1998...

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?"
