIISFM 102.7 last week on my way to work I was so excited to hear you were back that I went into the school so excited I told everyone at your you were back. They thought I was acting like a 12year old girl but hey you cant help being excited about something you love. Welcom back. I love you guys!!!!!! J.G.
May 17th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
I heard about you guys getting back together at a meeting with fellow army wives, and I wish you would’ve seen the excitement in each of our eyes! We were all talking about going to see one of your shows just as soon as you came near us!
Seeing you the other day on the Today show, I was screaming and singing along and then all of a sudden I became overwhelmed with emotion and started crying! lol but it was because I love you guys so much and it felt great seeing you perform…
This reunion is awesome and has brought a spark back into my soul! Remember we love you and are all rooting for you always! Happy Birthday Jordan! I love you!!!!

You have no idea how much of a dream come true this reuinion is. At 12, I was in love with Joey Mac, I had New Kids dolls, collectors cards, T-shirts, you name it! My mother couldn’t afford to send me to a concert, so sadly, I never got to see my idols live. Now, finally, at 27, I am living out my childhood all over again! Thank you guys for making millions of people young again!
May 18th, 2008 at 9:06 am

When I saw you on the today show I was 10 again! Now i’m 29 and recently married but I still LOVE Joey McIntyre. You guys look great and I can’t wait to see you all when you come to San Diego. I wish you all the best and anticipate an AWESOME album. The new single is fantastic! I play it over and over in the car and on my ipod (ha no more cassette tapes)!

it’s funny, I was driving my 14 yr old nephew somewhere and “Summertime” came on the radio. I didn’t say a word. He listened to it, then the DJ said it was the new kids. My nephew looked truly surprised. He said, “THAT was the New kids on the Block?…..that’s a really good song. i like it…” It was a great feeling that he liked it too. It made me feel young again!
May 19th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I am so excited you guys are back!!! I feel like I am 12 again, once I watched the Today show I started listening to your old music! you meant so much to me at that time, I was in love with Jordan, lol. I had the big buttons, tapes, posters,you name it! You guys look great still, and loved the new single, can’t wait for more.
Love forever

NKOTB was cool back in the 90’s. But, doesn’t anybody feel that they should be called GMOTB - GROWN MEN ON THE BOULEVARD or better yet GAMOTB - GROWN ASS MEN ON THE BOULEVARD. So please, of they are going to continue to be referred to as NKOTB, please tell what neighborhood this block is in so that I can tell my teenage daughter to steer clear of it!!

I was rippin p’o'ed the other day when no one could tivo, or record that Today’s show concert. I had been hyped up for awhile, waiting to see it. My parents ended up tivo’ing the last part of the performance and I swear I got tears in my eyes. I felt 11 all over again. That’s when I fell in love with this force of nature, the New Kids On The Block. I had the bloody dolls, my room was wall-papered in pin-ups (ceiling to floor!!), I had tons of stickers, comforter and sheets with them, and I think some kind of trading cards, pins, you name it… My friends and I defended them to the boys in our classes, and we worshipped them like nothin else. It was truly exciting, and remembering how amazing it felt, and how mesmerized we all were….it really truly is like being a kid again :). Thanks New Kids, for the great memories and thanks for giving this beautiful gift of a second coming, musical messiah!

Hello guys!
I don’t know when you will read this message or if you’re ever going to read it but anyway I have to say that I am so HAPPY because you’ll be in Montreal! I’m looking forward to attend the show! I was 9 years old and you were 17 or 18 years old singing Step by Step! I was in “love” with Jordan at that time but then I fell for Joe I could not say why! This is my dream coming true, going to Montreal and see you live on a stage! Seriously you are the reason why I learn English, I wanted to go to Boston and marry Joe!!! Still have my frame, I bought it for 5$ to one of my friend and my “Barbies”. Not so long ago, I bought a dvd with all your videos and with one of my friend we are watching it and singing while getting ready to go out “Cover girl or Call it what you want”. Our neighbors might think we are crazy! I am 25 years old, and I am not afraid to say that I will buy your new album!
On May 16th it was my birthday and I listened to your song: Happy Birthday!
One your fan!
May 20th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Hey guys WHAT were you watching and loughing at here? It’s a very funny clip but I wonder what you were watching. Is this what you get up to behind the secenes :-)(you’ll have to copy paste onto you.tube link below)

You brought all of us 30 something mom BACK TO LIFE!!! Thank you !
May 20th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I must say when you guys were on the Today show I felt like I was a kid in my mom’s living room all over again. Instead my two year old stood there and danced to your music with her mom. I would love to see you guys when you come to STL in November 08 but I will not be able to. My daughter has had two liver transplants and she keeps our budget tied up. I will be sure to follow you guys, as I have for the last twenty years. Have a safe tour and hopefully I will be able to see you again someday.
May 20th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
wow, it is so exciting to see the new kids come back after all these years. i remember them when they first came out i was very young around six or seven and i used to listen to them all the time.i did have my favorite new kids, but i remember purchasing their new albums everytime they came out on the late eighties through the early nighties. i have always enjoyed their music and singing along they were such great role models. now im in my mid twenties i still enjoy their music, and so cool to finally see them together again and have a reunion tour. i got so hyped when i heard the great news.. i will be loving them forever. their no. one fan.

NKOTB,
What a perfect time to comeback and entertain your old fan base! There are no other “boy bands” out right now… so ALL eyes are on you! How amazing that must feel!
I remember being 7 years old when I got my first crush, AND guess who..Joey McIntyre! It’s funny how now, that I’m 24, he gives me the same chills up my spine and now I get to experience that feeling all over, I feel like a little kid again!
PS- This gave me the chills: “I want them to be so satisfied by what they get that they’ll realize they weren’t crazy all those years ago — that they put their heart into the right place back then and that it was worth the wait to come back again.”
May 21st, 2008 at 8:10 am
Hi guys!!
I’m beside myself right now!!! So happy to hear that you guys are back. You have given me so many wonderful memories. My sister was a dedicated fan of yours. Unfortunately she died in 1994 of cancer. As I hear the songs playing I can see her dancing,singing to your songs and putting posters up anywhere she can find a spot.Thank you for the memories!!!!! Love your new song!!!!!
May 21st, 2008 at 9:18 am
Guys!!! I feel like I’m 16 all over again. I can’t stop thinking and reminiscing about the days when live was simpler and you guys were everywhere. I pray that this reunion is not just a one time, one shot deal. Your music is incredible, the values and morals that each one of you stand for were an example for me, and now an example for my daughter. Each and every one of you are individually successful, however, when you are together, you are unstoppable, and even more successful. There is something MAGIC about the 5 of you together as one group. But you already know this. I must say that you were all hot 15 years ago, and “time has been on your side”. Joe, it has been a privilege watching you grow from a young man to the man you are today. Thank you for taking me along on the ride. Jordan!!! You are breathtaking as always. Can’t wait to see your moves in person again. I think it is safe to say, that I speak for all of us fans, PLEASE DON’T LET THIS END AFTER ONE ALBUM, AND ONE TOUR!!!!!! WE ARE IN THIS FOR AS LONG OF A HAUL AS YOU WILL LET US BE!!!!!! I personally plan to pay what ever it takes for the meet and greet at a minimum of 3 shows this tour and hopefully even more in the future!! To your wives and children, I must say, they are the luckiest NKOTB fans on the face of the earth. I am jealous.
FOREVER AND ALWAYS A PROUD NKOTB FAN!!!!!

