>>> WELCOME BACK. JONAS BROTHERS, NICK, JOE, KEVIN
ROCKED THE PLAZA THIS MORNING IN
CASE YOU MISSED IT.
A VERY SPECIAL CONCERT TO
CELEBRATE, OF COURSE, THE
RELEASE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM
"HAPPINESS BEGINS."
"HAPPINESS BEGINS." >> THEIR SENSATIONAL RETURN TO
THE POP SCENE UNLIKELY HAD THEY
SPLIT ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO.
IN A NEW DOCUMENTARY THEY ARE
OPENING UP ABOUT THAT TIME.
>> WHAT HURT THE MOST IS THAT IT
CAME FROM NICK BECAUSE HE IS MY
BEST FRIEND AND I THOUGHT THAT
KEVIN AND NICK WERE GOING TO DO
THIS FOREVER AND IT WAS US
AGAINST THE WORLD, YOU KNOW?
AND JOE FINALLY BROKE DOWN.
WEIGHS LIKE, YOU WANT TO BE
DONE?
DONE? FINE.
FINE. WE’RE DONE.
WE’RE DONE. >> WOW.
>> WOW. GOOD MORNING AGAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> HERE IS THE THING I WAS
TELLING YOU GUYS OFF CAMERA.
THE DOCUMENTARY WAS SO GOOD.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE -- YOU HAVE
SO MANY FANS.
WHEN YOU SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY,
WE LOVE YOU EVEN MORE.
IT’S ALMOST AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER
COASTER.
COASTER. IT WAS RELATABLE.
A LOT OF US HAVE SIBLINGS.
IT WAS DYNAMIC, AUTHENTIC.
WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO PUT IT
ALL OUT THERE?
LET’S TELL OUR STORY?
>> WE MET WITH PHIL McINTIRE,
OUR LONG-TIME MANAGER, AND OUR
PARTNER IN THE DOC AND JOHN
TAYLOR, WHO DIRECTED IT AND IS A
LONG-TIME FRIEND OF OURS, AND
HAS WORKED WITH US A LONG TIME,
AND SAID WE WANT TO TELL THE
STORY, IT’S WORTH TELLING.
WE DON’T WANT TO DO THE FLUFF
VERSION.
VERSION. WE WANT TO GET INTO THE
NITTY-GRITTY AND ACTUALLY TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
OUR STORY IS I THINK UNIQUE IN
THAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK IT’S
ABOUT THE BAND, BUT IT’S REALLY
ABOUT FAMILY.
ABOUT FAMILY. AS YOU MENTIONED, ALL SIBLINGS
FIGHT, GO THROUGH TOUGH TIMES.
FAMILIES ARE COMPLICATED.
IF WE CAN SHED LIGHT ON THAT AND
MAKE THAT OKAY TO TALK ABOUT.
>> YOU DID.
>> AND ACTUALLY GET TO, YOU
KNOW, AN OUTCOME IN THE END
THAT’S QUITE POSITIVE.
>> DID YOU FIND THE PROCESS -- I
MEAN, WHEN YOU ARE SITTING FOR
THE INTERVIEWS, DID YOU FIND IT
CATHARTIC?
CATHARTIC? WAS IT LIKE A COUNSELING SESSION
AS WELL?
AS WELL? >> DEFINITELY.
>> DEFINITELY. DEFINITELY FELT LIKE A
COUNSELING SESSION OR THERAPY
SESSION AT TIMES.
YOU ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER TEN
YEARS AGO, SO WHERE WE WERE,
WHAT WE WERE HAVING THESE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT, AND ALSO
SOME OF THAT HURT, YOU KIND OF
PUT UNDER THE RUG.
TO PULL THAT OUT, HERE IT IS,
WORK THROUGH THIS.
FOR US TO SIT IN A ROOM TOGETHER
AND SAY, ARE WE REALLY GOING TO
GO THERE?
GO THERE? >> YOU DID.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> FAST FORWARD FROM THAT MOMENT
WHERE WE’RE LOOKING AT TOUGH
TIMES IN THE DOCUMENTARY TO A
DAY LIKE TODAY WHERE THE LINE IS
WRAPPED AROUND 30 ROCKEFELLER
PLAZA, PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING
OUTSIDE.
OUTSIDE. LIKE YOU SAID, ALL JOY.
WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE?
