Fans still hoping for a true *NSYNC reunion are going to have to wait a little longer.
Speaking to PEOPLE on Sept. 13 at 90s Con 2024 in Daytona Beach, Fla., band member Joey Fatone said that given the five singers’ busy schedules, “we haven’t had that conversation yet.”
“Justin [Timberlake] is finishing up his tour, I’ve been doing a bunch of things with AJ [McLean] from Backstreet Boys. So that’s been great.”
But, he added, “hopefully at some point when [Justin] is done with his tour, we’ll sit down and go, ‘What are we doing?’ and figure it out. I would love to have that conversation, whether yes or no — I just want to know. Just tell me so we can move on with our lives. Either say we had a good run and be done with it, or see what we can do.”

Meet the Kids of *NSYNC’s Bandmates
Elaborating one day later during a 90s Con panel with fellow boy banders Trevor Penick, Dan Miller, Erik-Michael Estrada and Jacob Underwood of O-Town, Fatone, 47, picked back up with the conversation, saying a second part of the question is whether or not *NSYNC would make new music, tour or both.
“Everybody has families and relationships now,” he continued of the group, which also includes Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick. “It’s hard to get the five of us together and it’s a huge commitment.”
“However I will say the gears are in the right direction as far as the interest from everybody.”
