Although NSYNC announced the start of a “temporary hiatus” in early 2002, the band has not recorded new material since then. In 2007, Lance Bass confirmed that the group had “definitely broken up”.

At the time, the singer had told The New York Post that he felt he could be a part of *NSYNC and release his own music. … “There’s no reason my solo career and *NSYNC can’t coexist in the same universe,” he said, per Huffington Post.
