Screaming fans greeted former boy band 'NSync on Monday, just like it was the turn of the last century. It definitely wasn't a "bye, bye, bye" for the group that helped catapult Justin Timberlake to stardom as they were honored with its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
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 US city's major tourist attractions.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE FORMER 'NSYNC MEMBER "These four guys mean so much to me and we're really a family and the memories that we have and the times that we've shared and the families that we've built from it. I don't think I can put into words what the four of you mean to me. Just through hard times, just through unbelievable times, through times we were going 'What the ?' and I just love all of you so much. Don't touch me."
One of the most successful groups of the teen pop era, '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 US record for first week sales for 15 years with 2.41 million sold.
Founded in 1995 in Orlando, Florida, '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.
The band has sold more than 40 million records worldwide.
