The Milli Vanilli scandal ended in disaster for the two men fronting the project, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan. By the time the truth of who actually provided vocals for the group was public knowledge, the pair's musical careers had imploded, and even though they attempted a comeback under the name Rob & Fab in the early 1990s, their record sold poorly, and Pilatus tragically died of an overdose on April 3, 1998, prior to going on what would have been the duo's comeback tour.

Frank Fabian, however, had his previous band, Boney M, to fall back on. Though he had been accused of withholding money from his performers and being exploitative, he retained the intellectual property that had made him rich. In recent years, he has cashed in on the Boney M discography with a lucrative stage show, "Daddy Cool," a jukebox musical based on their music, which has played to audiences in London in 2006, Berlin in 2007, and other European cities since.
