Reports have indicated Justin Timberlake is in talks to pull off a major NSYNC reunion for their 30th anniversary. A new song was just recorded for ‘Trolls Band Together’ with the band, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick. They have already made guest appearances with Timberlake on stage during his ‘Forget The World Tour’ and released a song, ‘Paradise,’ in his latest album, ‘Everything I Thought I Was.’ Plans are currently underway for the new album and a documentary that will depict their rise to stardom, possibly sometime in 2025.
This whole project hinges on whether Timberlake will be part of it. A source close to the band revealed to Sunday Mirror: “The wish is always for them to do one big comeback. This might be the one–the 30th anniversary is something really special. Definitely, for the remainder of the boys, it’s a now-or-never thing. A live performance recorded as a special, along with a full-scale documentary based around their journey and untold story would be a huge deal.”
NSYNC’s New Music Is On The Way
“They’ve been talking new music, and have tracks in development right now. If all of the planets align it could be an epic 2025. Of course, Justin holds the key to it all. But there is much optimism. This isn’t a money-grab, but a nod from the group to what they achieved, and how much they appreciate their fans.”
Chris Kirkpatrick recently revealed to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that the group had indeed been talking about new music: “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.”
He continued “Hopefully, you know, we’re all kind of in agreement that moving forward, our fanbase and a lot of people still want this. So, we can’t disappoint them. So it’s not a positive but it is we’ll see.”
Lance Bass added, “It’s beautiful, you know? To be this age and the fans are still this excited, it’s a dream come true. I had no idea the fandom would go this nuts.” He said it was pretty emotional the first time all of them got into the studio together.
