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.

They will play Sydney’s Allphones Arena on May 26.

“It’s really cool to join forces with those guys,” Knight says. The last time NKOTB toured Australia, this Insider was in high school and they were the biggest boy band on the planet.

He looked at me like: ‘Why are you working out? What is that?’ “He sees me as his dad – and that’s it.” Knight jokes his wife Evelyn and boys Dante and Eric suffer through his pre-tour preparation of boot camps and bum notes. “They see and hear all the mistakes,” he says, laughing. “When I get on stage, I’m polished. But they know who I am, really.” Knight has been a pop star since 1988. Really.
