New Kids On The Block Stage Comeback
By Eileen Finan and Julie Jordan

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, http://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.

    this should coincide with the 'Things you hate about the 90's' thread.

    But if you call their hotline, you'll see that part of the proceeds go to charity. ;)

    Tell me about it. My girlfriend LOVES New Kids. If she hears about this, ugh, I don't even want to think about it.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
  • oh come on you guys, when I was 10, 11, I was HUGE New Kids fan! (it's true, I'll admit it). It's part of being a kid...

    I don't think I'll be purchasing tickets for the tour but...you know...

    they still have New Kids on the Block bus tours of Boston. it's hilarious.

    Donnie and Mark Wahlberg actually learning guitar, writing songs, and singing them together...i might be possibly curious to see if it's a trainwreck given their movie careers...ala Kevin Bacon.

    NKTOB Reunion? Christ Almighty please let it die.
    I love to turn you on

    Someone once told me that _part_ of the reason grunge took off so much was due to backlash to crap like New Kids.

    i've actually heard vice versa...i.e. The Spice Girls.

    I never think of new kids as being a 90s thing, I think of it as an 80s thing. It was definitely 88 - 89 when I got into it.

    ...and they're not really NEW neither.

    Maybe they should try, "Grown Men With No Talent On The Block".

    The bitterness here towards a kiddie band from 20 years ago is pretty damn comical.
  • dunkmandunkman Posts: 19,646

    is there a wee guy called Joe in it as well?


    why am i even asking this? i dinnae gie a fuck :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    oh no not STILL, but it's the equivalent of a hannah montana type thing at the time.

    You're thinking of Bobby Brown. He was a member of the black version of NKOTB who called themselves New Edition.
