Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording
One of the most infamous names in music history steps forward to reclaim the truth behind the legend, in a raw exploration of the price of fame, the despair born of worldwide humiliation, and the unseen toll of chasing acceptance in a world built on illusion.
You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli is the untold story of Fab Morvan, one half of the Grammy-winning pop duo Milli Vanilli, the group that skyrocketed to global superstardom before being consumed by one of the most explosive scandals in music history. For decades, Fab’s story was told by others. Now, for the first time, he tells it himself.
From his childhood in Paris to becoming an international icon alongside Rob Pilatus, Fab lived one of the most dramatic and surreal rises the music world has ever witnessed. At the height of fame, with chart-topping singles and screaming fans worldwide, everything imploded. The scandal. The shame. The silence. And the loss of a friend.
Behind the flash was a young man still searching for the validation he never received. When it all came crashing down, Fab thought surviving public disgrace would be the hardest chapter. But it was what followed that demanded the most: grief, identity loss, and the aching truth that being seen does not always mean being loved.
Fab believed that surviving the public collapse was the hardest part, but that was only the beginning.
