When:

Short story:

On behalf of manufactured pop duo Milli Vanilli, the first of 24 lawyers’ letters are sent to producer Frank Farian, asking that the duo be allowed to sing on its next album.

Full article:

Rob Pilatus (Milli Vanilli) : He blackmailed us from the start. He would not allow us to enter the studio. Then he said the new album was already cut with other singers and it was too late. So we forced the issue. He’s a white German guy who has a big complex about black artists. He did it with Boney M and he did it with us. He’s a control freak.

Frank Farian (producer) : Terrible lies. I know Rob’s father and mother, very honourable people. They adopted him from a children’s home. He wants sympathy. He was a clerk in a department store, a normal German teenager.
