Lance Bass’ kids “freak out” when they hear NSYNC’s new single.
The 44-year-old singer – who has two-year-old twins Violet and Alexander with husband Michael Turchin – admitted that reuniting with his former bandmates to record ‘Better Place’ for ‘Trolls Band Together’ was “unexpected”, and although he is disappointed not to have been able to perform it live for fans, he is pleased with the reaction of his own household.
He told People magazine: “It’s very special. It was unexpected to do a song this year. It’s been incredible. Unfortunately, we’re not able to promote it or perform it, which is a bummer.
“But it’s so great to be able to have something out there for my kids to enjoy..
“I never thought they would ever be able to see Dad on stage or hear a new song on the radio.
“So when we’re in the car and the song comes on and ‘Better Place’ plays, they freak out and they go ‘Ah!’ And they know it’s Baba on the radio.
“It’s special to me that they can hear it and see what dad is doing. And who knows? Hopefully in the future we’ll get to give them a little more.”
Lance is also excited about the upcoming Christmas season because having children makes the holiday season much more “magical”.
He said: “Holidays are so much better with kids. I’m a holiday freak, I live for the holidays.
“And the last few years it can be a bit disappointing. Christmas comes and goes and you’re like, ‘Oh, I didn’t really get to do the things I really wanted to.’
“But now, with kids, you really put in the effort and you see the holidays with fresh eyes. You get to do the traditions that you had to do when you were a kid, and it just makes you so happy to see them so happy
“The holidays are just so much more magical these days. I love keeping a lot of the traditions that I grew up with, but I like trying to find our own traditions, which has been fun to naturally evolve and Spoon.”