By the way, my 13 year old daughter is hooked as well. Joe you still have an affect on the young ladies.
May 21st, 2008 at 10:48 am
Well when i hear that you were getting the band back together i couldn’t believe it. i thought could this be true? then when i saw your performance on the today show well i was elated. when i was younger i thought i was your biggest fan but i’m sure no i’m positive that everyone thought that they were your biggest fan. but still i held on to all your tapes yeah that’s right i still have tapes not cd’s. lol and even though you stopped making music i still followed you guys i bought the solo albums that came out and even watch the movies that you guys were in. knowing or hopping that one day you would get back together and know it us here i can’t wait to buy the cd. i live in massachusetts so i guess that i feel a stronger bond to you guys because your all from mass.
love always
your true number one fan
May 21st, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I have always loved you guys! I was 12 yrs old with a dream to marry Jordan. LOL! I tried to win tickets on the radio to see you guys, but I had no such luck! My parents couldn’t afford to buy tickets.
Now, I’m 31 & I can have my dream come true of going to see a concert! Blockhead forever & always!
May 21st, 2008 at 10:07 pm
I am so thankful for this reunion. I watched a reunion show on VH1 or the E channel where they “tried” to get you guys to get together for a reunion. I was so sad to see that you guys declined and all of you moved on with your lives. You forgot about your fans at that point…. you all have to remember that even though you are over it, your fans will always be a fan. I am so thankful that you are doing this reunion! You have made me very happy and I feel like I am 9 years old again. Thank you so much for caring for your fans. See you in Vegas!
May 22nd, 2008 at 11:38 pm
Jordan! Where’s your blog?! =(
May 23rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Hi guys,there is a million things I want to say to all of you,but first & formost is that I am soooo happy about the Reunion Tour.I have been a fan since 1989,I live in NYC so thankfully I was able to see you guys very often.I already seen you both times at the TodayShow and I was even lucky enough to goto the ZOOTOPIA concert.You guys were GREAT!I felt like a 15yr old kid again.I even went backstage that night and got a chance to talk with you all.I have to say you all are still drop dead gorgious!Donnie you were so sweet to me and even remembered me from back in the day!That ment the world to me to hear you say that,and you were so greatful for all the support from the fans.All my friends are calling me crazy because of how much I’ve been talking about you guys,but I don’t care.I am a true fan and always will be.I already have tickets to all the concerts coming up in September.I can’t wait you guys are going to be amazing!Until then MUCH LOVE,Roxann XOXO NYC
May 24th, 2008 at 7:15 am
Hey guys!!!
I am so excited to see you in concert. The first time I saw you guys in concert was in September of 1989, when you were doing the State Fair tours with Tiffany when I was 12 years old. I am now 31 years old, I have three beautiful children, and I am proudly married to a U.S. Marine. I am proud to say that I have been a New Kids fan over the years even when you were not in the spotlight as much. I have watched movies with Donnie in them, Jordan begin a solo career, Joe on Dancing with the Stars, Boston Legal, and has his own solo career, I always wondered about Jon and Danny and hoped that they were happy in life. You guys are a huge part of my life! I look back at being a kid and you inspired me to be myself, and to love music. I have to thank you for giving me some of the best friends I have had in my life. The friends that I still have today are the friends that shared our love for you and for everything that you stood for. I am happy to say that after almost twenty years, you have brought us even closer. I currently live in Virginia Beach,VA with my family, but I am flying back to my home town in Omaha, NE this November to attend your show with my “oldest and dearest friends.” Throughout this new tour and experience, please remember the impact that you have had on peoples lives and their relationships. I would just like to say thank you for all that you inspired me to be back then, for the inspiring me for who I want to be today, and most of all for teaching me that one of the greatest gifts you can give someone in life is your friendship. So good luck with the album and best wishes for a successful tour. May God bless each and every one of you!

P.S. Joseph is such a great name that I have a beautiful 10 year old son named Joseph.

May 24th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Donnie-
One more thing…I know this is asking alot, but I was wondering if you could dedicate a song in Omaha, Nebraska who is now looking down on us. The girl I am speaking of is Jessica Haney. I met Jessica Haney in 2nd grade, when she was new to my school. She won me over instantly. She was beautiful, intelligent, kind, honest, and full of life. Most of all she was your biggest fan!! Jessie was one of the greatest people you could ever meet, and she had a personality that seemed to mirror yours so much it was almost scary..LOL. We continued to be friends throughout grade school, even after I changed schools in 4th grade. I was thrilled when I realized that we had chosen the same high school, but that was only short lived, when we found out in our sophmore year that her mother was moving to Las Vegas and she had to move. I was devastated that I would no longer be greeted by that amazing smile in the hallways at school, or be able to hear that contagious laugh that brought me to tears of joy almost everytime I heard it. After she moved we kept in contact for a while but, lost track of each other after we graduated in 1995. Our home town of Omaha is a big city with the feel of a home town so it seems as though everyone knows someone that knows someone else so when tragedy strikes, even with me living in Arizona at the time that August in 2002, it is not that uncommon to hear about it right after it happens. I received a phone call from my sister that Jessie had passed. I couldn’t even breathe once I heard the news. Although we hadn’t spoken in a long time, I had always considered her a dear friend. We grew up together, and we shared a love for NKOTB that was unmatched. Jessie was only 25 years old when she went, so vibrant, and full of life. The even larger tragedy was that her newborn daughter passed with her. I know that Jessie is with God, but thinking about the great times we had talking about New Kids, attending the concerts, and growing up together still brings a tear to my eye everytime I think about it. It reminds me today, of how excited she would be to see you again, and how much she would have enjoyed this reunion. I know this is asking alot, but Jessie in my heart was your biggest fan Donnie, and somehow I know that she will be looking down on that concert and be rockin’ along to all the songs that shaped her childhood. If it’s not possible that’s okay too, but I at least wanted you to hear her story and for you to know that there was once a young a vibrant girl named Jessica Haney from Omaha, NE that was your biggest fan!
Thank you,
Sara Mausbach
Jessie, I will be thinking of you on 11/12/08, and I know that you will be watching the show right along with us. Love you always…Sara.
May 26th, 2008 at 9:03 am

much love..

May 27th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Hi Guys!!!
I just want to say I’ve never stopped listening to your albums. From records to tapes and now cd’s. Anyway, my point is that I’ve never stopped loving you guys!
As soon as I found out you guys were reuniting, I knew I had to see you in concert. To top it all off, I found out the date of your concert in my city, is on my birthday. So, this will be the best birthday present ever, seeing my favourite group perform, on my birthday! What more could I ask for?! Well, there is one thing…I would love it if you could sing “Happy Birthday” that night. My best friend and I sing your version, of happy birthday to each other every birthday. It’s the Toronto, Canada concert on Sept. 21, I turn 28. It would really be a dream come true!
Love Aileen.

