The site currently shows a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up to their newsletter. The band enjoyed enormous success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The group went on to sell over 70 million albums worldwide, generated hundreds of millions of dollars in concert revenues, and paved the way for acts like Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. The oldest member, Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will will celebrate his 40th birthday later this year. Since the band’s demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight’s brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to make music.
