New Kids on the Block Plan Reunion on 'Today'

All is right with the world

Share

(Newser) – In a performance to mark the 20th anniversary of their hit album Hangin' Tough, the New Kids on the Block will reunite Friday to perform on the "Today Show," a source tells People magazine. The boy band sold more than 50 million records before returning to civilian life in 1994.

Where are they now? Donnie Wahlberg and Joey McIntyre found moderate success as actors, Danny Wood has worked as a music producer, and Jordan Knight is still recording, reports People. And that dreamy Jonathan Knight? He's a real estate developer.
