"We decided let's celebrate all boy bands through the generations," Donnie Wahlberg told "GMA." "New Edition who inspired us, all the way to the new groups of today, BTS, One D [Direction], you name it."

NKOTB -- consisting of Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, Jonathan Knight and Jordan Knight -- are about to head on The Mixtape Tour, along with more nostalgic artists.

"We're back with Tiffany, so that's the same," Wahlberg said. "She really gave us our big break all those years ago on her tour."
