In a secondhand transcript from the Kidd Kraddick Show, Chris Kirkpatrick implied that Justin Timberlake’s solo tour was the primary reason *NSYNC hadn’t reunited, noting that the group would need to wait until Justin’s album was fully promoted. He emphasized that *NSYNC wasn’t bound by contracts or pacts, but by friendship—and that no one would leave the others “high and dry.” Meanwhile, Pop Dirt published anonymous gossip from a nightclub encounter with Joey Fatone, claiming the group had no plans to return to the studio in the fall or winter. The same source said Justin would be working with Turner Sports in November and December, and begin recording his second solo album in February. Another Pop Dirt post summarized a radio interview from Open House Party, where Justin reportedly said he’d be taking a break when asked about the group’s September studio plans. These unofficial accounts—some playful, some pointed—suggested that reunion talk was quietly fading behind the scenes.
