Sorry, 'NSYNC fans — they won't be reuniting for the Super Bowl halftime show
Say bye, bye, bye to your dreams of an 'NSYNC reunion at the Super Bowl.
Joey Fatone told TMZ Sports that when Justin Timberlake performs at the Super Bowl LII halftime show on Feb. 4, his former bandmates won't be dancing beside him. "I'm here right now," Fatone said, standing outside a restaurant in West Hollywood, California. "If I was doing something, I'd be at rehearsals right now. There's your proof."
Fatone was singing a different tune last October, after it was announced that Timberlake will be the halftime entertainment — at the time, he said an 'NSYNC reunion was possible, just a few things needed to be worked out. This could be an elaborate distraction and 'NSYNC is planning a surprise set, but it sounds like fans who were hoping for a "Tearin' Up My Heart" singalong and J.C. Chasez wardrobe malfunction have to keep waiting.
