Additional N'Sync Biography
In addition to a host of Grammy nominations, 'N Sync has performed at the Academy Awards, the Super Bowl and the Olympics, and sang or recorded duets with the likes of Michael Jackson, The Jackson Five, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan and Stevie Wonder. The group also appeared as themselves on The Simpsons, in an episode which aired on February 25, 2001.
The group was formed in 1995. The idea for the group allegedly came from Chris Kirkpatrick, who then started it on the way to success. The band's name reportedly comes from a comment that Justin Timberlake's mother made after the boys first met and harmonized together; she was impressed by how "in sync" their voices were. The name is also commonly reported to have come from the last letter of each member's name: JustiN, ChriS, JoeY, JasoN (soon replaced by Lance-steN) and JC ("Lansten" was a nickname made up for Lance to continue the last letter motif once he replaced Jason.) The group first was sent over-seas, where Pop music was more accepted. After finding major success, the group came back to America*NSYNC, 1998.
'N Sync's big break came after taking up an offer to do a Disney Channel Concert special. After the concert was shown in the summer of 1998, C.D and tour sales took off. Their self-titled debut in 1998 sold over ten million copies with four number one hits: "I Want You Back", "Tearin' Up My Heart", "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" and "I Drive Myself Crazy". The group also recorded a Christmas album, Home For Christmas, which was released on November 10, 1998. The group also released 'N The Mix, an official home video that went multi-platinum.
The group then began the "No Strings Attached World" Tour. Tickets for the first leg sold an amazing 1 million in the first day on sale, and all venues except one stadium sold out the first day. The stage was a third bigger than their previous tour, and featured a moving platform to allow the group to get closer to the crowd. The adventures of preparing for the tour were featured on an MTV special "Making the Tour". The tour was than featured on a HBO special, that aired the same week the group's song "It's Gonna Be Me" hit #1 on the charts. The group then went on the second leg of the tour in the fall and performed one last show in 2001 for the ]" concert.
The group also released Live! From Madison Square Garden, a home video release of the groups HBO Special.Celebrity, 2001.
The group has multiple RIAA awards. These include three diamond awards, four platinum home video releases, and multiple platinum awards for the group's records.
Bass became a NASA-certified cosmonaut after months of training in Russia in 2002, but has yet to realize his goal of heading into outer space due to lack of funding from financial backers. He opened a film production company, Bacon and Eggs, which produced several films including 2007's Lovewrecked. He also starred in his own movie, On the Line, with fellow bandmember Joey Fatone. In 2006, after months of media speculation, Bass confirmed that he is gay in a front page cover story for People magazine. Following the revelation, Bass's love life has become fodder for many American blogs and tabloids. In 2007, he took over the role of Corny Collins in the Broadway musical Hairspray. His autobiography, Out of Sync, is set to be released on October 23, 2007.
According to Jive Records, 'N Sync signed a contract guaranteeing a minimum of five albums. So far they have delivered only two (No Strings Attached and Celebrity), and a Greatest Hits album (though with no input from the group itself). This means the band is still contractually obligated to deliver two more records, though there is no specific deadline on when they must be delivered.
In 2006, Timberlake was interviewed on an episode of MTV's All Eyes On series and inadvertently admitted that he was responsible for 'N Sync's extended break. He also mentioned that even if the band were to re-unite now, he was unsure of what they would be able to accomplish, as the music they were once famous for has since decreased in popularity. Hip hop music, especially snap music, R&B, and alternative rock have seemed to replace bubblegum pop music (or "dirty pop," as the group called it) as the genre of choice for the pre-teen to young adult demographic that formed the vast majority of NSYNC's fanbase.
Several members of the group have been vocal about their hopes that the band will come together for another album. In an interview with WIHT on September 7, 2007, Kirkpatrick said, "...We're all friends. didn't officially ever "break-up", you know, and there will always be room for . As much as a lot of people are going to hate that, it will be great! To the people that hate it, we'll be like, 'Hahaha! There ya go! Back again! We told you it was coming back!'" On September 13, 2007, Fatone responded to the possibility of a future reunion by saying, "You never know. Once everyone has a break from all the stuff they are doing, it’s always a possibility, maybe two or three years down the road." |
