New Edition set to reunite at Essence Music Festival










All six members of the group New Edition are set to join forces once again to recreate some of the group's early magic. The group has tried to reunite several times in the past, but didn't find it easy to settle on some of their differences that caused some tension prior to this comeback.

Singer Bobby Brown has assured the group that going forward none of these issues will resurface and that all the negativity is behind them. "We're just working on us and our friendship," he tells People. Along with fellow members Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Ronnie DeVoe, Brown is optimistic about the reunion. "All of us are psyched about it," he says. "We're grown men, and we're able to talk and argue and pray and laugh. There's a lot of laughter [because] we remember some of the crazy times, and it's just funny to us now that we were able to make it past all of those crazy times and be able to come together as grown men and make this business happen", Brown says.

The festival kicks off July 1st. There will also be concerts by Usher, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and more! Are you excited about N. E. again?
