NSYNC still considering making new music, potential reunion tour

NEW YORK — The members of NSYNC are still considering making new music and a potential reunion tour, two decades after they went their separate ways, and just weeks after Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest.

Chris Kirkpatrick told Entertainment Tonight on Monday that the boy band has been mulling over such a comeback “for a while.”

“We’re kicking the tires, seeing if the car will still drive, and, you know, we’ll see where it leads,” Kirkpatrick, 52, said at the Lincoln Center premiere of “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

“Our fan base and a lot of people still want this, so we can’t disappoint them,” he continued. “It’s not a positive, but it’s a we’ll see.”

Timberlake and Kirkpatrick, as well as Lance Bass, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone, have reunited multiple times in the past year.

They took the stage as presenters at the 2023 VMAs and released “Better Place,” their first track together in 21 years.

The song was featured in “Trolls Band Together,” the latest film in the “Trolls” franchise, which also stars Timberlake.

Back in March, the former bandmates even performed together in a surprise set during one of Timberlake’s Los Angeles shows.

Kirkpatrick’s comments come just over a month after the “SexyBack” singer was arrested for driving drunk on Long Island.

Timberlake, 43, blew through a stop sign in Sag Harbor in the early hours of June 18, after reportedly partying at the American Hotel. He was arraigned later that morning on a single DWI charge.

Timberlake will not appear in person for his scheduled court appearance on Friday, Patch reported last week. He remains slated to perform the first of two consecutive shows in Krákow, Poland, as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

Addressing his arrest for the first time on June 22, the “Selfish” singer thanked fans for sticking by him “through ups and downs, and lefts and rights.”

“It’s been a tough week,” he said to the crowd at Chicago’s United Center. “I know sometimes I’m hard to love, but you keep on loving me and I love you right back.”

NSYNC fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential reunion tour and new music from the iconic boy band. Despite the recent DWI arrest of Justin Timberlake, the group is still considering making a comeback after two decades apart.

Chris Kirkpatrick recently revealed that the band has been in talks about getting back together, much to the excitement of their loyal fan base.

The members of NSYNC, including Timberlake, Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Joey Fatone, have been reconnecting and sharing the stage over the past year. Their performance at the 2023 VMAs and the release of “Better Place” have left fans hopeful for more to come from the beloved group.

Although Timberlake’s recent legal troubles have caused a stir, the support from fans has been unwavering.

Despite the setback, Timberlake remains committed to his music and his fans, expressing gratitude for their continued support during his recent show in Chicago.

As NSYNC continues to explore the possibility of a reunion tour and new music, fans are eagerly anticipating what the future holds for the beloved boy band.