What can i say? I feel like a 16 year old again! I was such a huge, huge fan that i had every record on every format you ever produced! My friends would say i was crazy because every inch of my bedroom walls and ceiling was covered int he most gorgeous pictures of you guys. I saw you in concert 3 times, once in Edinburgh and 2 in Glasgow. Glasgow was my favorite as if was on 8th Dec 1990 and it was my birthday, and we were about three rows back and had the most amazing view, what a great show that was.
please tell me you are coming to the UK?? I am now a 33 years woman, but i will be screaming like a 16 year old when i see you in concert again!!!
Love you guys xx

June 3rd, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I too feel like i am 15 years old again. This is the best news ever, i just hope the boys won’t disapoint their loyal UK fans and come on over to Blighty in the near future. we’ve had all the other boy bands reform but have have been desperately waiting for the biggest and bestest band ever to get back together, and it has happened. thank you for making my year so far. PS when you do tour over here, i will be the 32 year old in the front row screaming her lungs off!!!!! See you soon handome boys x
June 4th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Wow, great to hear that you’re back. I’m now 33 and so excited - it’s just like I’m 15 again. Hope to see you very soon in Germany! I’ll be there

Welcome back guys you have been missed. Love the new track and I can’t wait for the new album. You all look fantastic. Good luck with the tour and fingers crossed you make it to Australia again. I was 14 when you where here in 1992 and now at 30 I am just as big a “blockhead” as I was then. Thank you for coming back.
Love you guys

hi new kids on the block
are you comeing to the usa
iam 29 years old
June 9th, 2008 at 8:11 am
NKOTB,
I am so disappointed with the outcome of my attempt to purchase tickets to your Duluth, GA show. My friend and I have been huge fans since we were kids and decided to purchase tickets to this concert the moment we found out you were coming to Georgia. Ticketmaster shows that tickets begin at $37.50 (the others are $57.50 and $77.50). I have tried numerous times to purchase two $37.50 tickets via internet and phone and have repeatedly been told that those tickets are no longer available. Yet, I attempted last week AS SOON AS (the very minute) the American Express presale tickets went on sale to purchase them and they were unavailable then. I tried all week long and, unavailable. The very minute ticket sales opened to the public this morning, I attempted again thinking they must just not have been selling the tickets in that price range during the presale. Again, no tickets available. I know your concert will sell out but the $37.50 tickets couldn’t have sold out the very minute the tickets ever went on sale. So, where were they? My friend and I got our hopes up and were excited to come to your concert to support your reunion. We are very disappointed to not be able to get tickets in the price range that they were supposed to have been sold in as we cannot afford to pay any higher price.
Disappointed and confused,
Kelly

Thank you guys so much for coming back. I loved you guys since I was a little girl. Let me just say I have been driving the boyfriend crazy talking about guys and how excited I am at the prospect of seeing you in concert. Ya’ll are like a fine wine and have grown and aged beautifully. God what a bunch of gorgeous men. You music still makes a girls heart flutter and even skip a beat!!! Love you guys!!

Hi fellas:
It is so wonderful to see all of you together again. The first concert I attended was to see all of you at Star Lake Ampitheatre in Burgettstown, PA. I hope you come back to burgettstown or Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh pa so I can enjoy your music once again. I just had the pleasure of listening to your new single last night on utube and I think it is great! In addition, I wanted to thank Donnie for his kindness when I was growing up for his autographed NKOTB autobiography and picture that I received through Betsy. One more thing, I wanted to let you all know I loved Face The Music also, but I guess it was ahead of its time. I hope all of you are well and I wish all of you the best, May God Bless You and I hope to see you soon in concert.
June 13th, 2008 at 9:51 am

Congratulations on the reunion! I am incredibly excited that you are back together and can’t wait until I can see you in concert in Calgary again. The only question I have is when can I buy the new album?!?!
Best Regards and Happy Father’s Day from one of your biggest and longest and truest fans,
Gillian.

What’s up Guys! I am so excited that you are coming to SAN ANTONIO TEXAS! Glad to see all of you back together again. Most of all you ALL look fabulous!
I too grew up being a Celtics fan since I’m from Connecticut, so I have been watching the game. I am so glad that Celtics get to return to Boston and play on there home court and kick Lakers butt!
Since I live in San Antonio and have a 4 year old boy, we also are SPURS FANS!! San Antonio is known as the party city. Can’t wait to party on riverwalk. Hope you ALL can be there and visit the Alamo and Riverwalk.
June 16th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Hey guys, im 15, i just started listening to your music, and i love it :P:). Your new song SUMMERTIME, is awsome and perfect time to get it out in the start of summer. great song….. keep up the good work:P:)
June 16th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
please..i just hope they come to Portugal…i never saw them..sniff sniff
June 18th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I am so glad that you guys are reforming the group. So many of us have been waiting for so long for this. I have only one problem with it… why aren’t you coming to Winnipeg? Your fans here have been just as supportive as the fans in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver. Why are we being left out of your tour schedule? I’m a little hurt and just a wee bit pissed that I have hoping for so long that I’ll be able to see you again, but now it won’t be happening. Is there any chance you’ll change your minds and come to Winnipeg, please?
June 21st, 2008 at 5:39 am
Hey guys! I’m so excited that you are coming back! VERY excited (along with all my gurlz) to see you on Oct. 25 at the Palace in Michigan!! You have MUCH respect from me being on the comeback trail, and as soon as this new cd is out, it’s mine!!
June 22nd, 2008 at 10:32 am
I LOVE THE NEW MUSIC!!! When is the CD coming out???
I guess I’m one of the older fans, then. I was in my late teens during the Hangin’ Tough, Step by Step era. I remember Magic Summer vividly! I wanted one of those magic coke cans so badly!!!
I’m 36 (divorced, ahem)
now and feel like a teenager excited about seeing your concert again! Can’t wait until November in Kansas City!!!
For Danny–section 3 row 25 seat 12…just in case.

