There’s a new blog on Joey’s official website. It’s about the “Run With The Stars” event on April 7, 2012. Here’s an excerpt:
My mom may not know who I am…
But she does a pretty good job of making me feel like she does. I believe she knows there is a connection. She keeps it very simple when she talks to me. Partly I think because she knows that she can’t quite remember but is still witty enough to know that she doesn’t want to make it any more confusing than it already is for her. I think she is past the most scary part- realizing she is “losing her mind”. She knew something was happening. And at first I thought it was just my mom being dramatic. But looking back a few years, her behavior was strange. And soon it was clear that she was slipping away. That mostly showed up in her feeling scared and not wanting to be alone. I remember in the fall of 2008, she said something very profound and sadly poetic. She said, “me and the night don’t get along.” I thought that was quite a lyric. My mother was as witty as they come. She wrote tons of poems and parodies of songs. […]
Hollywood and Broadway stars came together Wednesday night to celebrate the 20th Anniversary Alzheimer’s Association “A Night at Sardi’s”. PopStop TV New’s J-Ro caught up with New Kids on the Block’s Joey McIntyre on the red carpet!
Because he loves to perform, Joey was thrilled to have an opportunity to sing at the event, but he was has a personal connection to the disease and was there to support the cause.
“My mother has Alzheimer’s…but it’s great to come out and have a good time and raise awareness.”
On a lighter note, J-Ro asked who his favorite celebrity train wreck is at the moment. Although he’s dodged the scandalous section of the news himself, he nails his answer!

My mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. She loved to walk everywhere. Never had a driver’s license- so I’ll run for her instead. Thank you for your support to Alzheimer’s Association
Gereifte Boybands: New Kids on the Block und Backstreet Boys gehen gemeinsam auf Tour.
Erst stürmten die neuen Kids den Block, knapp zehn Jahre später übernahmen die Jungs vom Hinterhof das Kommando. Nun sind die Boybands zu NKOTBSB fusioniert. Im Interview erzählen Howie Dorough (38, Backstreet Boys) und Joey McIntyre (39, New Kids on the Block) von Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschieden und Tourneen im fortgeschrittenen Alter.
Vor 20 Jahren kamen eure jungen Fans mit ihren Müttern zu den Konzerten. Sind die als Großmütter heute noch dabei?
Joey: Ja, ziemlich oft sogar. Viele haben von damals noch eine Verbindung zu uns, auch wenn sie nur ihre Kinder fahren mussten. Manchmal frage ich noch im Publikum nach, ob die Töchter bei diesem Besuch wenigstens das Ticket bezahlt haben (lacht).
Boybands may be big news at the moment but One Direction and The Wanted have a long way to go before they reach the heights achieved by Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block way back in the 1990’s.
Having reformed for the hugely popular NKOTBSB world tour, we decided to chat with Joey Macintyre (NKOTB) and Howie Dorough (Backstreet Boys) ahead of their recent London shows.
Als je denkt aan dé boybands uit de jaren negentig, dan denk je direct aan de Backstreet Boys en New Kids On The Block. Howie D (BSB) en Joey McIntyre (NKOTB) openden maandag om 09.00 uur de Q-top 500 van de 90s.
De boybands gaan samen touren en op 1 mei staan ze in Ahoy! Rotterdam. Deze hele week maak je kans op Q-live tickets voor het optreden van NKOTBSB! Check hier alle details.
Q-music dj Wietze de Jager sprak met Howie D en Joey en vroeg deze nineties heroes het hemd van hun lijf:
With boybands fully re-instated in the pop charts, it’s never been a better time to take a trip down memory lane and remind yourself where it all began.
Following their highly successful North American tour last year, pop group pioneers New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys will offer UK fans the chance to catch their classic back catalogue of nostalgic ’80s and ’90s pop anthems.
Digital Spy caught up with NKOTB’s Joey McIntyre and BSB’s Howie Dorough to chat about the new generation of boybands, plans for future albums and whether they’d be up for a guest spot in Glee.
Congratulations on the success of the North American tour last year – how have you found the merge?
Joey: “It’s been great, we’ve hit it off pretty much from the get go and we get along great and that makes it all worthwhile. But then on the professional side we just wanted to make a great show and the two groups feed off of each other. It comes from a pure entertainment perspective. It’s fun to rock and to listen to music, but it’s much more interactive.”
