Milli Vanilli: The Industry's Deadliest Lie and the Fall of Rob Pilatus

Описание: In 1989, Milli Vanilli was the biggest pop act on the planet, but they didn't sing a single note on their records. While the world branded Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan as frauds, the real architects of the lie walked away with millions.
In this episode of Faded Legends, we perform a forensic deep dive into the rise and tragic collapse of Rob and Fab. Beyond the shoulder pads and the waist-length braids lies a story of two broke, hungry outsiders who signed a "deal with the devil." We deconstruct the machinery of a music business where image was king and reality was negotiable. This isn't just a scandal; it’s a post-mortem on how the industry extracts brilliance from the vulnerable and leaves them to hold the bag.
