Jonathan Knight Walks Off Stage At New Kids On The Block Concert
The New Kids On The Block are back. Well, most of them are. Jonathan Knight walked off the stage in the middle of a performance last night at New York City’s iHeartRadio Theater.
The remaining members of the 90s band, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood, continued to perform without their fellow band mate.
The New Kids On The Block haven’t offered a reason for Knight’s sudden departure but there doesn’t appear to be any bad blood between the members of the boy band.
Joe McIntyre said: “We love Jonathan and he loves us.”
The NY Daily News reports that Jonathan Knight has struggled with panic attacks and anxiety issues in the past and may have had a small panic attack last night.
Knight apologized to his fans on Twitter, writing: “I’m sorry…”
The New Kids On The Block are in the middle of a revival. They recently released a new album, booked a couple of cruise shows, and are now going on tour with fellow boy bands 98 Degrees and Boys II Men.
The episode last night had some NKOTB fans worried about the upcoming tour but the band said that there was nothing to worry about.
Not 2 worry BHs, all is well w Jon! It was a crazy album release week & we are all on a plane to Napa & look fwd to a grt show this weekend!
