A LOT has changed since New Kids On The Block last toured Australia. They’re no longer kids, for a start. “You could say we are a man-band but boys at heart,” NKOTB’s lead singer Jordan Knight tells Insider, on the phone from his Boston home, to exclusively announce the group’s first tour to Australia since 1992.
