Bass continued to explain that while it's difficult to get all the guys together, they will all be there to receive their star "hopefully maybe around Christmas time." He also says Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and himself are still close pals. "I would have to shoot you if you saw the stuff we wrote to each other," Bass joked. "We bag on each other all day long. We find pictures on Instagram of us from the '90s and so we're always giving it to each other."

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Timberlake revealed the real reason he left the group. "It started as a fun snowball fight that was becoming an avalanche. And, also, I was growing out of it," he said. "I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. And I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart."

*NSYNC took an indefinite "hiatus" in 2002, where JT and JC both embarked on solo careers. The last time the group reunited was at the 2013 MTV VMAs, when they joined Timberlake onstage for his Video Vanguard performance. Last August, the crew got together for JC's 40th birthday and it was adorable.
