New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys Summer Tour Announces Performance at Fenway Park

Boston teeny boppers across two decades will unite as the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys have announced a very special stop on their upcoming tour across the United States.
Joining the ranks with musical acts such as Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Paul McCartney and Aerosmith, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys have planned a performance at the legendary Fenway Park, NKOTBSB.com reports.
The tour date is scheduled for June 11, and is one of the first stops on the summer tour as it kicks off in Connecticut on June 2.
The members of New Kids are especially excited about performing under the Green Monster since they are all native to the Boston area.
"This is a tremendous honor for us. As a group of Boston kids we never thought we would get an opportunity like this. Our dreams are coming true," New Kids' Donnie Wahlberg said. "And one of the best parts is that we get to share this moment with our friends the Backstreet Boys."
The Fenway tour date is the second Boston show for the boy bands, as they are also playing TD Garden on June 5.
Tickets for the Fenway Park tour date go on sale on Feb. 5, with fan club presale starting on Jan. 27.

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

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...
