Last week I was lucky enough to grab a chat with Joey McIntyre of NKOTB fame – thanking him for his time he told me he was quite happy to be kept out of rehearsals to have a convo with us…

For those of you who live in a cave, Joey is a member of the massively successful ’90s boy band New Kids On The Block who had a string of number ones including Hangin’ Tough and You Got It.

The group disbanded in 1994, secretly regrouping in 2007 to tour and release a new album in 2008 – much to the joy of their hugely supportive fans.

“We’ve had time off in between 2008 and now but we’re still gong strong and are always looks for ways to challenge ourselves. That’s how the collaboration with Backstreet Boys came about and from day one we’ve had so much fun.”

That’s right girls. Both bands are touring together. What more could you want? The tour comes to Manchester on 24th April, Press here for a chance to win tickets, “Manchester have THE best crowds, I remember them fondly. They’re rowdier and more ready to have fun that a lot of other cities.”

“We’re all enjoying the tour and can’t wait to come perform here. We’re fortunate to be doing what we’re doing, especially to have a break and come back.”
