Aborted Performance
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.)
“They say all lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
