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.”

US WEEKLY: Joey Fatone Forecasts What He’d ‘Like to See’ in a Potential ‘NSync Reunion Tour

There are no current plans for an ‘NSync reunion tour, but if anything changes, Joey Fatone has already drawn up ideas.

“The hardest part about that is, I think, we all [haven’t] had our brains together in a long time,” Fatone, 47, exclusively told Us Weekly at ‘90s Con on Friday, September 13. “All of us have probably different views, different points, different ideas, completely different things [to include] … now that we have been separated as a group.”

Fatone was a member of the iconic ‘90s boy band alongside Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick. While the group split in 2002, they reunited 20 years later for the 2023 songs “Better Place,” commissioned for Timberlake’s animated film Trolls Band Together, and “Paradise.”

While dream-planning a potential tour, Fatone wasn’t sure how the men would create a set list.

“In general, would you wanna put the old hits out? Of course, that’s what we would do [and] that’s what I would like to see,” Fatone told Us. “That’s probably what would happen if we did go on tour, but I think for us to do it, it’s gonna be a collection of a lot of different things that we do.”

He continued, “If we happen to go on tour and if it happens to take place, people are probably gonna see something they’ve never seen before — and everything they’ve seen before.”

For Fatone personally, he’d likely add “I Thought She Knew” to the tracklist since it’s his No. 1 ‘NSync single to perform.

“It always was always my favorite,” Fatone gushed.

While Us fans can only dream of a future ‘NSync tour, Fatone is busy celebrating the band’s heyday at ‘90s Con.

Forbes: NSYNC’s ‘Bye Bye Bye’ Surges More Than 800% In Sales

NSYNC was one of the most successful musical acts of the ‘90s and early ‘00s all around the world. Of course, once Justin Timberlake broke away from the group and embarked on a highly successful solo career, the boy band’s music began to fade from the charts. In the decades since, they have largely been relegated to nostalgic favorites status…but a special occasion has brought them back and made them sales champions again.

The boy band’s “Bye Bye Bye” is featured in the movie Deadpool & Wolverine, which has turned out to be one of the hottest releases of the year. The title recently passed $1 billion at the box office globally, and it’s only been in theaters for a few weeks.

Deadpool & Wolverine is so popular, even the songs in the film are experiencing huge gains. “Bye Bye Bye” is one such smash, which is selling well once again, decades after it was first released, after Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman introduced it to millions–and reminded many others how much they enjoy the track in the first place.

PEOPLE: The Five Members of *NSYNC: Where Are They Now?

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.
