Happy Face 29 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 In the wake of the Spice Girls and Take That, US urban pop act New Kids on the Block have confirmed long-rumoured plans to make a comeback this year. The hugely-popular 90's boyband will reunite for the first time in 14 years for a big tour later this year after spilling the beats on US talk show The Today Show over the weekend. After being mobbed by hordes of screaming fans at the network's TV studios in the Rockefeller Plaza in New York, singer Donnie Wahlberg explained their announcement wasn't supposed to come until may. "We weren't going to announce it yet but People (Magazine) leaked it so we thought we should make the announcement official," he said, with the band confirming their first live appearance on May 16th on the Today Show. Details of their forthcoming tour dates have yet to be released aside from two shows - at Z100/NY’s Zootopia, May 17, 2008 at The Izod Center in New Jersey and a day later at BOston's Tweeter Centre. At their height, NKOTB were global pop stars, selling around 70m albums in a ten year career before splitting in 1994. A new album is also being recorded and will hit record shops in August. Shite!

Happy Face 29 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Donnie Wahlberg was canny in Band of Brothers. I hated them, but I'm gutted I can't remember any tracks other than whoah, oah, oah, oah, uh! Old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I thought the kids from these kind of bands end up working in chip shops or summat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2824 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wonder if they're going to update their name to something like MAMOTB Good job Mark Wahlberg's acting career is still going strong, else Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch might end up making an unexpected return too - feel it feel it!

Happy Face 29 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Wonder if they're going to update their name to something like MAMOTB Approaching middle age is why they changed to NKOTB in the first place wasn't it? Rolls off the tongue like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
