Rob Pilatus was a German singer and model, best known as one half of the pop duo Milli Vanilli. Born on June 8, 1965, in Frankfurt, Germany, he gained fame in the late 1980s for his striking looks and energetic performances. Milli Vanilli achieved significant commercial success with hits like "Girl You Know It's True," but their career faced a major scandal when it was revealed that they did not sing on their records. This controversy led to the duo losing their Grammy Award in 1990, marking a dramatic fall from grace for Pilatus and his partner, Fab Morvan.
