ICONIC ’90s band Hanson stepped out for a rare appearance as they reunited for a performance.
The pop trio, comprised of brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson, released their biggest hit MmmBop 27 years ago.

Hanson appeared on Wednesday night in Los Angeles for the Inaugural Grammy Hall of Fame Gala on May 21.
The brothers looked younger than ever and celebrated a new achievement in their musical careers.
Hanson were being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for their iconic record 27-years after the release.
Cameras captured the brothers walking down the red carpet with huge smiles on their faces.
Zac wore a black suede jacket on top of a white T-shirt, which he paired with pants.
He still sported his long brunette locks, which were styled in a loose windswept look.
Taylor rocked a matching blue satin suit, which he wore over a bare chest with several beaded necklaces.
His blond flowing locks were left natural and he smiled widely alongside his brothers.
Isaac looked smart in a black suit over a white buttoned shirt, which he left unbuttoned at the top.
He remains the only brother with short hair.
The brothers took to the stage in front of the attendees and happily performed their famous song, which was previously nominated for two Grammys.
Lead singer Taylor answered questions while walking the red carpet.
MEMORY LANE
“It’s an amazing honor to be a part of it,” Taylor told PEOPLE magazine.
“The Recording Academy has been honoring recordings for years and trying to put them into the history books as members of the Hall of Fame.”
The brothers also took the opportunity to reminisce on when they attended the Grammys in 1997.
They claimed to remember most of the night.
“I remember Aretha Franklin doing opera, stepping in for Pavarotti, which was absolutely amazing,” Isaac said.
He also noted when a man jumped on stage in the middle of Bob Dylan’s performance with “Soy bomb,” written over his chest.
“It was an amazing experience. Here we are, just a bunch of songwriter kids playing in a band, trying to make it happen,” Isaac admitted.
FAMILY LIFE
“Then it happens and here you are performing in front of, not only legends, but also some of your idols and stuff. It’s amazing.”
Hanson mostly stayed out of the spotlight in recent years but still continues to tour occasionally.
Now they’ve grown up, the band have 15 children between them.
Isaac married his wife Nicole Dufresne in September 2006 and has three children, Everett, 17, and Monroe, 16, and daughter Odette, 10.

Taylor married his wife Natalie 22 years ago and has seven kids, sons Ezra, 21, River, 17, Viggo, 15, and Indiana, 5, and daughters Penelope, 19, Wilhelmina, 11, and Maybellene, 3.
Zac also married his wife Kate Tucker in 2006 and has since welcomed five kids, Shepherd, 16, Abraham, 10, and Quincy, 3, and daughters Junia, 13, and Lucille, 6.
Music does not seem to be the dream job for their kids, however.
“Music is so many other things. The DNA plays a huge part. We don’t all three sing together just because we all liked music,” Zac explained.
“It’s part of that gift that comes with the natural ear and the environment you grow up in.
“So yeah, there’s definitely music in the genes, in the kids,” he continued.
“So we’ll see what they do. It will never be pushed upon them.”
