*NSYNC reunites to receive star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

The boy band – that comprised Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick – made a rare appearance at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard for the event.

The honour comes in the anniversary year of the group's first album '*N Sync' they released in 1997. Famous for single hits such as "Bye Bye Bye", "I Want You Back", "This I Promise You" and "Girlfriend", their LP 'No Strings Attached' also sold 2.4 million albums in its first week. In 2015, Adele shattered the record with her '25'.

Timberlake, who was present along with wife actor Jessica Biel, thanked the audience for turning up in droves.

"This is so surreal. You guys are the best fans in the world... These four guys mean so much to me. We're really a family and the memories that we have and the times that we've shared and the families that we've built from it... I don't think I could really put into words how much the four of you mean to me," he said.

Kirkpatrick also gave a shout-out to his six-month-old son. "Nash, you got some of the best uncles on the planet here," he said. The band spilt in 2003 after announcing their hiatus in 2002.
