Boyz II Men Returns to Philadelphia

The 4-time Grammy Winners have performed at Lincoln Financial Field a number of times, but not for a few years. They're still very familiar with Philadelphia fans, being fans themselves.

"When you look at our fans in Philly, it's the passion," Wanya Morris said. "Nobody ever talked about the passion or the fandom of everybody else's being like, 'Oh, it's the worst, it's the worst.' It's always Eagles, it's always Philly, (and) it's just that because our moves and everything are so big, everybody sees it.

"We're not the worst, we're just the most passionate. And the deal is you're going to see us because we big. Philly is always going to be big. That's why the Eagles do what we do."
