It’s as close as we’re going to get to an NSYNC or Backstreet Boys reunion tour for now.
Page Six has exclusively learned that NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean are going on tour together. An insider told us the duo will hit the road in March and they’ll be singing the hits of both bands.
“They’ll be singing all of their hits, and different genres of music – pop and rock,” the source said.
This isn’t the first time the friends of 20-plus years have performed together. They took the stage last fall in Tampa, Fla., as part of “Joey Fatone & Friends’ Welcome to Tampa 90s’ Party.” We’re told they got the idea to take the show on the road after performing their hits and fun covers at the sold-out event.
“They’ve been friends for so long. They’re both girl-dads and they can relate to each other with the careers they have had and continue to have,” a source said of pop star’s bond.

McLean has continued to tour with the Backstreet Boys, but NSYNC fans have been longing for a return to the stage since they disbanded in 2002 and Justin Timberlake went solo.

Fatone reunited with Timberlake and his bandmates, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick, for the first time in ten years at the MTV Video Music Awards last September. He and Bass performed the band’s songs “Bye, Bye, Bye” and “Tearin’ Up My Heart,” at the Bilt Rewards winter holiday party in December.
Bass hinted at an NSYNC reunion in an interview with Bilt Rewards CEO and founder Ankur Jain.

“Look, we are talking about it — and I hope to have some good news, at some point,” he said.
Jain pushed for a Jan. 1 announcement to which Bass responded, “Give us a little more time than that.”
Well, Fatone will have a heads start on the others come March.
Reps for the boybanders did not comment.
