Justin Timberlake really did bring *NSYNC back together for his new album.
At his free, one-night show in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, Timberlake, 43, brought back his *NSYNC bandmates for a special performance. This marked the first time the group performed together since the 2013 VMAs.
On Timberlake’s story, the “Selfish” singer’s crowd could be heard screaming as a large curtain revealed the ensemble of Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick singing “Gone” on the stage behind him.

The band’s surprise performance sent many into a frenzy, including Chrissy Teigen sharing a clip of the group singing the hit song “Girlfriend.”
Tiegen, 38, was joined by John Legend of the show as the group also sang songs like “It’s Gonna Be Me” and “Bye Bye Bye.”
Teigen then shared the band’s discography for their song “That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You” and wrote, “my first dance @justintimberlake.”

Following the show, which took place at The Wiltern, Timberlake shared a snap of the stage with five empty stools on it. “That was fun. Let’s do it again soon. 😁,” Bass, 44, teased in the comments section.
Timberlake is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated new album, Everything I Thought It Was, on Friday.
As of late, the singer revealed the tracklist with a billboard in Los Angeles. It also was noted that the second to last track, titled “Paradise” features the entire group as well.
The “Sexy Back” singer teased the track on Instagram before his show and ahead of taking the stage last night with his bandmates.
Kirkpatrick, 52, hinted at that night’s surprise appearance, writing, “Would be fun to perform this together sometime!” Fatone, 47, jokingly commented, “I sound good !!!!”
“Paradise” marks their latest collaboration since the “Tearin’ Up My Heart” group reunited to release their first song together in over two decades, “Better Place,” for the Trolls: Band Together soundtrack.

To celebrate the reunion, they stepped out together at the MTV VMAs and the movie’s red carpet premiere.
Shortly after announcing the new solo album, Timberlake also appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to reveal that the group was indeed in the studio.
He noted at the time that “there may be a little something in the future.”
“It’s kind of crazy, like, there’s so much that just picks up right where it left off as far as the chemistry,” he said.
Justin Timberlake is set to embark on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour beginning April 29 in Vancouver, Canada.