June 23rd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Thank you guys soooo much for coming back! This is a dream come true! I wanted to see you so bad when I was a kid. You came to Hawaii and we were stationed there. My best friend got to go but my mom wouldn’t let me go! I thought I had lost my opportunity but you guys have made it possible again! You’re the best!!!!!!!! I’m coming to Atlanta to see you in October. NKOTB lives FOREVER!!!!
June 27th, 2008 at 8:53 am
I surely hope, you will come on a concert tour to Germany. I was playing Summertime on my mp3 during my vacation last week and can’t get it out of my head anymore. This is a great song and I just love you guys. You changed my life back in the 90s and I have followed your careers ever since. I really wish you all the best and hope that your friendship grows even stronger this time. You’re the best. Keep going! Love, xxx Manja

COME TO SWEDEN ON YOUR TOUR
June 29th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Welcome Back Guys
You have so many fans that have never given up on you.
Through out the years, your fans have been made fun of for loving you,
but NOW you are proving to the fans and the people that made fun us for loving you. So HA to them….WE WON ! !
July 1st, 2008 at 6:32 am
I am so excited to see you all back together. Step by Step and hangin tough were the first songs I added to my ipod- last Dec!!! I have downloaded summertime, and can’t stop playing it! My daughter loves it too- a new generation of New Kids fans!!!
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 am
I’m so excited that you all are back and going on tour! I have been a fan since I was 6 years old…. and still know all the words to “please don’t go girl”, my favorite New Kids song. I was not allowed to go to your concerts because I was too young, according to my mom. My best friend was in the same situation. We are going to your show in Tampa together and are so stoked! My sister will be joining us, although she has NEVER let me forget that when she saw yall in, I think it was ‘89, she had second row seats, got pushed up to the front and some how, some way Jordan kissed her hand. I remember her coming home and telling me the story so vividly! We’ve invited her to come with us and her first comment was, “yeah, so Jordan Knight kissed my hand”. She’s 29 years old for God’s sake and still rubbing it in my face!
Anyway, have a safe trip to Europe and we’ll see yall in Tampa on Nov 2nd.
Ciao!

Hi guys,
I’ve been a fan since always, I still have my DONNIE ken doll which is prohibited for my kids to play with (hehehehe)only if I’m playing and he is the Daddy jajajajaja 
you can’t imagine how glad I’m with your comeback
Heck! I even keep my old NKOTB twin bed blanket sheets somewhere in my closet :D.
I lost most interest in music since you guys …well.
My hubby is a big music fan, and with your comeback he is shcoked to see me dancing and singing all your songs once again jajajaja. HE IS EVEN TAKING ME TO YOUR CONCERT IN ARIZONA!!!! YUPI!
well enough, gotta get back to mommy bissiness
It’s nice to see you back guys.
LOVE FOREVER!
TRIX (Mexico)
July 6th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Once a fan - always a fan!!
I hope you’ll come to Norway on tour! I saw you in concert in Oslo in 1991, and it was awesome!
July 7th, 2008 at 11:44 am
i just watched your summertime video i gotta tell you it rocked my socks right off. i hope you come to jacksonville fl i wanna meet you and wear your faces like masks i have been a loyal fan forever send me your underwear.
July 8th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
OMG Guys I’m sooo Excited about your comeback. I was 13 years old when you all first hit the radio and from the moment I heard you I loved you. My room was covered top to bottom with posters of you all like so many other teenage girls at the time. It broke my heart when you guys split up, and broke it yet again when I finally took down all the posters and pictures I had collected, and now 15 years and Two daughters later I have a reason to pull those posters out of the attic!!!!
I was driving down the road with my 10 year old and Summertime came on the radio and she told me to “TURN IT UP MOM!!” because she loved this song. I turned and looked at her and asked if she knew who it was and shes like of course Mom Its New Kids on The Block!!!
After all these years you guys still rock and are hotter then ever, see you in Atlantic City, with my daughter!!!
Love you guys SOO glad your back!!!!
(that still sometimes seems weird to me, my girls in 2008 going crazy over the same band I did 15yrs ago)
July 10th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I’m sooo glad that you guys came back. As I’ve put it since I heard about it, is “once a fan, always a fan.” And I’m very proud to say that. When we were all younger, ya’ll were going to have a concert somewhere here in Wisconsin but then we found out it got canceled. I think i cried for like 2 weeks cause i wanted to see you guys. i was in 3rd grade then and now im 25 and married. wishing i could come see you guys in milwaukee in october.
i loved you guys then and i love you guys even more now. i even bought joeys first single album but never had the chance to buy jordans. but i still loved everything i heard from both.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:32 am
I cant believe it that you Come back in 2008.when i start my new life in Japan now.Hope u make consert in Indonesia and Japan now.U are old group but for me you are always new….the songs is very cool…..Kakuii…honto ni kakui…sungguh lagu tersebut bagus sekali…hope we meet again….suddenly i remember while i am in junior high school…still i cant believe that you are back….love you all Jordan,Joe,Donny,Jon and Danny….
July 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I cannot say how excited I am that you guys are back together. I never got the chance to see you guys in concert when I was younger so now I am going to be in the front row just like I always dreamed of. I have the best memories of dancing with my friends to our favorite NKOTB songs and listening to your new songs has made me feel like a teenager again! So thanks for the memories and the chance to live out my teenage dreams.See you in L.A.!!!
July 15th, 2008 at 5:45 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting back together. I love you guys and always will. Once a Blockhead, always a Blockhead! I only got to see you once in concert as I was ‘too young’, so I can’t wait for you to head back to the UK. I will be there!!
i said hey, hey, I feel alright. Five times!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Aggghhhh!!! I cant believe I am only just reading this now in July.I cant quite believe it still. My mum called me and says to me do you know about NKOTB? and I laughed and said Yeahhh you know I do.

I hope you can go back to Manila…You went here in the early 90’s but I wasn’t able to go ‘coz I wasn’t allowed by my overprotective folks (I was 10 years old then). I’m a mom now at 27 yet when I see your videos I still scream the same way I did back in grade school!!!
July 17th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

July 20th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Hey guys, about time you had a come back, congratulations etc. I feel silly sending this as a thirty something fan, who at one point had every inch of her bedroom dedicated to you!! I am hoping to see some dates for a tour in Uk soon, I will wait with breathless anticipation until that day. Wishing you every happiness and sucess with the future. Donnie, if you read this, you are yummy!xx
July 24th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Congratulations! Summertime is a great track! I was a fan from way back when you guys released You Got It (The Right Stuff). I’m 29 years old now and I’ll always consider myself to be a NKOTB fan. I never got to see you guys in concert because I live in Australia (and I was pretty young back then too). Pretty, pretty please come to Australia for a concert (or two). I’ll keep my eyes and ears peeled and my fingers crossed. Good luck with your touring - hope it all goes really well. And most of all, enjoy yourselves and know we love you!!! Love from Gillian
July 24th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I found out today that ya’ll are back! Congrats! Yea! I have been a fan since I was 4 years old! I’m excited to see ya’ll in concert October 17th here in San Antonio, Texas…I just have to get a group of girls together! Wish ya’ll well and good luck with the touring! Muah! Hello Jordan and Joey
July 24th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I sort of feel like I’m 13 again, in a very excited and nostalgic way. With the excitement also comes extreme joy that all of you are healthy and just as good as ever! I can’t believe I’m almost thirty and I still get as excited as I did almost 20 years ago. Your musical talent has grown with you and I love the “New”, NKOTB sound. You’re more than a group, you surpass that and have lifetime fans that will forever stand by your side. It’s hard to find the words that would suffice; all of you have made a connection with so many millions of people. We’ve watched you mature and feel so fortunate to get more of the creativity that encompasses the NKOTB. THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK! I will support you guys in anything you do. Please give us more!!!
July 26th, 2008 at 7:40 am
my mom told me all about you guys. my favorite song is summertime. i think you guys are all cute. i am going to beg my dad to see you in milwaukee, wi. i just can’t wait to hear your new song. i’m so happy you guys are back together. good luck…

