While one might expect the rest of *NSYNC to harbor some pretty deep resentment toward Justin Timberlake for breaking up the band in 2002, it seems like, at least after all this time, the guys’ mutual respect truly has no strings attached.
As everyone and Taylor Swift well knows by now, the iconic quintet of Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick recently reunited to record “Better Place” for Trolls Band Together, a film fittingly about the power of boy bands and brotherhood. “Justin came up to us about the idea and… it only fit right for us to do this together as a group. I think the message, the meaning, everything just… came to him,” he told Yahoo! Entertainment.
