The now 52-year-old pop star, who first rose to fame almost three decades ago, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Many fans may have difficulty recognizing him at first glance with his aged appearance and distinct grey beard. The singer, who has now reunited with his bandmates, was featured in a promotional video for their upcoming album. The footage showed him seated in an empty bathtub, sporting a blue sweater and a tweed flat cap, while his once dark facial hair has turned almost entirely white. It’s an astonishing sight that left many fans doing a double-take to identify him – can you guess who he is?
The man in the video is none other than Justin Jeffre of 98 Degrees. Alongside his bandmates – brothers Nick and Drew Lachey and Jeff Timmons – they have come together once again to work on a new album and perform some of their classic hits. One of their most popular songs, a cover of Mark Wills’ “I Do (Cherish You),” was a major success, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and appearing on the soundtrack of the celebrated British film, “Notting Hill,” starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant. In the music video for the song, Justin was depicted proposing to a woman in a bathtub, a moment that resonated with many fans and has now become a nostalgic reference amid the group’s revival.
Fans of 98 Degrees have been buzzing with excitement over the band’s reunion and the release of their new album, “Full Circle.” After a successful concert in Manila, they are set to embark on a tour across Canada before heading to New Jersey, New York, and California for a series of live shows in August. This resurgence of the boyband has reignited the fervor among their dedicated followers, drawing in fans both old and new who are eager to experience their music once again.
Notably, the members of 98 Degrees all hail from Ohio and were brought together in Los Angeles in the late 90s under the guidance of Jeff. Signed by a record label, the group achieved significant commercial success, boasting eight top 40 singles by the year 2000. Their collaboration with Mariah Carey on the chart-topping hit, “Thank God I Found You,” led to a Grammy Award nomination and cemented their status in the music industry. Despite their temporary split in 2002, the band members pursued individual endeavors, with Nick Lachey marrying Jessica Simpson and appearing on the reality show “Newlyweds,” while Drew Lachey and his wife Leah also became fixtures on the series.
As 98 Degrees makes a triumphant return to the music scene, fans are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to catch the iconic boyband in action once more. With a new album on the horizon and a series of live performances scheduled, Justin Jeffre and his bandmates are set to relive their glory days, bringing back the nostalgia and joy that their music has always evoked among their devoted followers.
