NSYNC Reflects on 20-Year Hiatus in Documentary

*NSYNC members Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick reflected on their unexpected 20-year hiatus in the documentary 'Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands'. Initially supportive of Justin Timberlake's solo career, the band anticipated a brief break following their 2002 tour, only to find themselves phased out without closure. Kirkpatrick expressed feelings of animosity and confusion during this time, while Bass lamented the lack of communication from Timberlake and the management. Manager Johnny Wright noted Timberlake's success with his debut album 'Justified' made it difficult for him to return to the group. Despite the past tensions, the current dynamics among the band members seem more amicable, with hopes for future collaborations remaining uncertain. This documentary sheds light on the complexities and emotional challenges faced by boy bands during their peak and subsequent transitions.
