It’s been more than 25 years since the world was first introduced to Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass as *NSYNC.
After first making a splash in Germany in 1996, the band went on to release their debut self-titled album,*NSYNC, in March 1998. In 2002, though, the group went on hiatus, however in the years since, the members have reunited on various occasions for personal milestones, their Walk of Fame ceremony and in 2024, to perform together live for the first time since the 2013 MTV VMAs at Timberlake’s concert in L.A.
In addition to being featured on Timberlake’s latest album Everything I Thought It Was in the song “Paradise,” the five men worked together for the first time in 20 years for the 2023 song “Better Place” from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack.
A recent reunion — sans Timberlake as he continues to tour Europe — saw the remaining four members stepping out for the July 22 premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, which features their song, “Bye Bye Bye.”
While it’s unclear what might be in store in terms of a reunion — with Kirkpatrick telling Entertainment Tonight, “Well, we’ve been talking about it for a while. We’re kicking the tires, seeing if the car will still drive, and, you know, we’ll see where it leads” — see what everyone has been up to individually in the years since the band initially took a breather.
