New Kids On The Block Stage Comeback

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

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

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

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

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

I was never really a big fan of theirs and when they hit it big, I was like 5 years old or something lol so I missed out on all the New Kids On The Block mania. I do love "The Right Stuff" though.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff

Uh... Jordan Knight has gotten quite fat and is still a smoker, coupled with the fact that he is an asthmatic, dude just looks really run down. Homeboy's gotta lot of work to do if he wants to look good on camera again...

He was a cutie though. biggrin

Does somebody remember the NKTOB parody on the MAD magazine from the early 90s? This is exactly like it.

eek

Kevin, the oldest Backstreet Boy -and only recently departed from the group -is 36. Think about that. Either NKOTB started off bloody young, or it's just another pointer that BSB have been around a surprisingly long time for a boyband.



As an aside, guess what I totally watched with my sis the other day? NKOTB: Sheik of my Dreams. biggrin
