April 2: Rob Pilatus was found
dead in a Germany hotel room on April 3rd.
Early reports stated a mix of alcohol and
pills may be related to his death. Pilatus,
who was 32, had a self-admitted history of
problems with substance abuse, depression and
suicide ideation. Pilatus, also a former
model and dancer, was found alone in the
hotel room according to a German newspaper
which also had comments from Milli Vanilli's
former manager/producer Frank Farian:
"I'm totally shocked. Rob looked really
good again after his therapy, and was full of
optimism... we didn't know.. that he was
taking tablets that are very dangerous with
alcohol." The other half of Milli
Vanilli, Fabrice Morvan, stated: "I am
feeling tremendous pain and sorrow upon
hearing the news of my friend and brother
Rob. He will always be a part of me. I will
deeply miss Rob forever... Milli Vanilli was
not a disgrace. The only disgrace is how Rob
died... all alone, internally destroyed from
the rapid rise then sudden fall. Where were
the ones that pushed us to the top who made
millions?"
