Here’s the news all girls in their mid-twenties have been waiting for. New Kids on the Block are visiting Australia.
Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight and Danny Wood paved the way for the likes of Take That, Backstreet Boys, and ‘N Sync. It might seem strange for a boy band to get back together now they’re middle-aged men, but Joey says their friendship is as strong as ever.
“I think the thing with us is that we always hung onto the fact that we were buddies first. 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,’ said Joey.
Who better to support a middle-aged boy band than an ex boy band star? Former Westlife member Brian McFadden will also be along for the ride.
