Timberlake then went on to note that he was more focused presently on his new movie. "We will have to see what happens in terms of live music, and I appreciate the question, but my focus right now is on Palmer."

Back in 2021, Timberlake told The Radio Times (via The Mirror) that he, too, wouldn't rule out an *NSYNC reunion. "I don't have a crystal ball for what will happen with the music industry in the months, or years, to come. That's something that weighs on my mind in a heavy way," he said at the time.

"I always feel bad that there was no ending, because we didn't have a final show, we didn't have a final tour, because we didn't know it was the final days. I think we owe it to the fans to give them something at some point. I just hope it's before I'm 80 years old," he laughed.

"I think it just has to be the right time; we all have to be inspired in the moment," Fatone continued. "But I do think the world needs something again from *NSYNC."

However, Fatone noted that it wasn't out of the question that the group could have a full and official reunion at some point in the future. "Never say never," he said. "I mean, who knew we were going to be doing Coachella a few years ago?"

*NSYNC previously reunited in 2019 for a surprise performance with Ariana Grande at Coachella, though Timberlake was unable to join them. Fatone later revealed to Billboard that Timberlake's absence was simply due to obligations of a solo tour he was on at the time.

The source also stated that the group would be reuniting as NSYNC in order to release a new song. This would be *NSYNC's first single since the chart-topping "Girlfriend" in 2002. Neither Universal nor reps for the members of *NSYNC have confirmed the reports.

Notably, it's also rumored that this will not be the only *NSYNC reunion of 2023. Earlier this year, Entertainment Tonight reported that a source stated that Timberlake's bandmates "are expected to have surprise roles in the third Trolls film, Trolls Band Together," with him.
