10 Crazy Last-Minute Changes To Famous Music Videos
10. Pop - *NSYNC
Complex dance routines became an integral part of NSYNC’s image and if you were a superfan, you’d attempt to learn every single one of them.
Things become a little bit tricky if one of the band members can’t perform, which is exactly what happened to Joey Fatone. Two days before filming the video for Pop, Fatone injured his leg while rehearsing for the PopOdyssey tour in New Orleans. The injury was so bad because his knee and calf was trapped between a heavy platform underneath the stage, causing bruising and a hole in his legs.
Choreographer Wade Robson had to fill in for the dance parts of the video and with the help of modern technology, Fatone’s face was placed on to Robson’s body and the substitution went unnoticed. As for the non-dance scenes, he powered through it despite being in agony, and on crutches when cameras weren't rolling. What a trooper!
