98 Degrees reunites as 'man band' on 'Today' show
Twelve years after they
released their fourth studio album, 98 Degrees is getting back together,
and are gearing up to take the stage once again this summer.
It seemed a lot hotter than
98 Degrees in New York on Friday morning as the onetime boy band raised
the temperature with a "Today" show performance that had 'em screaming
like they did back in the day.Nick Lachey, Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre worked those moves at the mike for the first time in a decade in front of a few hundred fans, with many of the women in attendance mouthing the words along with the band.
"I called you a boy band," said "Today" cohost Savannah Guthrie. "I guess after 10 years, you've graduated to man band?"
"I think we have graduated," said Nick.
"Finally!" said Drew.
"Thank God!" blurted Jeff.
Drew went into a little more detail about what it was like working through the dance routines with a 10-years-older body, running down a litany of all the places he'd had pains during rehearsals.
"It used to be steak and lobster, but now it's Metamucil and prune juice."
We do think the 36-year-old may have been exaggerating a bit. But he might be wise to get used to it.
"We view this opportunity as a chance to kind of test it out and see if it was still fun, and I think we're all very happy to say we're having a great time." Nick said between songs. "I think you can expect more from us down the line."
Maybe he just likes the fancy-schmancy routine? "the glamourous life of a singer, up at 4:30am trying to warm up my voice for #98degrees appearance on @todayshow," the dad-to-be tweeted early Friday. "psyched to perform today!!"
The band next performs in concert Saturday at the MixTape Fest in Pennsylvania.
