Lance Bass, who literally grew up as part of one of the biggest bands in the world, tells all about his life, his music, and his sexuality in this candid, compelling autobiography.

At sixteen, Lance Bass received a phone call from Justin Timberlake that would change his life forever. Soon after, he left his small-town home in Clinton, Mississippi, to join an emerging musical group called *NSYNC. Two years later *NSYNC was inspiring Beatles-esque mania around the world, becoming the face of the new MTV generation, and earning the all-time record for most album sales in a single day (more than one million) and in a single week for No Strings Attached.

He's remained in the spotlight ever since, and here he talks in depth for the first time about his childhood, his astonishing experiences as a young man and Christian growing up in one of the biggest bands in the world, his shock and frustration at the band's eventual dissolution, and his subsequent career, including his four months in Russia, training to become a cosmonaut.

He also frankly discusses life as a gay man—his first same-sex relationship at twenty-one, his struggle to keep his sexuality hidden from *NSYNC's fans in case it jeopardized the band's success, and the true circumstances that led to his decision to publicly come out at the age of twenty-seven.

Full of fascinating behind-the-scenes lore and revealing insights from a pop star who, until now, has been notoriously private, Out of Sync is the book that millions of fans have been waiting for.

fantastic book!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

as a huge fan of nsync, and a lover of rock n roll biographies, i was definitely interested to see what lance wanted to say. some fans will think he didn't tell enough...but, to each his own. he revealed what he wanted to reveal.

back to the book: lance talks about his previous singing projects before nsync (he was in a few other groups) when out of the blue, a young justin timberlake called and asked if he wanted to join a new group in florida? and with that...changed music history!!

so, to all the nsync fans or anyone who loves reading real-life rock n roll biographies (i always think the artist themselves writing the book is almost always better than an anonymous writer writing it!) this book is a very interesting read. and to lance: best of luck with your own group!! and yes, i would also love to see nsync get back together...for old time's sake LOL! thanks again for all the great nsync memories :)

Loved it, have read it twice already

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2008

Verified Purchase

I read every word, twice. Loved it and sent a note thanking Lance for sharing his story with us. It was great to read about NSYNC's rise to the top of the charts from one of the members themselves. I had never heard any of the details of his trip to Russia and the failed mission and heard even less about his stories of living as a gay man in a very hetero society and line of work. It's a quick read, Lance is pretty funny in a dark way, humble and personable, and shockingly honest without divulging dirt on other people. I especially enjoyed the symbolism-- Lance's life and experiences appear to have meant the world to him. I'm happy he opened up and shared them with us.

Mildly entertaining, refreshing memoir of a boy-bander.

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2007

Verified Purchase

It's not everyone who can pitch an autobiography book at age 28, but, then again, not many people have had (past tense) the degree of fame and success Lass Bass has experienced in his relatively short life thus far. Best known as one fifth of the mega-popular pop singing group known as *NSYNC about a decade ago, but more recently known for his attempts to become a Russian cosmonaut and his public "coming out" as gay on the cover of People magazine, Lance Bass has already led a rather extraordinary life, justifying such a memoir.

If you are looking for gossip about other band members, pithy comments about his "exes" (including Reichen Lehmkuhl, who has also dated several other gay semi-celebrities), details about the alleged pedophile leanings of *NSYNC's mentor/manager Lou Pearlman, or "Running With Scissor"-like rants about being tormented by a dysfunctional childhood, you'd be very disappointed by this book. Lance plays it as bland as his public persona, talks about his supportive family and childhood in small town Mississippi, his early touring in amateur musical showcases, the lucky call that resulted in his being offered to join *NSYNC, the band's initial exposure and success in Europe, subsequent orchestrated debut in the US, his relationships with his four bandmates, later arguments over financial arrangements, and the itch to pursue solo careers that eventually led to the end of the band. He talks about the fact that, although he knew he was gay at an early age, he never acted on his feelings until in his early 20's, and how this led to a gradual coming out starting at that point. You can feel his enthusiasm in his difficult training to achieve a lifelong dream, going into space, and his frustration when the efforts fall short of an actual flight. Although essentially a chronological report of his teen and early adult years, the writing style seems to ramble a bit from topic to topic, and often veers off on tangents, perhaps mimicing Bass' style in real life. The advertised (apx.) 200 pages are a bit generous, as the print is large (with wide margins) on smaller than usual pages, which would come out to maybe 150 pages in a more standard format. But it is a reasonably entertaining, light bit of fluff with I did enjoy, and recommend as such. Four stars out of five.

Great he did it, yet... ...more like a pamphlet

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2007

Verified Purchase

Seems like it's hard to believe out of all the experiences he had this "summary" is really the story. Seemed more like a conversation on an airplane than a thoughtful examination of ones experience. Needed a better writer assisting him.

With that said it's great he did it. That he came out and wrote about his life an experiences. Every gay person alive should buy this book for that reason alone. Five stars for that reason also.

If you like him, the band, or pop stardom you'll probably like it.

Lance Bass- not juicy enough

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2009

Verified Purchase

It was a ok read. I read it in one night. I was really looking for something juicy. It was interesting that someone FINALLY confirmed that Nsync did in fact break up, not just a break.
Seems Justin Timberlake saw the spotlight and realized that it was time for him to leave. Such a shame though, Nsync was a great group.

Quick read, not hard to follow. Lance gives a very interesting testament to the boyband explosion of the late 90s/early 2000s. Any fan should read.

I read this hoping for a bit of background, unseen information about the beginning of `NSYNC, but came away with so much more. This was an honest, heartfelt read. I liked finding out more about Lance`s journey to become a cosmonaut. I would recommend this book to fans and non fans alike.