July 27th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Hey guys! again. I can’t stop thinking about ya’ll. So happy ya’ll are back! We are all adults now!
Love the video “Summertime”. Wish that was me in Jordan’s arms in the video! So yes I was 4 years old when the right stuff came out in 88′ but loved you then and love you now. I’m all grown up Jordan and know what I want! lol I’m actually awaiting for your friend approval on myspace. Ok, bye for now. Muah! Much Love, Michele
July 29th, 2008 at 4:11 am
I’m so excited that you guys are back! I’ve been a fan since way back when, and I have to say that I about lost it when I heard on the radio here in Germany that you are back, and then they played “Summertime”! I love it! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album… Congratulations, guys!
July 30th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Hi NKOTB I nearly drooped dead down after I found out you are back together. I was only 11 years old when you were on the top in the past now Im 27. I come from Slovakia but as I fell in love with english language thankfuly to you guys as well I wanted to get better in it so I went abroad to GB ( Isle of Man) lovely place where I found my english boyfriend. I live here still for more than 3 years now, but remember where do I came from. You were so popular in Slovakia (Czechoslovakia then) as we split as country in 1993.Anyway I have seen your video Summertime yesterday and I love it and of course nostalgy and memmories got me. I really am so happy you boys are back together and hope we will hear from you a lot from now on. I wish you all the best and hope you will please us with your new songs. Missed you very much specialy Joe. love you all always Jana xxx
July 31st, 2008 at 5:00 am
I was just watching tv when I saw your new single! I can hardly believe it! why am I just discovering this for the first time today!!! I saw you guys in Glasgow when I was about 14 and now I am 32. I have a box at my mums house full of NKOTB merchandise, tshirts, videos, singles, cassettes, posters, books and loads more. I would never throw any of it out. My cousin in Canada used to go down to Boston and meet you guys and your families when she could and she would send me the photos of you! Little Joey was always my favourite and boy are you still hot! Was looking to find out when you will be touring and there are no UK dates yet. Please, if you come to the UK, come to Glasgow or Scotland too. Don’t just make it London like alot of bands do. I have really missed you and the music and you have really made my day, week, month…
kisses to all.

August 2nd, 2008 at 7:56 pm
And the memories are coming back…….. As with most fans I was too sad when the group called it quits but life did go on but the memories have not left me for a moment. We dont get much about you guys over here in Australia so i will stay tuned, you guys have some loyal fans over here so it would be great if u could make it back here soon… We would be gratefull.
Thanks for the music and memories, our days are now brighter with you guys around..Looking forward to the Album. XX00XX.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I got choked up when I read this…should I be embarrassed? Nah, life is tough sometimes, growing up is tough sometimes and having something that was so positive to be SO excited about back then was a privilege. Who I am today has a lot to do with what I experienced during those years pretty formative years during which time I happened to be a huge New Kids fan. So I look back at that time fondly. And we were right about them, weren’t we fellow New Kids fans? I’m glad to see you guys back and I’m glad that it’s with music that’s going to make those who weren’t up for the ride the first time smack themselves upside the head and go ‘Oh, I get it now!’
So thanks for the memories, and I’m looking forward to making new ones.
Big fat juicy yet undisgusting kiss to you all!
August 12th, 2008 at 8:42 am
The first time I saw you guys in concert I was twelve years old and missing the first week of seventh grade just to go to Seattle and see you guys. Now I’m thirty and my inner 12-year-old is about to be unleashed all over again!
I love you guys!
August 12th, 2008 at 9:20 am
hey guys,its good to have you back.i’m from manchester in the UK,i’m 31yrs old now,but was a teenager when u guys first started out.over the yrs,i’ve still listened to old tapes that i have,which i had refused to part with,my eldest son(13yrs),closes his ears when i sing along to your songs.songs bringing back fond childhood memories!!though i’m not sure my mum would agree,as she caught me playing truant from school just to try and catch a glimpse of you all when you stayed at the Ramada Hotel,Deansgate,Manchester,England,or some of my friends would also disagree as i wouldnt move out of the house at 1 point because i was making a big sequined banner to hold up at your concert at the GMEX centre,as i said,fond memories!! WELCOME BACK.But come on,realise that you still have a big fan base here also,don’t neglect us we need tour dates for the uk.i’d love to finally say hi to you guys in person,couple of pics,so,make mine VIP.xx.
August 12th, 2008 at 9:24 am

Joe,
In one part you said; “We never slammed the door shut – we just sort of walked away. And at that point, we weren’t exactly going to hold a press conference because no one really cared.”….. I really hope you weren’t talking about your fans, because we have always cared about you guys and always will.
God Bless,
Hugs and Kisses,
DiAnne
August 21st, 2008 at 11:05 am
Ma favorite New Kid has always been Jordan. God he was hot back then, and still is today. I used to love you guys… it is hard to explain it. I was about 11-12 years old back then. Like Joe said, most of the fans are now between 25-35. I’M 30 now. When I got to Junior High I forced myself to not love you anymore as it was not cool to like the New Kids even in an only girls school… anyhow, I just bought the New Kids greatest hits album and I listen to it while I work. Still know all the songs….
can’t wait to see you guys in Montreal.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I just happened to stumble on to VH1 and saw that The New Kids were on the list with “Summertime” and I was instantly taken back. I was such a huge fan in the 80s and 90s and I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (can’t find the perfect word) to know that they are back. I found a cassette tape (yes, not a CD) of the New Kids in an auction once and I bought it. My tape was ruined after playing it so long as a teenager. My husband later found it on CD for me so that I could download it to my MP3 player. Guys would make fun of me in high school because I LOVED New Kids and they were just jealous. I feel like a teenager again just tying this and I can hear their music in my head. THANKS FOR COMING BACK, I LOVE YOU GUYS and I know that my daughter who is 12 will fall in love with you too.
Love,
Terrie
August 28th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Wow I can not believe it has already been almost 20 years now since the beginning. Boy does time fly by quickly when you age it seems. I was in my teens when you first started and now I am in my 30’s. I was so excited when I got the news that you guys decided to reunite and the news made me feel like a teenager again because it brought back a lot of favorite memories for me. LOL I am really looking forward to the new album coming out. So far all the new songs you have released I love. Right now Click Click Click is my favorite but that might just be my favorite because my husband brought out a hidden talent for me which is photography almost 3 years ago which over 4 months ago I started shooting at the professional level.
I am really excited for your guys and I am happy that you guys have decided to reunite. I am especially also proud to see Jon returning for the reunion cause I know it took a lot of courage for you to come back. I also suffer from anxiety and know how hard it is and it has been a hard process to a long road of recovering. You deciding to come back and reunite with the other 4 guys is such an inspiration to me
I wish you guys the best of luck on your New Journey

September 2nd, 2008 at 9:50 am
Guys! even I Could not be in a live concert while I was a huge fan, Im very excited you’ve decide to come together one more time. But guys! about history, in the mean-time between Jackson 5 and NKOT, where Menudo! c’mon people! you guys Have heard about Ricky Martin. He was a Menudo’s later member (its a Menduo’s story). They made a huge comeback too few years ago. Just so u know!
Hope this time you considered to come to Puerto Rico!
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Just bought tickets! I cannot believe this is happening! I’m FREAKING 28!
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:19 pm
I WAS OBSESSED WITH YOU GUYS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 8 YEARS OLD. I’M GLAD YOU ARE GOING TO SING YOUR OLD SONGS WITH YOUR NEW SONGS. AS YOU MENTIONED, PLEASE SING THEM LIKE YOU DID BEFORE.

