After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.
The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.
The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.
The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.
Eighteen years later, they're still 'Hangin' Tough.' The oldest 'Kid,' Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 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 record.

First the Giants make the Super Bowl, now this!!!!! My day is complete!
I was cleaning out my stuff as well so that FH can move all his stuff in- I couldn't bear to part with my NKOTB watch, picutres, and trading cards (I got the whole set btw ) I also have real picutres that I took of them as well when I met them in person after a concert.

I text my cousin yesterday and she is so excited. Her boyfriend (soon to be fiance) works for the music industry and is going to contact their management tomorrow. I am so excited.
