Justin Timberlake reunited with NSYNC for a surprise performance at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, marking the first time the quintet performed together since the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. The reunion took place during Timberlake's 'One Night Only' show, ahead of the release of his new album 'Everything I Thought It Was' on Friday.
The set included snippets of hits such as 'Bye Bye Bye' and 'It's Gonna Be Me', as well as a debut of their new collaboration 'Paradise', which appears on Timberlake's upcoming album. Band members JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick joined Timberlake on stage, moving fans to tears with the long-awaited reunion.
Speculation had been rife before the show, with industry insiders promising something special. The last time NSYNC performed together was in 2013, and fans have been hoping for a full reunion since the group recorded 'Better Place' for the 'Trolls Band Together' soundtrack last September.
Timberlake's set also included solo hits such as 'Suit & Tie' and 'Cry Me a River', as well as a guest appearance from R&B singer Coco Jones and rapper Tobe Nwigwe. However, the highlight was undoubtedly the NSYNC reunion, which Timberlake acknowledged was a momentous occasion.
As Timberlake prepares for a global tour to support his new album, fans are left hoping for another reunion. For now, the Los Angeles performance stands as a rare and emotional moment for the band and their followers.
