LIFE LONG FRIENDS

The lifelong friends grew up together in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. They were both part of two music groups that dominated the late 80s and early 90s R&B scene.

BBD didn’t forget their roots and reunited with the original members of New Edition. They embarked on a Greatest Hits Tour in 2016.

Bivins, DeVoe, and four other members formed New Edition in 1978, and the group dissolved almost a decade later. Along with other New Edition member, Ricky Bell, they formed the spinoff group, Bell Biv DeVoe.
