R&B group New Edition will bring their New Jack Swing tunes to Las Vegas early next year.
DeVoe said the band heard fans countless requests — particularly through social media — for them to perform in Sin City. “We're looking to touch that stage and continue on with the legacy,” he said. New Edition was founded as childhood friends in a Boston housing projects and became one of the originators of the modern-day boy band. The group released their debut album “Candy Girl” in 1983 and rejuvenated the teen music scene in the mold of The Jackson Five with hit singles like “Candy Girl,” “Mr. Telephone Man” and “Cool It Now.”
Brown found success as a solo artist with the 1988 hit “Don’t Be Cruel.” Gill and Tresvant had their own solo careers, while Bell, Bivins and DeVoe created their own group, Bell Biv Devoe, and soared with their 1990 debut album, “Poison,” which went quadruple platinum. Bivins said the same authentic brotherhood shown during New Edition’s recent tours will be on display in Las Vegas.
