*NSYNC members get nostalgic about their peak boy band days on 'Hot Ones'

When 90s boy band *NSYNC were at the height of their fame, their tour bus was followed by a "stampede" of fans on one specific occasion, Justin Timberlake recalled while appearing on Thursday's episode of "Hot Ones" with the group.

He described how he and his bandmates - Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone - watched this group of fans follow their bus through a giant field that had a hole in the middle of it - into which they all fell.

"I felt terrible," Timberlake said, adding that on a separate occasion, the *NSYNC fandom was so wild that they returned to their hotel suite to find a fan had somehow snuck in.

The anecdotes were just a few that the recently-reunited boy band reminisced about while appearing on Season 22 of the famed hot wing interview show - including Timberlake mentioning how he did in fact get a "note" from a producer to pronounce "me" like "may" in their 2000 hit song "It's Gonna Be Me."

The pronunciation of the word spawned a viral meme over 10 years ago, and continues to circulate on social media in late April when it, indeed, is "gonna be May."

*NSYNC's appearance on "Hot Ones" follows the news from earlier this month that the original five members got back together to record their new track "Take You to a Better Place" for the upcoming "Trolls Band Together" movie.

It's the first song they're releasing as a group in over 20 years.
