REUNION RUMORS
Before Tuesday’s award show, rumors were swirling that *NSYNC was getting back together.
The band hasn’t released new music together in 20 years; Their final album, Celebrity, came out in 2001.
They officially announced their split in 2007, much to the chagrin of their loyal fanbase.
The band performed together in 2013 when Justin accepted an MTV VMA Video Vanguard Award.
They sang Girlfriend and Bye, Bye, Bye together.
*NSYNC also reunited in 2018 to celebrate their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Buzz of a potential reunion between the five founding *NSYNC members coincided with the release of promotional materials for the latest film in the Trolls franchise, Trolls Band Together.
Justin is set to reprise his role as Branch in the film and it appears the film may feature a new song from the 90s boyband.
