When NSYNC members Justin Timberlake and Joey Fatone decided they wanted to visit Alcatraz, the “Sexy Back” singer told The Ellen DeGeneres Show that they asked the San Francisco fire department to give them a lift to the island prison. However, the singers didn’t realize they needed to buy tickets to take part in the tour.
“So, we get to the main gate and they’re like, ‘Tickets, please,'” Timberlake recalled. “I was, like, ‘The guy behind me has the tickets.'” He said they “ended up … sneaking in” and made their “way into one of the tour groups.” However, their scheme wasn’t successful. “By the time we got halfway through [the tour] and we had just gotten to Al Capone’s cell, I get, like, a tap on the shoulder and they’re like, ‘Come with me.'”
While the singers were luckily let go with just a warning, Timberlake did admit that he told his bandmate, “Joe, we are gonna go down in history as the dumbest people ever. We got caught breaking into a prison.”
