Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the last few days Justin Timberlake’s name has been everywhere thanks to one surprisingly dramatic development: his former NSYNC bandmates are deep in talks to reunite for a 30th anniversary tour, but potentially without Justin onboard. TMZ’s headline grabbed attention when they revealed that Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick have been pursuing a massive stadium and arena deal, with promoters like Live Nation and AEG convinced the foursome could sell out big venues—even without Timberlake. The absence is glaring, especially considering the speculation that having Justin back would instantly push the buzz and ticket sales into stadium-level territory. The remaining band members seem hopeful Timberlake might eventually reconsider, but insiders say he has not engaged at all, and this disengagement started long before the recent revelations about his Lyme disease[TMZ]. Fans who remember the group’s surprise joint appearance at the MTV VMAs in 2023, the Trolls soundtrack outing, and the group showing up on Timberlake’s own LA concert last year, know how much appetite there is for a true reunion. Social media accounts for NSYNC and the individual members are filled with fans debating whether Justin is going to step out on his own again or finally capitulate to the call of nostalgia and big money. According to entertainment outlets like ET Online and WEAR-TV, the idea of NSYNC’s original frontman skipping out on the reunion has millennials—who famously lost their minds over the group’s tracks like Bye Bye Bye and It’s Gonna Be Me—feeling anxious. The very fact that these rumors have eclipsed Timberlake’s last album and any solo activity underscores their biographical weight for both him and NSYNC.

Beyond reunion drama, Timberlake’s business activity made headlines after he quietly offloaded his eco-friendly Mirimichi golf course near Memphis for just $500,000 despite originally purchasing and renovating the property for over $16 million. Local Memphis business coverage called it “a billboard-sized hit,” though most national outlets pointed out Timberlake’s financial foundation remains robust, despite this loss. The sale has triggered some joking chatter about Justin’s investment luck on Instagram and Twitter, but no credible reports suggest any real financial hardship.

Musically, nothing major has dropped from Timberlake in the last few days, and no confirmed concert appearances or new music have been announced. The only rumored sighting involved a supposed studio visit earlier in the week, but until a reputable outlet publishes photos or official confirmation, that remains speculation.

Industry headlines also remind us that Justin’s entire publishing catalogue—including hits structured with Timbaland—remains under the control of Hipgnosis Songs Fund, which has been the subject of numerous business stories lately as it faces an international restructuring under Sony and Universal. This background business news carries some long-term implications for Timberlake’s earning power and creative control, but with his contract expiring in 2025, nothing actionable or dramatic has been reported this week.

Finally, Timberlake’s trademark public banter with Jimmy Fallon earlier this year still has fans sharing viral repeats of their History of Rap segment, but Justin himself has not surfaced with any major new social posts or TV appearances since that surprise re-air. In summary, the NSYNC tour dilemma is unquestionably the biggest story for Justin Timberlake this week, overshadowing everything from business headlines to any fleeting whispers about solo music, and the question of his participation—and the ongoing speculation over why—may prove to be a pivotal chapter for both his career legacy and that of NSYNC.
