Why nsync break up

As Joey Fatone explained, it seemed like the group would continue making music together, but that's not what happened. He said, according to The Huffington Post , "We thought we were getting back together.

And then it was like, nope. The record company wanted to push Justin, I guess, is what it was. Lance Bass explained that the band agreed to take six months off and then get back together.

He said he "cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group" and was "growing out of it. Although NSYNC announced the start of a "temporary hiatus" in early , the band has not recorded new material since then. In , Lance Bass confirmed that the group had "definitely broken up".

Justin Timberlake went on to become one of the world's best-selling music artists, with more than 32 million albums and 56 million singles sold throughout his solo career. Chris Kirkpatrick , who had missed the cut for the Backstreet Boys, met with Lou Pearlman in to talk about forming a second group. Pearlman said that he would finance the group if Kirkpatrick would find other young male singers.

This prompted Kirkpatrick to call Joey Fatone, a friend he had met while working at Universal Studios. Then, Fatone and Kirkpatrick approached Lou Pearlman for more suggestions. Soon, they decided to even out their sound by recruiting Jason Galasso as their bass singer. After several weeks of rehearsals, the group set up a showcase and began planning to officially sign with Pearlman's Trans Continental Label.

However, at the last minute, Galasso dropped out. He was not fond of the group's musical direction, claiming that being a teen idol was never a goal of his. In need of a bass, the group auditioned several people without success. Timberlake soon called his vocal coach, who suggested a year-old from Mississippi named Lance Bass.
