In a new interview, Fab Morvan, one-half of the disgraced duo Milli Vanilli, reveals the truth behind their Grammy revocation and their attempt to return the award.

AceShowbiz - More than three decades after their scandal rocked the music industry, Milli Vanilli is experiencing a resurgence thanks to their inclusion in "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story". Fab Morvan, surviving member of the group, has opened up about the controversy and the misconceptions surrounding it.

On February 21, 1990, Milli Vanilli won Best New Artist at the Grammys, but it was later discovered that they had lip-synched throughout their records and live shows. The Recording Academy promptly rescinded their award.

However, Morvan claims that during a 1990 press conference, he and his partner Rob Pilatus had intended to voluntarily return the trophy. He says the media spread the false narrative that the Grammys had forcibly reclaimed it from them.

"We did it to say, 'We know we were wrong, and we came here to let you know, Hey, we want to give this Grammy back,'" Morvan explained. "That's what we wanted, because we didn't think we deserved it, and it didn't feel like it belonged in our house."

Despite attempts to salvage their reputation, Pilatus died of a drug overdose in 1998. Morvan continued his career but faced ongoing criticism. However, thanks to recent projects like Monsters and a documentary, Morvan is seeing a renewed interest in his music and style.

"Now I feel like I've got a chance to go into a new and exciting story," he said. "A new chapter, and people are slowly starting to read it. I've been working on that chapter for a long time."

Morvan's revelation sheds new light on the Milli Vanilli scandal and the aftermath that followed. It is a reminder that even in the face of public condemnation, the truth often has a way of emerging.
