It's been speculated for months, but it has officially been confirmed that all five members of New Kids On The Block will be reuniting for a performance on the Today Show. The exclusive appearance will happen on April 4th. Their reunion marks the 20th anniversary of their multi-platinum album Hangin' Tough. Rumors are surfacing that the reunion may also include a tour, and possibly a greatest hits album.
Since their breakup in 1994, all of the members have been met with varying degrees of success. Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre reinvigorated their pop careers in the late 90s. Donnie Wahlberg became an actor, appearing in The Sixth Sense and the TV show Boomtown. Danny Wood also launched a solo career. Suffering from severe anxiety attacks, Jordan's brother Jonathan left show business altogether and became a recluse to recover. He last appeared on Oprah to discuss his panic attacks.
NKOTB became a global sensation following the release of their sophomore album Hangin' Tough. The album sold 8 million copies and spawned 5 Top 10 singles, including 2 #1 singles. By their breakup, they sold over 50 million copies worldwide and performed across the world in sold-out concert tours.
