( CNN ) -- Will they or wo n't they ? After reports started swirling that 90s boy band *NSync might be staging a reunion at Sunday 's MTV Music Awards , the Internet went a bit wild in the form of everything from reasons why it HAD to happen to gifs meant to display fans ' reactions . But do n't start tearing up your heart just yet . Band member Lance Bass had something to say about the rumors Tuesday night on his SiriusXM show , `` Dirty Pop with Lance Bass . '' Bass said that in light of the fact that fellow band member ( now solo phenom ) Justin Timberlake is slated to receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the show `` ... of course people are automatically going to think we 're going to be there performing . '' `` We all came down here [ to Miami ] except for J.C. [ Chasez ] , '' Bass said . `` J.C. stayed in California , he had to work ... Joey [ Fatone ] , Chris [ Kirkpatrick ] and myself went to go see Justin 's last show with Jay Z at the [ Sun Life ] Stadium last Friday , and I even took a picture of it , it 's on my Instagram . '' Bass said he believes that 's what kicked off speculation that the group , who went on hiatus in 2002 , would be getting back together . He said he expected the rumors , but has been amazed by how much interest was generated . `` It 's amazing to see the reaction out there on Twitter and social media ... of how many people are supporting 'NSYNC , '' he said . `` It 's so nice to see because when we ended things [ over ] ten years ago , there was no social media , there was no Twitter [ fan base ] , but it 's so cute to see how many people are supporting [ us ] and 'NSYNC was even trending . '' But take heart , fans , because Bass stopped short of a complete denial that a reunion performance might happen . When `` Real Housewife of Miami '' Lea Black , who was on the show , pointed out that `` the fans should start demanding a reunion , '' Bass responded , `` That would be an amazing time . ''
