Timberlake went on to launch an enormously successful solo career with the albums ‘Justified’ and ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’. He also branched out into acting with roles in films including The Social Network and Bad Teacher.
Looking back at the end of N Sync with The Hollywood Reporter, Timberlake recalled: “We were on a stadium tour, and I just felt like the whole thing was too big. It started as a fun snowball fight that was becoming an avalanche. And, also, I was growing out of it.”
He added: “I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart.”
Although N Sync have never fully reformed, Timberlake’s former boyband bandmates did have a mini-reunion at band member JC Chasez’s 40th birthday last year.
