McIntyre Tweets He’s OK After Boston Marathon

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre tweets that he’s OK Monday after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon minutes after he completed the 26.2-mile run.

The 40-year-old wrote that “there was an explosion by the finish line about 5 minutes after I finished – I’m ok but I’m sure there are many hurt.”

A few hours later he added, “I don’t know what to say. I feel for everybody involved with the Boston Marathon. My family is ok. I am ok. Gonna take a while to process.”

The NKOTB singer ran the Boston Marathon to raise funds for the Alzheimers Association in honor of his mother.

Two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing two people and injuring at least 102 others. A senior U.S. intelligence official said two other explosive devices were found near the finish line.

New Kids on the Block is based out of Boston. McIntyre’s bandmate Donnie Wahlberg tweeted “please reach out if you hear that (McIntyre) is ok!!!!!” before he heard that his friend was safe.
