New Kids on the Block concert cancelled over border delay

A performance featuring reformed boyband New Kids on the Block has been cancelled as the band’s ‘The Package’ tour was held up at the Canadian border.

A statement on the band’s website reads: “The Package tour was unfortunately delayed at the Canadian border earlier today and as a result has impacted the time required for the shows production and crew to prepare for tonight's concert in Ottawa.

“As a result, The Package Tour featuring New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men have rescheduled their Ottawa performance tonight to Wednesday, June 5 at Scotiabank Place. All tickets purchased for the original performance this evening will be honoured tomorrow.”

A rep for the band confirmed to Tmz.com that several gear trucks and key crew members were halted at the border for such a long time that the concert had to be scrapped. The band members however, arrived safely and on time.
