Although 'NSync broke up twenty years ago, fans have still been lucky enough to see some reunions over the years. During Justin Timberlake's One Night Only show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles in March 2024, concert attendees were surprised with a special performance by the 10-time Grammy Award winner and his former bandmates: Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone.
The group of five friends got together to playfully reveal their latest song "Paradise," from Timberlake's album Everything I Thought I Was, which was released later in the month.
Before their performance, Timberlake gave a sneak peek of the upcoming track on his Instagram, leading to playful reactions from the other members of the boy band.
Kirkpatrick joked that it would be fun to perform together sometime. Bass added, "I've been waiting forever, right here for this moment." Fatone humorously quipped, "I sound good!"
Timberlake had previously discussed reuniting with his bandmates during an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show in January.
"It's pretty amazing how easily we picked up where we left off in terms of chemistry," he shared with Kelly Clarkson. "We've been working in the studio together, so who knows, there might be something coming soon."
