Bass, who has just spilled the fact that he's gay, tells People he hesitated to come out during his time with NSYNC, saying "I knew that I was in this popular band, and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said (that I was gay), it would overpower everything."
