Originally, the producers of the show tried to coax the former boy band New Kids On The Block to perform at the ceremony and present an award. Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre were all on board to reunite, but the lone exception was Jonathan Knight. The group will later reunite nine years later, embarking on a studio album and a tour.

Famous quotes containing the words aborted and/or performance:
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
