Do the words Joey Fatone mean buzzkill in Italian?

Because the former *NSYNC member just ruined the hopes and dreams of fans hoping the 1990s boy band would reunite at the Super Bowl during Justin Timberlakes halftime show.

Fatone threw cold water on that possibility when talking to TMZ over the weekend outside of Delilah, a swanky West Hollywood nightspot.

Im here, he says in the video below. If I was doing something, Id be in rehearsals, so, obviously, theres your proof nothing!

It should be noted that Fatone was wearing an *NSYNC T-shirt during the interview, so maybe hes not given up the dream just yet.

Still, the no reunion song is a different tune than the one Fatone sang in October when he hinted that *NSYNC could reunite on stage at Super Bowl LII.

To be fair, Fatone qualified things by saying all the pieces would have to fall into place, but promised, if everything worked, Then we do it ... its pretty simple.

Heres the video with the soul-crushing comments:
