Jonathan Knight Quits During New Kids On The Block Show

Jonathan Knight, New Kids on the Block singer, left the stage mid-show during the band's concert in New York on Thursday.

New Kids on the Block had been performing hits off their records from the 80s and 90s, as well as some new singles during the concert. At one point, Knight began to look dazed, according to reports. He “seemed out of it,” reported HollywoodLife.com. “While the men started their choreographed dances, Jonathan stood uncomfortably in the background – actually just standing and texting on his phone during the performance.”

When Knight’s brother, Jordan Knight, announced that he’d sing “Survive You” from 10, Knight couldn’t do it. He attempted to begin the song, and although he had the support of his bandmates arms around him, he ended up walking off the stage, according to Billboard.

Knight, who was urged back to the stage from the fans, never came back out. The singer is known to have struggled with stage fright, leading many to speculate that anxiety was to blame for his strange behavior. Knight seemed to confirm those speculations on Twitter on Thursday, writing, “I feel naked.”

New Kids on the Block reunited back in 2008, after going on hiatus following their early fame. They have plans in the works to go on a summer tour with other older boy bands, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men.
