September 2003

A Yahoo! LAUNCH article linked to Joey Fatone’s role in GREASE mentioned fall plans to begin working on the next album. The transcript from a September 15th fan club chat—once accessible, now defunct—was rumored to confirm this. However, fan comments on Pop Dirt pointed to broken links and missing records, with only partial quotes surviving.

1 – The MMC & *NSYNC News fan site shared a copied version of a Yahoo! LAUNCH article about Joey Fatone’s role in the musical ‘GREASE’. The article claimed that *NSYNC would begin working on their next album in the fall and that Joey Fatone would be chatting with the group’s official fan club on September 15th.
