Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan says music was his salvation following the pop band's very public fall from grace — but today he hopes a special collaboration will help him come full circle. 

In 1990, news broke that Morvan and his bandmate Rob Pilatus lip-synched their performances. After selling millions of records, packing arenas and winning a Grammy, the young duo plummeted from superstardom to notoriety. 

Twenty-five years after the fallout, Morvan joins Shad to discuss Face Meets Voice — his new project with John Davis, the artist who originally sang his Milli Vanilli vocals.

He also reflects on why he was able to move forward while his late bandmate spiraled, and shares his thoughts on the normalcy of artifice in pop music today.
