Oh no! During a private New Kids On The Block concert April 4 in NYC, Jonathan walked off the stage halfway through the performance — and HollywoodLife.com was there to get all the exclusive details!
When New Kids On The Block hit the stage at the iHeartRadio Theater, no one expected the group would go from five to four by the end of the night. The band, which just released its new album 10 this week, will be heading on tour May 28 — but will all five members be hitting the road?
When Donnie Wahlberg appeared on stage with rest of NKOTB, the group started off by singing a new song, while the tons of girls in the crowd went CRAZY. It was quite the sight to see, but something was definitely off.
Jonathon Knight Looked Uncomfortable Before Leaving Stage
I noticed from the front row that Jonathon Knight seemed out of it. While the men started their choreographed dances, Jonathon sulked in the background — actually just standing and texting on his phone during the performance.
The crowd definitely noticed, although no one seemed to mind because the other four guys were extremely entertaining. However, after three songs went by — including the classics “Step by Step,” ”Hangin’ Tough” and ”The Right Stuff” — he forgot the lyrics to his verse.
The boys all gathered together to help him out, trying their best to make him comfortable, but apparently it didn’t work. Jonathan put his head down and walked off stage; and while the crowd thought he would be returning, that didn’t happen.

Donnie took to the crowd to make light of the situation, saying he knew it would make news the next day.
“One of the guys walks off stage the night of the opening,” Donnie said to the crowd. “You think we’re f–king serious right now? He just really had to go to the bathroom!”
Donnie also made a joke, saying that when he couldn’t make some press events this week due to his busy schedule, people weren’t chanting his name!
Jonathan has a past of anxiety and panic attacks, though he had sought help for them years ago and was apparently getting better.
“He’ll almost definitely drop off the tour,” one fan hypothesized after the show. Others gathered outside to wait for the band to leave the venue. While Danny Wood, Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre all came out, waved to fans, and got in their van, Donnie came over to shake hands and even take one photo.
Jonathan was nowhere to be found, leaving us to believe he left the venue after he left the stage.
