Joey McIntyre Says NKOTB and New Edition Performance is 30 Years in the Making

New Kids on the Block is teaming up with New Edition for a very special performance on the 2021 American Music Awards on ABC tonight.

He confessed on Instagram that earlier this week he “sobbed” to bandmate, Donnie Wahlberg on the phone about getting to perform with one of their biggest influences.

“They are so intrisically connected to my childhood and my life,” McIntyre said. “I do what I do because of the leadership of Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike,” he continued.

Watch McIntyre express his gratitude below.
