JC Chasez Dashes Lance’s Hopes for an ‘N Sync Reunion
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reunions, Pop,
Although he has seen recent fame on Dancing with the Stars, written a New York Times best seller and almost made it into space, Lance Bass can’t seem to shake his glory days.
In countless interviews, the former ‘N Sync member has made it quite clear that he would be open working again with his old mates. He’s also made himself look kinda desperate in the process. Last November, Bass shared his reunion hopes with MTV. “There’s always a possibility for a tour or reunion. It’s something that we really haven’t discussed yet. But it’s something I would love to talk about. I think it’s maybe needed in the next year or so, and I think our fans would love it, ‘cause we never got to say goodbye.”
Lance then basically repeated himself in a recent chat with Billboard. “You never know what the other guys are going to be able to do or what they’re thinking, but I hope in the next few years we would definitely be able to do another tour and another album.”
