Is NSYNC Continuing On Without Justin Timberlake?

If there ever was a time for a boy band to get back together, it would be right now. With the success of Backstreet Boys and other bands from the 90's and early 2000's right now, NSYNC would dominate with a comeback tour.

With the recent reunion between the 5 guys for the latest Trolls movie "Trolls Band Together", it has sparked huge interest with 4 of the members of NSYNC. That being Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and JC Chasez. But what about Justin Timberlake?

The group has been approached by multiple people to do a stadium tour, according to TMZ. 4 of the 5 members showed extreme interest, but can you guess which member hasn't responded? If you said Justin, you would be correct. Maybe it's because he's currently on his solo world tour.

If there's another good reason for the 5 to band together, it would that the group would be celebrating their 25th anniversary. Perfect timing? We think so. But there's again the silence from Justin Timberlake and his people. That is not going over well with the other 4 members. They feel it was a tease when they reunited for the Trolls movie, but then did nothing after the fact. TMZ reported that Sony was hoping for them to do something for the 25th anniversary. They even have major record labels hounding them to created new music.

The 4 members have been there for Justin when he needed them in the past, to help promote his own projects, but he's not there for them when they want to do something. Again, he's on his tour, so he's focusing on that, per his management.

TMZ said that according to their sources, Lance, Chris, Joey, and JC had a meeting in New York City to talk about the bands future and possibly going out on tour without Justin. How will that go over with the fans, not sure. But we do know that if all members did go on a stadium tour, it would be almost as big as Taylor Swifts stadium tour.

Do you think bands hate playing their same hit songs, show after show? Do you ever wonder how many times a band has actually played that song live?

Loudwire put together a list of 50 rock artists and their most performed song.  It's based on data from Setlist.fm, so if you don't agree, for some reason, take it up with them.

While they’ll rarely admit it publicly, many artists say that over time, playing their biggest hits night after night  can wind up feeling like a chore. And the reasons for that weariness are numerous.

Sometimes, the sentiment of a song written years, or even decades, before will no longer resonate the way it once did. Or a band will just change its mind about what a song means to them.

The setlist website setlist.fm, tracked 510 instances of R.E.M. performing “The One I Love” between 1986 and 2008, compared with only one recorded occasion on which they  performed “Shiny Happy People,” a chart hit that was railed on by critics, and even bashed by Michael Stipe himself.

In other cases, a band will feel it’s outgrown the hallmarks of a major hit written in the early stage of its career. Radiohead, British rock innovators, hardly ever perform their breakout song of jagged angst, “Creep.”

And sometimes, artists just get plain sick and tired of playing a song. It becomes especially hard when a song endures over decades — how many times, for instance, has Sting pleaded in falsetto to turn on that red light?

The late Dolores O’Riordan, of the Cranberries, once joked, “I’ve sang ‘Zombie’ so many times that I actually feel like a zombie,” referencing the band’s impossible-to-let go 1994 single. She said, when you're doing your old hits for so long, "you feel like you’re stuck in a loop or something, so with new material you feel very much alive.”

Bands try to remember when they get on stage that they were also once fans. So that means playing old songs, new songs, and doing everything with a level of passion that hopefully inspires that 12-year-old, or 40-year-old to say: ‘Damn. I love this song. I love this band!’”
