Band members Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass will all be at the unveiling. Chasez was born and raised in Bowie.
The boy band was formed in the mid 1990s, and released four albums during their seven year run. Though the group went on hiatus in 2002, they reunited for a performance at the 2013 Video Music Awards.
And when Chasez earns his star, he’ll be in good company. Many other locals have real estate on the Walk of Fame.
