Joey Fatone is weighing in on the likelihood of an *NSYNC reunion, addressing the ongoing speculation that has kept fans hopeful for years. The former boy band member shared information on where things stand today, offering a clearer picture of whether the iconic group could reunite again in the future.

All The Members Of *NSYNC Discussed The Possibility Of A Reunion

In the past few years, speculation about an *NSYNC reunion has resurfaced repeatedly, fueled by fan interest and occasional public appearances by the boy band, consisting of Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick.

In a conversation with Page Six published on April 10, Fatone shared an update, saying that after conferring with all the members, he now has a concrete answer. Unfortunately, it’s not something die-hard *NSYNC fans want to hear.

Fatone said the conversation was more about catching up with each other and finding out how everyone was doing. They did touch on the possibility of a reunion, but sadly, it isn’t happening. “Literally we just said, ‘Hey, do we see anything happening in a couple of years of *NSYNC?’ And that was a no,” Fatone told the outlet.

Joey Fatone ‘Finally Got An Answer’

Fatone also shared that he believes not all of the members are interested in a reunion, though he did not specify which ones. “So do I see anything happen in the next two to four years? Probably not. Flat out. Finally got an answer,” he shared.

The former boy band member made it clear that a reunion is unlikely in the next few years, but he did not completely shut down the idea of it happening down the line.

In 2025, Fatone publicly shared his interest in reuniting with his former bandmates, but back then, they hadn’t talked about it. He admitted that it was difficult to get all five members’ schedules aligned, as reported by The Blast. “Everybody has families and relationships now. It’s hard to get the five of us together and it’s a huge commitment,” Fatone said at that time.

*NSYNC Announced An Indefinite Hiatus In 2002

*NSYNC formed in 1995 and released their debut single, “I Want You Back,” in Germany in 1996. It was released in the U.S. in 1998 and was followed by several hit songs, including “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” and “This I Promise You.” After four albums together, the band went on an indefinite hiatus, but did not make a formal breakup announcement.

Following their Celebrity Tour in 2002, the group decided to take a break and pursue other opportunities individually. In November that same year, Timberlake released his first solo album, “Justified.” In 2017, Timberlake revealed that he left the group because he felt he “cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group.”

Joey Fatone Felt ‘Blindsided’

In 2023, Fatone shared his thoughts about *NSYNC’s “breakup,” telling Yahoo Entertainment what happened behind the scenes. He said he wasn’t surprised about the band’s “breakup,” but felt “blindsided” after learning that Timberlake was releasing his own album and touring. In his mind, Timberlake was going to pursue a solo career, but would be coming back to *NSYNC.

However, he didn’t blame Timberlake. Instead, he said “it was the record company” that didn’t keep him in the loop about what was going to happen.

In 2024, Bass and Kirkpatrick also talked about that time in the documentary “Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands,” saying they were told *NSYNC was getting back together after a six-month break. “That just never happened. So it just fazed out without any fanfare, at all, with no goodbye. We just never got back together,” Bass said.

Kirkpatrick recalled feeling “anger,” “animosity,” and “resentment” back then, adding that they were confused about what was happening with the boy band.

*NSYNC’s Last Performance Together Was In 2024

Though not officially reuniting as *NSYNC, the five members have performed together as a boy band over the years. In 2013, they reunited at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they performed a medley of their songs. Ten years later, all five members got together to release the song “Better Place,” which they collaborated on for the movie “Trolls Band Together.”

Their last performance together as a group was in March 2024, a surprise performance at Timberlake’s “One Night Only” concert in L.A. *NSYNC performed a few of their hits, including “Bye Bye Bye,” “It’s Gonna Be Me,” and “Girlfriend,” much to the delight of fans. They also performed “Paradise,” one of the tracks in Timberlake’s 2024 album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” that features his former band members.
