\n\t*NSYNC<\/a> superfans who were squirreling away cash and wishing for a possible 30th anniversary reunion tour in 2027 might want to re-allocate those funds because member Joey Fatone says the chances of him taking the stage again with former bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick are pretty slim.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile making the rounds this week promoting his new docuseries Boy Band Confidential<\/em><\/a>, Fatone said a reunion is unlikely at the moment, even with the anniversary of the band\u2019s 1997 self-title debut album on the horizon next year. While the group technically went on hiatus in 2002 following the Celebrity<\/em> tour and have not officially broken up, Fatone said he\u2019s constantly asked if there are any plans to get back together. \u201cDo I see anything in the near future? No I don\u2019t,\u201d he told ET<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n \n\tWhen ET<\/em>\u2018s Nischelle Turner noted that Chasez stirred the pot again last month during a panel at the Rewind Washington convention when he noted that all of them were about to hop on a Zoom call<\/a> for unspecified reasons, Fatone confirmed that all five did indeed gather for that chat. \u201cAll of us were there,\u201d Fatone said cryptically. \u201cTalking, just talking to each other. \u2018Hey, do we see anything?\u2019 Or anything like that? It\u2019s like \u2026 no.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tAs for whether he would want to do it, Fatone said yes, but it\u2019s not just his call, explaining that some of the boy band\u2019s members have young kids at home, some are also all-in, but \u201csome of the other guys? Maybe not. I can only speak for myself.\u201d When Turner said the \u201cgeneral consensus\u201d is that Timberlake \u2014 by far the most successful solo act of the bunch \u2014\u00a0is the \u201choldout\u201d on any get back, Fatone said that would seem to make sense, but at the end of the day it is a \u201cgroup thing,\u201d because they all have a little bit of doubt about whether it makes sense.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI know it sounds crazy, but we also have the doubt of, \u2018what happens if this sucks? What happens if it ain\u2019t good?\u2019,\u201d he said of a fear that re-capturing their early millennium chart magic and onstage chemistry might be hard after more than 20 years apart. When Turner suggested a Coachella surprise performance as a potential vehicle for a return, Fatone reminded her that they did hit the stage together with Ariana Grande<\/a> during her Coachella debut in 2019, sans Timberlake.<\/p>\n \n\tFatone also noted that he still does Broadway and solo shows because he loves performing and plans to keep doing it \u201cuntil the day I die. I\u2019m ready to go! So whenever you guys are ready.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s not like they never appear together. In a sweetly nostalgic post last October celebrating the 30th anniversary of their formation, all five men appeared in a video compilation<\/a> in which they reflected on their deep bond with fans and each other. \u201c30 years. \u2728 October 1, 1995 feels like yesterday\u2026 and somehow a lifetime ago. Five guys chasing a dream turned into something bigger than we ever imagined,\u201d the post began. \u201cThe music. The shows. The memories. An unbreakable bond: with each other, and with all of you. Through every high and low, your love has carried us. Forever grateful. \ud83d\udc99 Here\u2019s to three decades of *NSYNC.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFrom 1995 until their hiatus in 2002, *NSYNC released four albums and scored an unbeatable run of chart hits, including the 2000 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 \u201cIt\u2019s Gonna Be Me,\u201d as well as the 1999 No. 2 hit \u201cMusic of My Heart\u201d with Gloria Estefan, the No. 4 smash \u201cBye Bye Bye\u201d and a pair of No. 5 singles with \u201cGirlfriend\u201d and \u201cThis I Promise You.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tThey also reunited in 2013 for a surprise performance<\/a> at that year\u2019s MTV VMAs, then again in 2018 for a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony<\/a>, as well as to release the song \u201cBetter Place<\/a>\u201d for Timberlake\u2019s 2023 Trolls Band Together<\/em> animated film and in the studio to record \u201cParadise<\/a>\u201d from Timberlake\u2019s sixth solo album, 2024\u2019s Everything I Thought It Was<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tDespite all those collaborations, though, Fatone made it sound like the chances of all five hitting the stage for a major tour is not in the cards for now. \u201cI\u2019ve always pushed the issue,\u201d he told ET<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019ll be honest, I always say, \u2018Hey, why not? because I think I\u2019m ready. I don\u2019t think everybody else is ready yet.\u201d <\/p>\n
