“I was not blindsided by the breakup,” Joey told Yahoo Entertainment. “I was more blindsided as far as him coming out with music and not knowing that he was going to go and do an actual album/tour thing.”
“It was more of, ‘Hey, I’m going to do some music, and then we’ll get back together,’” he added.
“And it wasn’t him,” Joey continued. “It was the record company … When you’re younger, you think it’s that person. But then you look at the whole bigger scheme of things, and you go, ‘Oh, that’s why I wasn’t there for that.’ That’s the business.”
Joey says he never resented Justin for his success as a solo artist.
NSYNC just released their first song as a group in 20 years!
