Update: A brand new season of Very Scary People hosted by Donnie Wahlberg premieres Sunday night at 9 ET/PT on HLN. It takes a look at the Canadian True Crime case of a couple who became known as "The Ken and Barbie Killers." Click here for a preview! 

The New Kids were very happy that the Boston Celtics advanced to the next round of the NBA playoffs!  Donnie shared this short clip of them celebrating!

You'll notice Joey was not in the video because he was a little superstitious and didn't watch the game! 

Joey talked about his plan not to watch, betting on the game in Las Vegas, and his thoughts about Celtics player Jayson Tatum wearing a Laker's purple armband (in honor of Kobe Bryant). 


New Kids on the Block will be on Entertainment Tonight today! ET Canada shared an article reviewing the show in Anaheim and highlighting when a fan got a surprise proposal from her boyfriend at the show.

HLN also did a news segment about the show!

Some years ago, Donnie helped find a match for a fan in need of a kidney donation. Another fan that needs one attended a show recently and Donnie read her sign. Her sister is also in need of a kidney. To read more about her story, click here. If you want to see if you can help, click here!

NKOTB News for May 28

Joey went live on Instagram earlier today! He reminisced about spending time in Anaheim in 1989 when New Kids on the Block were starting to get famous.  He remembered going to get cheeseburgers at the McDonalds across the street, so he decided to get lunch there again today.  

Joey was wondering where his slippers went. Turns out Donnie took them! (From Joey's Instagram stories at the Los Angeles show)


Joey's son Griffin made an appearance during the Illtown Sluggaz set at the San Diego and Los Angeles shows. Here is a video from mrsjoemac

Rattailnkotb also shared a video of Griffin here!

Since they are in California, they played “California Love”. Here’s a clip from ellenooch of them having fun dancing last night:

In Joey's latest Instagram video, he talked with a staff member from American Airlines Center in Dallas and showed us some graphics they put on the floor featuring photos of the New Kids on the Block's past performances at AAC. 

American Airlines Center also made a donation to Remember Betty!

The venue in Houston (Toyota Center) also gave the guys a gift: customized bowling balls!


Donnie made an appearance at Wahlburgers in Frisco, TX on Monday. 


Speaking of Wahlburgers, check out the new patio at the St. Charles location: 

Yesterday was travel day and Jonathan shared this video clip from the road:

Here are a couple other recent posts from his Instagram: 

6am fuel stop! Thank you to all our drivers that get us from city to city, and keep us safe. Now let’s talk about these bumpy roads that keep me awake all night. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It takes so many people to keep this tour going! Meet Jayde and Ivy who run our wardrobe department!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Vic shared a video on his Instagram of him and Jordan practicing their golf swings at a driving range:

I haven't seen as many "quick change" videos, but here's a funny one where Jordan and Danny are caught off guard because they didn't realize it was time for the quick change broadcast:

There is a documentary in the works about fans of boy bands such as NKOTB. It's called "superfans: screaming. crying. throwing up." No word yet when it'll be released. Check out the article here

Yesterday was an unexpected day off for the guys since their Dallas show was delayed one day due to the Dallas Mavericks playoff game. They spent the day in San Antonio and Joey and Donnie shared some photos and video on their social media!

From Donnie on Instagram: Thanks @tpcsanantonio for a great, much needed, very relaxing and incredibly rare, day off on the links — with my guys @joeymcintyre and @ez_zill! ⛳️🏌🏽‍♂️🙏🏼❤️💫 #thankful

Joey took a walk on the River Walk, and enjoyed some music that Apple Music picked out for him:





After his golf outing and his walk, he relaxed with a bubble bath:


Danny is still doing his workouts on the road. He stopped by Crunch Fitness before their show in Edinburg, TX the other day!


Danny has been sharing some photos from each show. Here are a few of his photos. Visit him on Instagram for more!

Donnie was interviewed by The Musers Mornings show on Dallas radio station KTCK "96.7 The Ticket" yesterday! He talked about the postponement of the Dallas show and how close it came to them having to postpone the show until July had the NHL team Dallas Stars advanced in the playoffs as well! He also talks about the grueling tour schedule but how much gratitude he has for all the fans coming to see them after all these years. They also ask if Donnie still cheers for Tom Brady even though he's no longer with the Patriots. They ask him who his favorite Beatle is and they talk about Paul McCartney's longevity. They also talk about Donnie's role in The Sixth Sense, Blue Bloods, and more!

NKOTB News for May 19

Joey went live from New Orleans on Instagram yesterday!

On Tuesday Donnie wished Jordan a happy birthday on Instagram:

Happy Birthday Jordan Knight! My brother forever. You already know! Let’s go! 🙏🏼❤️💫 🤖❤️♾💫

Even though they were in Oklahoma City on Monday and New Orleans on Wednesday, it appears at least some of them opted to spend their day off in Dallas. Danny mentioned being in Dallas in his workout tweet on Tuesday: 

#dallas #workout done earlier! 90mins of #HIIT cardio, 30mins strength training, 10mins stretching! #NKOTBMixtapeTour


Donnie didn't stay in Dallas long though. His post for Jordan's birthday had "DFW Airport" as the location. But, shortly afterward he went on Twitter and posted a photo of him on an airplane.  He most likely went home to St. Charles so he could celebrate his stepson Evan's 20th birthday, which was on Wednesday. 

From Donnie on Twitter on Tuesday: "#loveeternal 🤖❤️♾💫"

From Donnie on Instagram: Happy 20th Birthday to my awesome step son @evanjasher! Hope you have the happiest day ever, Evan. 🎂🎉🎈

Danny had an opportunity to try out some local cuisine in New Orleans yesterday: 

From Danny on Instagram: Thx to everyone at @get_stuphd for an amazing meal! The beignets are like a piece of heaven in your mouth! #cheatday #sweetandsavory #nola #nkotbmixtape2022 #thewoodworks

If you were lucky enough to meet Donnie after the shows in either New Orleans or Oklahoma City, Donnie posted the selfies he took on his Instagram page!

Andi went live on Danny's Facebook page last night for the first song of the show last night. Click here to watch!  They also went live in St Louis the other day: Video 1, video 2, video 3.

Somehow Danny didn't have anyone to stand by in a recent meet and greet photo, so he shared the photo and joked that Vic wouldn't let him have a pee break. 🤣


Jonathan is already up early in Houston! He shared this on his Instagram this morning:


Hello Iowa interviewed Chad Taylor, the program director of "98.3 The Vibe".  Chad worked with both Jordan and Danny before the NKOTB reunion. Chad shares his fond memories of Danny, Donnie, and Jordan in this interview:
