Okay, deep breaths everyone.
In news that’s sure to transport you straight back to the early ‘00s, iconic boy-band *NSYNC might be coming back.
Known for their hits “It’s Gonna Be Me”, “I Want You Back” and “Girlfriend”, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone could be popping back in our lives for a special reunion.
Speaking of ’90s nostalgia, we had a good ol’ yarn about Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt’s reunion at the SAG Awards on this episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…
Apparently, it’s all thanks to JC Chasez. The *NSYNC lead-signer – who went on to make this unforgettable, not-at-all-cringeworthy video – is at the forefront of bringing these legends back to the stage again.
A source close to him told Page Six that JC is doing his “due diligence” as he conducts “the appropriate research” for a comeback this year. If they were to make a comeback this year, then they would be doing so on the 20th anniversary of No Strings Attached, which is definitely their best album.
In the “research” that JC is conducting, he seems to be fostering relationships with people who have credentials to make this reunion a sure thing. He’s been spotted supporting songwriter Max Martin, hanging out with artistic director/choreographer Kyle Hanagami and chatting to other boyband members.
Unfortunately, the source also said that if a reunion were to happen, that Justin Timberlake would not be a part of it.
It wouldn’t be the first reunion performance that would be shy of Timberlake. The boy-band reunited last year at the Coachella festival with Ariana Grande. Grande, a massive *NSYNC fan, samples their album-track “It Makes Me Ill” on her single “break up with your girlfriend i’m bored”, hence the special guest appearance.
Whether Justin Timberlake is down for a reunion or not, we can sure as hell tell you that we’ll be there.
