Ryan Murphy's true-crime anthology series 'The Menendez Murders' has surprisingly revived the 80s pop duo Milli Vanilli. The show features the brothers bonding over the duo's music, leading to a surge in their streaming numbers.
. How did this happen? The Eighties Euro-glitz pop duo are enjoying the year’s weirdest revival, thanks to Ryan Murphy . Histells the true-crime story of the rich Beverly Hills brothers who gunned down their parents in the summer of 1989. They bond over the music of Milli Vanilli , who ruled the radio that summer. Since, the duo’s streaming numbers are booming.
This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, when Milli Vanilli were demonized as everything wrong with pop music. They’re still the only act that’s ever had to return their Grammy. “Did you hear what happened to the award?” Morvan asked me last year. “It’s broken and sitting in the Grammy Museum. They broke it, and put it on a shelf. I thought, ‘Oh my God, they wentFirst things first: absolutely nobody in 1989 thought Rob and Fab were doing the singing. And nobody cared.
They started a group called Empire Bizarre, and devised their look, starting with the hair. But they were very different. Fab was the strong silent type; Rob was the trouble-maker. “People really didn’t like my dude,” Morvan said. “Rob was hurt as a young boy for being a mixed race. It was rare in the environment that he grew up in. So I think that there was a switch, when he became a famous break-dancer—now he wanted to be feared instead of loved.
The night they won their Grammy, a fan came over to congratulate them, but Pilatus scoffed “Later” and walked away. The fan was Paul McCartney.
