Joey Fatone reveals how *NSYNC hiatus led to financial struggles

Joey Fatone is getting honest about the financial struggles he faced after his *NSYNC band took an indefinite break

In a new doc, titled Boy Band Confidential: A Hollywood Demons Event, the singer and dancer dished on the difficult situation he faced after the boyband suudenly announced a hiatus

"There was never a conversation, per se. There was never a good bye. There was never anything," he said in the ID's docuseries.

One of the major steps Fatone had to take was to leave the house he proudly bought and move back in with parent as he could not afford the maintenance of his house.

The performer told People, "Talking about possibly going bankrupt myself and going down that path, when you had millions of dollars... to almost have nothing, it's like, what do you do? Do you go off the deep end, like some people have, and go to addiction to try to get your body numb and not think about it? Or do you get the positive attitude and go, 'You know what? I can do it.' "

"I went from performing in stadiums to, a year later, two years later, doing Broadway and then, all of a sudden, when things go down, I'm doing The Price Is Right at Bally's, a live show in front of maybe 100 people."

Though the situation was difficult, Fatone focused on things which can keep him "optimistic" in the time of total uncertainty.

"I love performing and I loved hosting. Honestly, me and [fellow executive producer, Joe Mulvihill] have always talked about this. I've always just had a positive attitude, no matter what happens. You just have to think and realize there's always light at the other side, in some way, shape or form," he revealed.

"You may not get there right away. It may not happen overnight, but you will get there. Like I said in the doc, living with my parents with a wife and two kids and not knowing when I'm actually going to get out and into my own place and have some normalcy... it was kind of taken away, with not knowing financial things and what I was doing," Fatone added.
