Nick Lachey's Shocking Boy Band Secret Revealed

In an upcoming Investigation Discovery documentary, Nick Lachey shares an eyebrow-raising detail from his time in the boy band 98 Degrees. The group, which included his brother Drew Lachey, signed with Motown Records in 1997. When they began touring two years later, the label provided the band members with a book detailing the age-of-consent laws for each U.S. state.

This surprising manual was reportedly kept on the 98 Degrees tour bus. Lachey claimed the book was intended to protect the group, stating, "Unfortunately, there were people out there looking to tear you down." This revelation comes as fans also recall instances of extreme fan behavior, with Jeff Timmons noting that fans would sometimes sneak onto their tour bus unnoticed.
