Jonathan Knight (born Jonathan Rashleigh Knight, November 29, 1968, Worcester, Massachusetts) was one of five members, along with his brother Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joe McIntyre, and Danny Wood, of the musical group New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), popular in the mid 1980s to early 1990s.
Knight had a relationship with the songstress Tiffany while his group toured with her.
As Knight continued his success along with NKOTB, he also suffered a panic disorder throughout their time as a group. In the documentary promoting their next album, Step by Step, one scene from the music video Tonight shows Jonathan crouched over the stage stairs, having a panic attack.
In 1993 as they toured around the world promoting Face the Music, Knight quit NKOTB after having an emotional breakdown. In 2001 he appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show with his brother, Jordan, and revealed that he suffers from panic attacks and had done so for many years. He almost had a panic attack on stage during the taping and had to be comforted by Winfrey.
Since then, Knight has retired to his secluded farm in Massachusetts. Today, Jonathan Knight works as a real estate developer. His own property in Massachusetts was for sale for a reported asking price of $3,200,000 (USD).