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! Wow! I am SO glad to see you guys back. I am so excited! I have been feeling really old lately. I’ll be 31 this week, I am married with 3 little girls and driving a mini van. Thanks to you guys I feel like I’m 13 and carefree again! My kids, 6 4 and 10 months, are quickly learning the lyrics to your old songs as I pull out my old tapes and videos. My 10 month old gets excited when she sees Jon on the videos and reaches for the tv it’s very cute. The 4 yr old LOVES Donnie & Danny she thinks they are the greatest dancers EVER!She tries to copy your every move… I see broken arms in her future hehe And the 6 yr old has a crush on Joe and wants to sing like Jordan. they start young!
Anyway enough rambling I’m very grateful that all 5 OF YOU decided to come back! Awesome! Your concert was the first I ever went to when I was 11 and I am thinking of making it the first for my 2 oldest girls also! I am SOOOO glad you are back. I hope the best for all of you personally and professionally!

Welcome back, gentlemen!
I send you greetings from a weary state as well as a thankful state. The thanks comes in part from the part that Gustav could have, and should have been, a lot but it was only by the power and the grace of God that we were spared! Sadly enough, there were a total of 8 people killed due to GUstav’s visit. The city of Lake Charles and the parish of Calcasieu will not be given aany grant money from FEMA and the city of Baton Rouge is still in desperate need of water, tarps, ice and so on. Everyone in the state of Louisiana really appreciate the sacrafice you five made in canceling your show for your fans in N.Y. . Now that the storm has almost completely left us, it’s time for us here in this great state to pull together and help each other out just as we did in both Katrina and Rita. I pray that you men will keep us in your prayers as we pray for each other here as well. Again, thank you and welcome back.
MAY GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE,
MISS THERESA DOYLE

OMG!!! I can’t believe you guys are back. I remember dancing to you guys when I was a kid, and here I am with two kids and married. My eldest son being the age I was when I was dancing around to your music. I only wish you guys were coming Australia on your tour. Please say that you are. I would so be there. Congrats!! You guys have always achieved the best and I am absolutely positive you will again.
September 9th, 2008 at 1:26 am
OMG I’ve just seen you guys on BBC Breakfast TV and I’m having flashbacks to 1989 when I was 17 years old in High School, and madly in love with all 5 of you, lol! I’m now 36 years old, onto my second marriage and a mum, but I feel like a teenager again to hear that you’re getting back together! Its like Deja Vu! I can’t wait to catch you on your UK tour!!!
September 9th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Welcome back guys. Just saw you yesterday at HMV London, man you guys still got the moves. Thanks Donnie for taking a picture with me, i wasn’t really an avid fan back then, but LOVED the songs. This album speaks to me more and going through a divorce sucks big time but listening to your album helps in some ways not to think about it. Thanks Guys.
September 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Hey guys!
You made my day yesterday, so much more… Meeting you was like doing something for that young girl in me that was so desperate for that moment and it’s indescribable. Thank you for your time. Thank you Donnie for that hug, I can still feel it, thank you Danny, thank you Jonathan, thank you Joey - even without the hug, thank you Jordan and sorry for the headbutt and for kicking over your coffee… oops. I’m never clumsy but I guess no sleep, no food, slight dehydration and fulfilling a childhood dream got the better of me.
I love you all, you’re like old friends and it’s amazing having you back. I’m so happy that you guys are calling the shots now too, even back then I felt bad for you for not getting everything the fans were giving. This time round it just feels so right. Welcome back and welcome home!

I am so glad you guys are back. I was a great big fan of yours when I was in highschool. I always had a crush on Jordan. I though he was so cute. He is still such a handsome guy. You are going to be in milwaukee in October. Its not very far from where I live either. I live in Menasha. I sure wish I could go but I don’t have the funds to do that right now. Plus I have been very sick in the past 6 months. I came so close to being 6 ft. under. I would love it if you would email me at shebraun12@yahoo.com. That would be a very good medicine for me. I was also wondering is Morice still your manager or didn’t he come back with you guys. I would love to here from you. Especially Jordan.
September 10th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Was along for the ride 20 years ago and I’m ready to go another round! I am ecstatic that you’re back. Back then I needed my parents permission to stay up late to catch you on Arsenio Hall, but this time i call the shots! Lol Thanks for everything, then and now. I love the new album and am having a blast playing the old ones. You’re even hotter now! love ya
September 11th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
hey there awesum that there is finally a reunion for this awesum band. Back in the 80`s they were the bomb and I am sure they still are. My kids love their music and they are under 10 years old. They have a huge fan base and I am sure they will be as popular now as they were back then. Good on you guys bring it on !
September 12th, 2008 at 3:27 am
It was about time you guys think about us …the fans. We never stopped loving you and your music. I can’t say WELCOME BACK, simply because you were here all the time, in our hearts and minds. I am just ecstatic you decided to say HI again.

