Nick Lachey Reveals 98 Degrees Kept an 'Age of Consent' Guide on Tour Bus

Nick Lachey says the band kept a state-by-state consent guide on its tour bus to avoid legal trouble on the road.

  • Ahead of the April 13 debut of Boy Band Confidential, 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey revealed that the group kept a manual detailing age-of-consent laws in every state on their tour bus.
  • Label representatives provided the manual to protect the singers, then between 25-27 years old, from potential legal pitfalls while interacting with fans on the road.
  • Debuting on Investigation Discovery on Monday, April 13, and Tuesday, April 14, the series also features stories from members of other iconic groups before streaming on HBO Max.
  • Lachey contrasted past industry expectations with today, noting that modern artists like Shawn Mendes receive support to prioritize mental health, whereas his group was encouraged to push through regardless of circumstances.
  • Executive produced by NSYNC's Joey Fatone, the series explores life inside the 'boy band bubble' through interviews with stars including Lance Bass, AJ McLean, and O-Town's Ashley Parker Angel.