I WAS READING THIS MORNING YOU
HAVE A NEW ALBUM OUT THIS
MORNING, YOU ARE ON THE FRONT OF
HARPERS BAZ AR, THEIR FIRST EVER
MEN’S DIGITAL COVER.
BLAZING NEW TRAILS NOW.
>> IT’S WILD.
I MEAN, TODAY IS KIND OF THE
ICING ON THE CAKE OF RELEASE
DAY.
DAY. YOU KNOW, THIS IS A REALLY
SPECIAL MOMENT.
SPECIAL MOMENT. NEW YORK IS KIND, ALWAYS HAS
BEEN HOME BASE, NEW YORK, NEW
JERSEY.
JERSEY. TO LAUNCH IT WITH A PERFORMANCE
LIKE THAT WITH THOUSANDS OF FANS
AT ROCK30 ROCK IS A DREAM SCENAR
>> YEARS AGO ONE OF THE
THINGS -- AND I REMEMBER THIS
BEING A HUGE DEAL BACK IN THE
DAY.
DAY. THE PURITY RINGS.
AND YOU GUYS WORE THESE PURITY
RINGS.
RINGS. THEY WERE A SYMBOL OF YOUR
COMMITMENT TO ABSTINENCE.
AND NOW I READ RECENTLY THAT YOU
THINK MAYBE THAT WAS A MISTAKE?
>> NOT SO MUCH THAT IT WAS A
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE. I THINK EACH OF US HAS OUR OWN
JOURNEY WITH IT.
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE
HARPER’S THING WHICH WAS
INTERESTING I HAD NOT THOUGHT
ABOUT WHEN I READ IT, 13, 14
YEARS OLD MY SEX LIFE WAS BEING
TALKED ABOUT.
TALKED ABOUT. I AM HAPPY TO THINK IN 2019 THAT
PROBABLY WOULDN’T HAPPEN.
IT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN.
WE HAD TO GO ON OUR OWN JOURNEY
TO DECIDE WHAT SEX MEANT TO US
AND WHAT THAT CHOICE WAS GOING
TO BE FOR US.
GROWING UP IN A CONSERVATIVE
BACKGROUND, THERE WERE THINGS
THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE BEFORE WE
FULLY UNDERSTOOD.
FULLY UNDERSTOOD. NOW AS MEN, AND WHEN WE MADE THE
CHOICE TO BECOME MEN, IT WAS OUR
CHOICE.
CHOICE. >> I WILL TELL YOU THIS.
FAST FORWARD TO NOW.
WE HAVE PRIYANKA ON THE OTHER
DAY.
DAY. WAIT, WE SHOULD PLAY THE CLIP.
SHE TALKED ABOUT -- SHE IS THE
BEST -- HOW YOU GUYS MET.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> WERE YOU INTRODUCED AT THE
MET GALA?
MET GALA? >> YES.
>> YES. WE KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE.
AT THE MET GALA BECAUSE WE WERE
WITH RALPH LAUREN, THE TWO
SINGLE PEOPLE.
SINGLE PEOPLE. THEY ARE LIKE DO YOU WANT TO
WALK TOGETHER?
WALK TOGETHER? WE WERE LIKE, SURE, OKAY.
AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME WE
KIND OF LIKE SPENT TIME
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. BEFORE THAT IT WAS LIKE, HEY,
YOU’RE CUTE.
YOU’RE CUTE. >> THAT WORKED OUT WELL.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> SHE IS SPIRITED.
>> SHE DIDN’T SAY THAT.
>> SHE DEFINITELY DID.
>> IT WAS SMOOTHER THAN THAT.
>> IT WASN’T EVEN THAT SMOOTH.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. SO YOUR TURN.
WAIT.
WAIT. >> ROLL THE CLIP.
>> I HAVEN’T SEEN THIS.

>> I DIDN’T KNOW THAT.
>> WHY IS IT NAMED AFTER YOU?
>> I WAS BORN IN THAT HOSPITAL.
YEARS LATER -- IT’S A VERY SMALL
TOWN, KIND OF BETWEEN TWO BIG
CITIES.
CITIES. THEY REACHED OUT AND SAID, HEY,
WE WANT TO NAME THE BABY
HOSPITAL AFTER YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME AND CUT
THE RIBBON?
THE RIBBON? I FLEW WITH MY MOTHER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A STROKE.
