NSYNC performed live together for the first time in more than ten years this week when Justin Timberlake brought his former bandmates onto the stage at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles to perform. The group sang the new song Paradise, which is set to feature on JT's new album, Everything I Thought It Was.
But the iconic boyband couldn't have got together without performing some of their biggest hits, so fans were treated to the songs, Bye Bye Bye, It's Gonna Be Me and Girlfriend. The show was in promotion for Justin's new album which also includes his new songs Jealous and Drown. The new record is out on Friday.