September 14th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I was so excited to hear that the guys were really back in the recording studio.I was really stating to wonder if my favorite group of all time was ever going to be heard from as a group again.Please don’t get me wrong I have truly love all of the guys’ solo work but I have been dying to hear new track from the greatest “boy band” of all time.WELCOME BACK & I TOTALLY LOVE THE NEW ALBUM.I bought a copy for myself & 3 more copies as gifts.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:55 am
oh i just love that theyre back:) it would be nice if theyd come to Oslo ,norway ,too:Dyay!
you all the best boyband ever ;:)
September 19th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Hi, being a fan for so many years from the first concerst in a boston night club, to watching danny play b-ball in his driveway at his home. (ya i was a hometown groupie) :). So many wonderful memories of meeting all of you a couple times in person.. My only sad moments were I never met donnie
and he was the only one that never signed my hand made NKOTB jacket. And my other sad moment now is that the guys won’t be coming to Tulsa where I now live in Oklahoma. grrr.. but other then that I am very excited to see them come back, and fire up the world with their talents again. Welcome back donnie, danny, joe, jordan, and jon. 
September 19th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Adding:
By the way, I still have that jacket - It just doesnt fit me anymore. lol!
Maybe someday you guys will come to Tulsa,OK. LOVE & HUGS TO YOU ALL.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
It’s funny that I listened to you guys when I was in High School and loved your music (still do), now my own daughters are huge fans. One is 13 and the other 10. We are constantly playing your music as loud as we can get it!!! Glad to hear you’re back together and I love the new songs!!!!
September 20th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Just came from the Montreal concert!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Thank you guys for having fun doing it, thank you for my dreams coming true!!! Love and kisses to all of you guys, you are the best! Keep having fun and being real!
September 21st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy
So, I was at the Sept 19th show in Toronto, and it was AMAZING!! I have been to many concerts, including 7 Backstreet Boys, and I must tell the truth, NKOTB was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!!
It was a childhood dream for me to see you guys, unfortunately my mom was a meanie back then and said i was too young to go to a concert. For years and years I have hoped for a comeback, and then it happened….OMG it was the best concert EVER!!!!
Hope you guys stick together a while longer, and come back to Toronto!!!
NKOTB, you are the right stuff!!
September 22nd, 2008 at 10:22 am
Hi guys!!
Just wanted to send a quick note, I went to the concert last night in Toronto, I was left stage and was with two friends! We all had our “Property of.. ” shirts on, and loved that both Danny & Donnie noticed our shirts and waved! We had an amazing time! Donnie, I have had such a crush on you since I was 10 years old at the concert in Toronto!
Let me tell you, you guys get better with age! It was an amazing, amazing show, and I am so glad you guys have come back! Way too go!!
Toronto loves you! Can’t wait until you are back again!!
Congrats!
Shannon!
September 22nd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
You guys ROCK!!!!
I was fortunate enough to see you guys back in 1988 when I was 12 with my sisters!! You guys we amazing then and still are. I remember when I was 12 my room was covered in posters of you guys and I had boxes of your cards and to this day my mom has kept them along with the vhs videos… I have been to many concerts and I must say yours was the best.. what a come back!!! I really hope you come back to Toronto so we can see you again this time I will do anything to get front row so we can actually see you better. I am so happy that you guys decided to do this, you were such a hugh part of my childhood and your music was and is amazing…… Keep on hangin it tough you guys, you have amazing fans and we were there 15 years ago and we will still be there 15 years from now…. I hope you 5 amazing talented guys read these posts and not just someone on your team.. Thanks for bringing back my childhood and I hope you will be around for a very long time in my adult life!!!
I can’t wait for your next return to Toronto so you can sell out 4 nights
By the way your new CD ROCKS!!!!!
September 23rd, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Wow, I can’t believe it! I am all grown up and so is my favority boy band. Some are married and proud papas! Some divorced or separated, just like me! I am so glad you guys are back. We missed you! I love the new album, I listen to it every day. My twins are starting to like your music but they are at the pre-teen stage where they think their mother is strange. I do have one thing to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JONATHAN! Always have and always will. Of course my husband doesn’t understand it but he respects it, he didn’t know me then. :-)Jonathan if you are reading this, I always knew that we had something in common, I just didn’t realize it was so “common”………I totally relate to your panic/anxiety attacks. I have them too. I am glad you are doing better and know what causes it because you are doing better than me. I am sad that Tulsa is not on your tour schedule, however, I was blessed to see you twice when I was growing up. Can’t wait to see you when you DO come to our brand new arena, The BOK Center, here in Tulsa. Love and Hugs!

It was a cathartic experience. I went back to a place and time when I was hopeful for the future… I cannot express my gratitude for what this experience gave me. I am hoping for a DVD of this tour to be made as we really need a record of the experience.

Guys Thanks so much for coming back. I have truly missed you all. It is great to have good music back out in circulation. I do think, however, that I am driving my husband crazy talking about you all the time. He is a good sport about it though. I hope I get the privilage to meet you some day!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

I was at your show last night in Connecticut, and I couldn’t be happier to see you guys back! It was kind of a “full circle” event for me- your show was the first concert I had ever been to 18 years ago, and there I was, reliving all of those great songs and memories all over again! You are all even more handsome and better than ever!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this for your fans! We love you!!!

But hey, how come you have never came to the great state of OKLAHOMA? We want you to come here. You told an Atlanta radio station that if the fans wanted you, you would come. WE WANT YOU HERE IN OKLAHOMA! So glad you’re back you deserve all the great things that come your way.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:27 am
You guys are UNBELIEVABLE!!! I saw you in DC on Thursday and what a FABULOUS SHOW it was!!! I saw you 18 years ago in Lake Placid, NY when I was 12 and it was my first concert. I have to tell you that I had a great time then, but had an AWESOME time on Thursday in DC!! I have always been a fan and I always will. Thanks so much for getting back together and reminding me that youth never dies!!! I wish you continued success on your tour and your journey!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! Thanks a million!! Love you bunches!!!

October 8th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
I absolutely can’t wait for the concert tonight on Los Angeles! You guys were my first ever concert experience when I was 8! I was supposed to go to the “Step By Step” tour with my two older cousins, but sadly the oldest one passed away tragically not long before the concert. Now that you’re back, I wish I could take my other cousin, but she’s been addicted to drugs since 1994 and is currently in the hospital for (yet another) attempt at rehab. Oh well, that’s what friends are for!
The wait has definitely been worth it! See you guys tonight!! YAY!!!!
October 8th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
G’Day from Brisbane Australia. I’ve got to say I went to your concert in 1992, I was 15 and you toured right around my birthday and my parents bought me a ticket to your concert for my Birthday. To date…it would have to be one of the best presents I had ever received! We were 6 rows from the front and honestly you blew me away! Fast forward 16 years and I was giddy like a school girl when I found out you had gotten back together…so much so that I called my sister who lives in Indonesia and she was just as excited.
But I do have to say…I am very upset that you aren’t touring down under. Your new album is fantastic and I love all the songs on it.
Please, please, please don’t forget us from the land of Oz!

It’s so great to see you guys back! My best friend and I were @ the chicago show right next to stage b! What an amazing show. I can’t think of anything you could do to make it any better. I hope you’ll never get tired of hearing thank you, but I have never had more fun in my whole life. It’s great to see you all, especially Jon, smiling again! I hope we can keep you all smiling through the whole tour and that you’ll never regret it. I know I won’t! See you again on the 24th..lol.
October 11th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
I was super bummed that there was no concert date for Pittsburgh! So my best friend & I went to Cleveland to see yinz! I have to thank you all for making this come back! That Friday, I laughed, cried & screamed my heart out! It was the best time I’ve had in a very long time! It was awesome to forget all of my reality and just enjoy the show! Now if I could only make it to that show in Philly!
Thank you again!
Much love from the ‘Burgh
October 12th, 2008 at 2:17 am
I am so glad you are finally back together. I had faith that one day it would happen. I was blessed to be able to get tickets to your concert in Sacramento. The 15 year old came out!! I cried, I jumped, I screamed!!! Getting to know anything and everything I could was my escape when I was younger. At the time I was a run away and to keep sane learning about you all was what I did. It meant the world to me to be able to see you in concert the other day. Love you all and I wish you the best in your future endeavors. PLEASE come back to Sacramento!!
October 13th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
thank you so much for coming back… i cant say it enough… you guys have made so many girls dreams come true by coming back. we all thank you… we all love you… you guys rock!!!

