A Backstreet Boys and * NSYNC crossover? Is it a dream?
On Wednesday June 2, Nick Carter, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone hosted an Instagram Live where they announced they were working on a project with AJ McLean. Formerly rival boy groups come together in honor of Pride Month.
“Since it’s pride month, I guess we can kind of tease something. What we’re talking about doing… we can’t say too much, ”Carter teased. “So basically, Lance, Joey, myself, AJ maybe, we’re just going to say we’re going to do something special.” We will announce it next week.
Carter promised it was going to be “huge” and that they were “really excited”.
“We’re doing it for Pride, which will be really good,” added Bass.
“It’s one of those things where all the pride is really close and dear to our hearts,” Fatone added. “We all live in the entertainment community where there is a lot of LGBTQ and we accept that.”
Bass talked about being in the closet during his boy group days and not being able to “tell my truth.” He said he wished he could have come out sooner and added: “I wish I could go back and change everything.”
Fatone, Bass and Carter briefly addressed their former manager Lou Pearlman who opposed them. They expressed how deeply they bonded with each other after going through this together.
“The rivalry was fun. It was fun having your team, but sometimes it goes a bit too far, ”Bass admitted. “I think right now this world is very volatile and divided.”
Aside from this unnamed project, Bass and Carter worked on a cryptocurrency business called Tsuki Saves the World. Their goal is to use the currency to do something bigger.
