UPDATE: Lance Bass clarified via Twitter before the show that there would be no 'N Sync reunion on the "Saturday Night Live" 40th anniversary special. Still, many hopeful fans watched the entire show and were left bitterly disappointed. Members of the band did attend the big event.

Read the original story below.

"'Together again... Gee, it's good to be together again' #SNL40," the tweet read.

Rolling Stone and Huffington Post could not confirm the reunion rumors. E!, however, claimed that a "SNL" representative said 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys will attend the special, which airs at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
