If you wanted to see NSYNC perform on the site of U.S. Bank Stadium, you'll need to have caught them back when they played the Metrodome in 2001. Band member Joey Fatone says there are no plans for an NSYNC reunion during Justin Timberlake’s headlining set at halftime of Super Bowl LII.

"If I was doing something, I'd be at rehearsals right now," Fatone told TMZ. "So obviously, there's your proof." He also speculated that Timberlake won't be enlisting Janet Jackson to join him at halftime, despite widespread demands from fans. "He's not that kind of person," said Fatone. "He's not controversial like that." (Billboard)

Drummer Dave Holland dies

Drummer Dave Holland has died at age 69. He played with Judas Priest from 1979 to 1989. "Despite his actions since working with the band," wrote Judas Priest in a statement, "his time with us was amongst the most productive and successful in the band's career and for that alone he shall be missed."

The reference to "actions since working with the band" alludes to Holland's conviction on charges of attempted rape and indecent assault against a 17-year-old male drum student. In 2004, he was sentenced to serve eight years in prison. (Billboard)
