Bass told the publication music would be a big part of the film, although it’s unclear if *NSYNC’s catalog will be included.
In 2001, *NSYNC released their third album,Celebrity, with three singles “Pop,” “Gone” and “Girlfriend” climbing the music charts.
To promote the album,Justin Timberlake,Joey Fatone,Chris Kirkpatrick,JC Chasezand Bass embarked on a four-month stadium tourPopOdyssey Tourwhich earned over $90 million and becoming one of the biggest tours of 2001.
The following year, the band went on theCelebrity Tourwhich earned nearly $30 million. After the tour, the group went on a hiatus that has lasted 18 years.
In April 2019, Fatone, Kirkpatrick, Chasez and Bass reunited onstage duringAriana Grande’s Coachella performance.
Fatone toldEntertainment Tonightin November the band hadbroached the idea of reuniting.
“I think that’s when it really was kinda a lot stronger because I was with my fellas and stuff,” Fatone said of the April performance.
But Fatone pointed out the mini reunion was part of Grande’s performance and didn’t signify a longer-term reunion.
“We were excited but it was Ariana’s show,” he said. “So we were just like, ‘Hey, we’re coming in, having a great time.’ And that’s what we did. We had a blast doing it ‘cause it was, like, two songs, let’s have fun, no stress on us.”
Nonetheless, the Coachella performance had the group in “talks about possibly toying with the idea,” Fatone added.
“So, I say never say never,” Fatone said about the possibility of the ’00s crooners getting back together someday. “But we really don’t know … I’m only one [member]. There’s others.”
The whole band, including Timberlake,reunited at their Walk of Fame ceremonylast April. Before that, the last time they all got together was forChasez’s 40th birthdayin August 2016.
