Heavy "Dancing With the Stars" news.
A “Dancing With the Stars” alum teased the possibility of a major reunion. In a December 2023 interview, Joey Fatone, who competed in season 4 and Season 15 of the celebrity dancing show, hinted that an ‘NSYNC reunion tour could happen.
“You know what? Never say never,” Fatone told People magazine. “I think we have to honestly have a sit-down and have a conversation.”
Fatone was in the boy band with Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick from 1995 to 2004, per USA Today. They recorded hit songs such as “Girlfriend” and “Bye Bye Bye.” In 2018, NSYNC received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
While they have reunited several times in the past and even appeared onstage together at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in September, an ‘NSYNC reunion tour would for sure leave nostalgic fans freaking out.
