Rumors had been circulating that top artists we used to watch on TRL, such as Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Destiny's Child, were set to perform at the upcoming halftime show. Sadly, it doesn't look like that will be a reality.
From TMZ:
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... despite rumors that the 3 iconic musical bands of the past will join forces for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, it's just not the case.
We're told the groups haven't been approached to perform, and no conversations are going down to turn it into reality.
The internet's been going nuts after rumors spread about *NSYNC and Destiny's Child being slated to perform at next year's big game ... and the dream expanded to include the Backstreet Boys.
The nostalgia train has really taken off since *NSYNC reunited at the MTV VMAs and got back in the booth to record the first song in decades for the new 'Trolls' flick.
TMZ broke the story, *NSYNC has no plans to start a tour, residency, or album despite speculation, but that doesn't mean the Super Bowl is off the table, right? Wrong.
That's a real shame! Having all those groups that many of us grew up with would have been a real sight to see, but unfortunately, it's pretty unlikely to happen at this time.
Now, whoever they choose to perform will definitely be a huge letdown.
