*Michael Bivins has delivered some bad news for fans of New Edition and the status of their reunion tour.
Recently, there was speculation that there was tension with the group. And now, Bivins has confirmed it but says he has plans to work on their issues.
You recall how Bivins announced in March 2017 that New Edition was going on tour with the cast of BET’s “The New Edition Story”? Fans were thrilled about the idea, but sadly, it’s not going to happen.
In an Instagram post on May 2, Bivins explained some of the reasons why the New Edition reunion tour isn’t going down as planned.
“I know yall need answers on why ish is not going down,” he said in the caption. “I’m on record this morning on behalf of Orchard Park Projects, Boston, Maurice Starr, Candy Girl and all that have participated and worked for this organization.I will do my part and talk and open up communication to get this ish back on track Ralph, Ricky, Ronnie, Bobby, Johnny & Brooke. With love and honor and respect at the table, God can do his work Good am & God Bless Michael L.Bivins #Bivfam and my big brothers.”

Allegedly, the reason why the group isn’t touring together has to do with an ongoing feud over the New Edition trademark, The Boombox reported. Members Johnny and Ralph own it and are allegedly refusing to add the other group members.
Despite New Edition not touring, Bell Biv DeVoe (Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe) are still performing. The trio will hit the road this summer on a few dates.
