Donnie Wahlberg Predicts That Final NKOTB Las Vegas Shows Will Be ‘Super Emotional’ For Group, Hints at a Merry, Merry Surprise For Fans
The boy band veteran said he'd love to tour the world one more time after wrapping their residency.
New Kids on the Block, the iconic boy band, is set to conclude their The Right Stuff residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. After more than a year of performances, the final eight shows will take place from October 2 to October 17. Donnie Wahlberg, a member of the band, shared his thoughts on the emotional nature of the last run of shows.
"I think every New Kids experience can be very emotional," Wahlberg told The Hollywood Reporter. "I do think the last run of shows is going to be super emotional. Knowing our fans and what they bring every night into the building, and knowing the guys, It’s not the end of anything, but it’s the closing of a chapter." The band members have been creating a meaningful chapter in their shared experience as New Kids on the Block and Blockheads.
Wahlberg revealed that they have prepared a special surprise for the final push, though he did not disclose the details. He mentioned that they will be performing songs from the group's 1989 Merry, Merry Christmas album, which includes classics like "This One's for the Children," "The Christmas Song," and "White Christmas." Despite their success in Las Vegas, the band members expressed their desire to tour the world one more time.
