*NSYNC Member Details Life After Their Split
*NSYNC was one of the most popular boy bands of the early 2000s. Although they never won a Grammy award they did score eight nominations. The group went their separate ways after concluding their Celebrity tour in 2002. Band member Joey Fatone says he is grateful that he didn’t have to “reinvent” himself following their split.
“Well, thank God [the breakup] didn’t force me to [reinvent myself]. I wanted to. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh d—, I’m out of a job. What have I got to do? It was more or less, ‘Holy s—, these doors are opened. Let’s see if I can walk in. I may suck, but let’s find out,” Fatone said.
“I always wanted to do Broadway. Right after *NSYNC, I did Rent on Broadway. I did Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway. And then when I did Dancing With the Stars, people saw my personality.”
