Leaves N’Sync

Timberlake leaves the band to pursue a solo career, after the popular boy band sells over 50 million albums worldwide between 1997 and 2001. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Timberlake explains his decision:

I would wake up every morning feeling this more and more of an urge to step out on my own and try my own hand as a musician just by myself… It was hard to say goodbye to that era, but I felt it changing. I felt music changing. And I felt myself changing.

It’s one of the best/worst things that I have ever done. It was hard to say goodbye to that era, but I felt it changing. I felt music changing. And I felt myself changing.
