"It's all me, a smiling Morvan says. I co-wrote the book with Parisa Rose, a journalist with the Los Angeles Tribune, and throughout I have been as truthful as I can possibly be. Truth and lies feature through Morvan's memoir: as half of Milli Vanilli he enjoyed pop stardom while living a lie, before being skewered by those demanding the truth. Almost everyone aged over 45 will probably have some memory of Milli Vanilli, so popular were they between October 1988 and November 1990:"
"with three US No 1s, and more than 37m singles and albums sold in 1989 alone, they were positioned alongside Michael Jackson, George Michael and Madonna as pop's most popular performers. We choreographed everything, and danced until our shoes were full of blood If 1989 was Milli Vanilli's annus mirabilis then 1990 proved their annus horribilis: after their producer/svengali Frank Farian admitted they were non-singing performers. The duo were cancelled in today's terms Grammy rescinded, recording contract denuded, intense media and public opprobrium."
Fabrice 'Fab' Morvan narrates his memoir You Know It's True, which he co-wrote with Parisa Rose, and the recording received a 2026 Grammy nomination for best audiobook narration and storytelling. The memoir centers on truth and lies as Morvan recounts achieving pop stardom with Milli Vanilli while not singing on recordings, then facing exposure. Milli Vanilli dominated charts between 1988 and 1990 with three US No 1s and some 37 million sales in 1989. The 1990 revelation by producer Frank Farian led to a rescinded Grammy, cancelled career, lawsuits, intense media opprobrium and public hatred, leaving Morvan to reflect on the traumatic fallout.
