New Kids on the Block, Paula Abdul, and Boyz II Men are set to head out on their "The Total Package Tour" next year, kicking off May 12th in Columbus, OH.

During this epic Twitter Q&A, we learned quite a few things about each artist, including an update about new New Kids on the Block Music, what Paula thinks of being the only female on the tour, if they will collaborate on tour, and more.

Here are 7 things we learned from New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, and Paula Abdul's iHeartRadio #TwitterTuesday Takeover:

1. NEW NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK MUSIC. IT'S HAPPENING. 😱

"New music could be very soon. Could be tomorrow, could be in a few months. There WILL be new music. There SHALL be new music. Part one [is] coming out soon."

2. There COULD possibly be an epic New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, and Paula Abdul collaboration on "The Total Package Tour." But they want to surprise you.

Joey McIntyre: "If there is no collaboration, it's Wanya's fault. Because I'm tired of it. We've done tours with other people, 'yeah we think might might...' I want it to happen. Why wouldn't I want it to happen? Sing with Boyz II Men [and] Paula Abdul."

3. They're not trying to "step on anyone's toes" with a Las Vegas residency. 😳

4. Apparently, you can see that at Mixtape Fest 2017.

5. Paula's thoughts on being the only female on the tour: "I've been there before."

6. They love ALL THE CITIES.

7. They are basically one big happy family <3 Just look at this family photo:
