That’s right! Zephrying thirty-five years after being half of the first and only act to have a Grammy Award revoked, Fab Morvan of Milli Vanilli has landed a second Grammy nomination.
He’s being recognized at the 2026 Grammy Awards in the category of Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording for his powerful memoir: “You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli.”
If this isn’t a true “Back 2 The Future” hot topic segment, then we don’t know what is. Bravo-bravissimo to Fab Morvan.
Let’s rewind: Milli Vanilli, the red-hot pop duo of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, was crowned Best New Artist on Feb. 21, 1990, beating out Neneh Cherry, Indigo Girls, Soul II Soul, and Tone Loc.
The award was presented by legendary songwriter Kris Kristofferson and rapper Young M.C., who also won a Grammy that night for Best Rap Performance for his hit “Bust a Move.”
Now, decades later, Fab returns not with a track—but with truth, reflection, and storytelling that’s earned him a seat back at the table.
We’ll be watching closely come February 1, 2026, when the GRAMMYs return to Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. Will Fab Morvan finally reclaim his place in Recording Academy history—this time, with a win rooted in truth and storytelling? The stakes are high in the Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording category, where Fab’s memoir You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli goes head-to-head with a powerful lineup of contenders:
- Trevor Noah – Into the Uncut Grass
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson – Lovely One
- Barbra Streisand – My Name Is Barbra
- Molly Shannon – Hello, Molly!
- Fab Morvan – You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli
Whether it’s redemption, recognition, or simply resonance—we’ll be tuned in to see if Fab’s voice finally gets its Grammy moment.
