Earlier this month, millions of pop music fans were ecstatic when they heard the rumors that former ’90s boy band 98 Degrees was reuniting for a tour this summer.
Unfortunately, said rumors were quickly shot down by band member and soon-to-be-father Nick Lachey, who on Twitter wrote, “So psyched to see all the excitement for a 98 degree tour, but the only tour I’ll be doing this summer is at baby’s ‘r us.” (Nick and his wife, Vanessa Lachey, are expecting their first child together this year.)So, what exactly happened to the tour? In an exclusive Q&A with Celebuzz, founder and creator of 98 Degrees Jeff Timmons gave us a little insight, during which he admitted that any future plans for a tour seem unlikely at this point.
“I honestly don’t think it’s gonna happen at all now,” Timmons said, candidly. “If it wasn’t gonna happen now, it wasn’t gonna happen last year … Maybe it’ll never happen.”
“We had gotten serious about it,” he said, of the proposed summer tour. “So much so that a tour was being put together for us; a 15-city tour. We got on the phone, all of the guys discussed it, and it seemed like a go. And then not everybody wanted to do it, for various reasons. We make decisions collectively as a group; not one person make decisions. [Since] not all four of us were on the same page, we decided not to do it.”
Did Nick’s baby have anything to do with the boy band not reuniting? Not entirely, Timmons, 38, says.
“I know that it had come out that it was due possibly to Nick having a baby. I’m sure that played a small part into it, but I don’t think that was the main reason we didn’t get back together. I think that it was a number of things.”
