“#LetsGo,” McIntyre captioned the shot of the duo pointing at the camera.
New Edition then took the stage to sing “Candy Girl,” with each band member wearing a long coat and hat in a different color as they, too, performed a choreographed routine.
The two groups then took turns on the stage, with NKOTB singing hits including “Step By Step,” “Hangin' Tough” and “Please Don’t Go Girl,” and New Edition performing “Mr. Telephone Man,” “Is This the End” and “Can You Stand the Rain.”
NKOTB is comprised of McIntyre, Jonathan Knight, 52, Jordan Knight, 50, Donnie Wahlberg, 52, and Danny Wood, 52. Shortly after their performance at the AMAs was announced, Wahlberg wrote on Twitter that NKOTB sharing the stage with New Edition was “beyond a childhood dream come true.”
