Timberlake reunited with Lance Bass, JC Chasez,
Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick along Hollywood Boulevard for
the unveiling of the emblematic terrazzo and brass star that is
one of the city's major tourist attractions.
"We're really a family," Timberlake, 37, said, addressing the
crowd.
"I don't really think I could put into words how much the four
of you mean to me. ... I just love all of you so much," he
added.
One of the most successful groups of the teen pop era that also
launched the careers of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, 'NSync
was greeted with adoring screams and a spontaneous sing-a-long
to hit "Tearin' Up My Heart."
The band's second album, 2000's "No Strings Attached," held the
U.S. record for first week sales with 2.41 million for 15 years.
Spectators chanted "reunite" and "sing" during the ceremony.
'NSync last released an album of new music in 2001 and performed
together full time in 2002. They last performed together at the
2013 MTV Music Video Awards.
Bass, who revealed he was gay in 2006, spoke about how he feared
for the group's success if he came out.
"I wanted to so badly let you know I was you; I just didn't have
the strength then," Bass said.
'NSync has sold more than 40 million records worldwide. They
were founded in 1995 in Orlando, Florida.
