It’s Gonna Be May! NSYNC celebrate Hollywood Walk of Fame star
The popular boyband were presented with their honour by Ellen DeGeneres and Carson Daly.
American talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has congratulated boyband NSYNC on receiving their Hollywood Walk of Fame star, joking they got it “without a vowel”.
DeGeneres tweeted: “Congratulations, @NSYNC! You got a star on the Walk of Fame! All without a vowel. Congratulations!”
The five-piece band – consisting of Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick – were honoured in Los Angeles, with their accolade presented to them by DeGeneres and TV host Carson Daly.
He said: “I thought if I had come out, NSYNC would be over. So out of fear I kept my secret.”
He went on to say he “didn’t have the strength then. But I do today and so let me say loud and proud to all my LGBT brothers and sisters, who embrace me and show me the way to be who I am, thank you so much”.
In a video posted by American website Variety, Chasez drew screams from the crowd as he said into the microphone: “By the way, in case any of you didn’t know tomorrow, it’s gonna be May!”
Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood joined NSYNC fans in posting the meme.