Wow! I can’t believe you are coming to town again! I am so excited to see you all in concert. My first New Kids concert was at COW Palace in San Francisco. Since then I have moved to Tacoma, Washington. My sisters and I can’t wait to see you all together again! We love your music and will always be big fans! I hope to hear more of you in the future not just this new album release. Keep the music going! P.S. If you get a chance, you should stop by Tacoma and see some of the sites like the Museum of Glass, the Art Museum, and the Museum of History. I think you and your families would enjoy it! I would be happy to be your tour guide!
Take care!

I should’ve write this earlier :(, oh, well. Even though I’m a high school Senior and I just turned 18 last November. Going back to the 5th grade, I watched my sister Terese’s “Step By Step” video and I told her that “Oh my god, their so hot!” Terese and my 2 older cousins; Evie and Eileen, told me who was who on the cover, I remember they said “That’s Donnie, the rapper. That’s Danny, the break dancer. That’s Joey, the youngest one. That’s Jonathan, the oldest one. And, that’s Jordan, the handsome one.”
I looked at the cover and I was comparing them with *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys until I said “New Kids On The Block is hotter then them.” I listened to their songs and I loved every bit of it. They told me the whole story of the boys from Boston. I had a feeling they will come back to do a reunion tour like I did with my favorite pop group, Spice Girls.
My prediction was right from athletes going to the team I want them to be in to 2007 the Spice Girls are back and lastly 2008 New Kids On The Block are back. I have to say the both of the Spice Girls and New Kids On The Block reunion concerts was the best I’ve ever seen in my life.
“The Right Stuff” and “Girl Power” forever!

Today I came back from my stay in Manchester. The only reason I ever got there was the consert at the Men Arena this Frieday. The consert was the best I have ever seen. It was a longlasting fantastic moment of pure joy! To think the idea, that I at the age of 27 would have the pure pleasure of seing the popidols of my youth performing, is pretty crazy. Thank you NKOTB for comming back and for spreading so much joy around you! Love u!

I went the London O2 arena on Saturday night and felt 15 again (now 32)!! I always felt like I was the best and most dedicated fan when I was a girl and you guys reminded me why I loved you so much. Thanks for coming back!! Please make sure you come back to London, England. Don’t forget us. xxxxx
January 28th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Hey Guys,
I came to see you at Sheffield Arena last night & the show was awesome!!! Oh & you are all still hot hot hot!! Actually NO! Truth be told you have all aged really well & are much hotter than the young teenagers you were back in the late 80’s early 90’s lol.
I hit the big 40 this year!!! OMG where have the years gone?? Seeing you guys back together has made this the best year ever. Loved the mix of new & old songs too. Keep up the good work guys

I always wondered if the five of you would ever return. You all were such a huge part of our lives….our bedrooms filled with NKOTB sheets, pillows, curtains, etc. I was 12 in Syracuse when I saw you at the Dome Nov. 24, 1990. What a great show! It will be fun to see you again at the Oncenter next month in Syracuse 19 yrs later! We are all so old now! Glad to see your passion and friendship is still alive!

“Of the group’s demise back in the mid-Nineties, McIntyre explains, “We were just fried. What happened to us in the span of a couple years was mind-blowing, and no one really knew what it was. We were learning as it went. A lot of groups today know the mold and plan accordingly. We didn’t start out with the idea that in two years we’d be playing stadiums. So by the end of our touring obligations in like 1992, we just want to go home. We had moved on and then music had totally moved on. Grunge happened. Rock and roll came back. We never slammed the door shut – we just sort of walked away. And at that point, we weren’t exactly going to hold a press conference because no one really cared.”
I just wanted to comment that “we” did still care, we just understood. You guys had given us years and great memories and we understood that it was your time. Thanks, we love you, and we will love you FOREVER!

You did it! It was a total redemption for me! I was so blown away by your conert (Greenville, SC)! It was so much better than I could have ever dreamed. I lived my childhood dream! Was I was younger I could have never been able to afford a concert ticket. It was such a far off dream and I got to live it and all the feelings emotions and Love I have for you guys came flooding back too me. To hear all those songs filled me with emotion. The new songs were awesome too! I have never screamed so much in my life! I felt so young! I so missed you guys! You guys are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fan Forever

OMG I don’t even know what to say, Wow the show was amazing though! I have seen you guys 15 times total now and 2 of them being the latest tour. The show was even more amazing now that I am 28 instead of 8… I have loved you guys since 4th grade and always wanted to see you again. I met you all quite a few times when I was younger but was to shy to even talk to Jordan lol. Now I saw you back stage and all I wanted to do was jump you lol. Well things have changed so much in 20 years but my god you guys are still the same awesome people and performers you were back in the day! I love you all and the show..
All I can say is thank you so much for doing this… You are the shit! <3

So I wrote a 79 page story in 7th grade and forgot all about it ’til I dug it out of my 100lb “NKOTB box” that although sealed since Jr. High, has traveled with me to every place I’ve ever called home. In the eloquent piece of literary genius, my 4 best friends and I met you and we were all matched up appropriately and fell in love in the time span of after the show until sun up! LOL! It’s SO embarrassing, but had me and my girls laughing our asses off in prep for the show Monday! Thanks for signing it for me Donnie! Quite appropriate since you were always “my man.” Now, I have no choice but to lock it up before anyone can get their hands on it. We’re talkin’ serious blackmail material. Thanks guys! Good times!

I am sharing the tunes from the past with my students!! They think the music rocks… It helps my enthusiasm level is so high and I have such passion for their music..Back in the day, NKOTB tunes got me through the nights when my parents would fight…brawl, crash around… I’d just burrough down deep in my covers, or slip out the window to my favorite tree and let their music take me away….I could recite every word from their HBO specials… I once had the chance to go with my friend when I was 14. My dad wouldn’t let me….GRRRRR!!!!! Now here I am nearly 33 years old, and I am FINALLY going to a concert… The emotion going through me is overwhelming… I don’t quite understand it. The Block is human just like me, but the impact they had on my life is unspeakable. I’m so excited to share their music with my children, and my students…I have to be careful with the new disc..(it’s in my car, i pod, compter at home and work, my six year old is running around the house singing “sexify my love”…..MMMM Bang all over the house…not cool at school!!! It’s funny at home though!!! Love those boys from Beantown, I guess the biggest thing that impresses me is, after all these years, they are so awesome to their fans, and give me the same giddy feeling I had when I was 13-18….What agreat feeling..I am seriously thinking of taking my last personal day from school and driving to NYC for the today show performance in May… Thanks Boys from Beantown… I cannot wait til June 14th…..That moment for me will be so emotional…..i could just stare…at you.. forever…

WOW! ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU…I FEEL YOUNG AGAIN! I WAS 10 WHEN YOU FIRST SHARED YOUR TALENTS WITH THE WORLD AND TO HEAR IT ALL AGAIN ALONG WITH THE INCREDIBLE NEW SONGS…IT REMINDS ME TO NOT LET GO OF HAVING FUN AND BEING YOUNG…THERE TRULEY ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS FEELING…
