04/06/2010 - The Great One

We have just announced that we are playing the Fillmore in Miami on the Thursday before the cruise. First of all we haven't played Miami in a long long time- yes the Miami area-ish, but not Miami. So that is
special. Second, The Fillmore is in South Beach... ah, my youth on South
Beach- good times...nice to relive it in a safe way :) Third, The
Fillmore is a very cool brand (as they say in the industry) so you know
the vibe is gonna be right. Fourth, the Fillmore used to be called the
Jackie Gleason Theatre. You know what they used to call him? "The Great
One". I spent a lot of time in Miami when I would go down with my dad to
business conventions and then it was the natch spot to get away from
the Boston winters. As a young man, I pulled a few "almost" all-nighters
down there. And during the day, I would often pass the Jackie Gleason
Theatre and think, "Some day." I mean he was/is the Great One and I just
always loved the locale of that theatre, so once again the New Kids
check another one off the list of Joey McIntyre's Show Biz Wish List.
Thanks, guys... 5 brothers and a million sisters- it gets you in.

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
