"E! NEWS" EXCLUSIVE: Joey Fatone Reveals Where *NSYNC Really Stands on a Reunion Tour

*NSYNC isn't saying bye, bye, bye to the possibility of a tour quite yet.

But as Joey Fatone explained, getting his fellow alums Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass back on the road together for the first time in 20 years is easier said than done.

"The five of us need to get together to have that conversation to say yes or no," he told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "What does it look like? If we're going to do a tour, are we going to do new music?" (For more with Joey, tune into E! News tonight, June 6, at 11 p.m.)

Joey also noted that it might be difficult as they all have separate careers, especially as he himself is set to tour with Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean this summer for their Legendary Nights tour.

"We're on tour, Justin's still on tour," he explained. "Lance has been doing a podcast, JC's been writing, Chris has been doing a radio called Name Drop and also on tour as well. So, once we get that where our heads are in the same bucket."

But the 47-year-old admitted that *NSYNC's reunion would be different than their 2002 Celebrity Tour.

"It's weird because again, like back in the day when we were younger, nobody was married, nobody had kids, but as we got older, we're married, we have kids," Joey reflected. "It takes a different perspective. I think, for us, it's one of those things of going, 'OK, it would be great to tour because then it's going to honestly financially help my kids, let's be real.'"

"But the thing is, for me, do we want to do it?" he continued. "Everybody's older, everybody has different personalities now. How do we deal with that? I'm not saying that it's bad. It's just a matter of making it cohesive."

Joey's update comes over two months after *NSYNC reunited for their first onstage performance since the 2013 VMAs. Justin brought out his pals to perform during his March One Night Only show in Los Angeles, including their new single, "Paradise."

A song, Lance explained ahead of its release, dedicated to the love the band has received from fans over the years.

"This song is truly a love letter to all of our fans who have been our incredible support system," he wrote on Instagram Stories in September. "You guys have always thought that this would happen even when we didn't. I am truly grateful for every single one of you."
