New Edition Reunite, Sort of

Everyone’s getting back together these days!!!

Bobby Brown performed, along with one-half of his New Edition bandmates, at NYC’s Nokia Theatre last night.

The trio included Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant, who selected a handful of dates to rock hits like “Stone Cold Gentleman,” “Fairweather Friend” and “My Pregogative.”

“I am the diabolical Bobby Brown!” the man screamed, to introduce himself. Then, later, “It’s me! The crazy one.”

Like we didn’t know!!

Also in attendance were Funkmaster Flex, who DJed before the set, and singer Tyrese.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all you reuniting lovebands!!
