If New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys can pull off reunion tours, why not New Edition?
When the Boston-launched pop-soul ensemble lands at Target Center on July 24, it will be without the mercurial Bobby Brown. Yes, he left the group in '86 but he was part of the '96 reunion tour, along with his replacement, Johnny Gill.
So New Edition will deliver "Cool It Now" and "Hit Me Off" with Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Gill.
Opening will be Babyface, the hit producer for Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston and Brown and the voice of his own hits including "Tender Lover" and "It's No Crime."
Tickets, priced from $42 to $128, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Target Center box office, axs.com and 1-888-9-AXS-TIX.
