Rob Pilatus, dead at 33 (other reports say 32yo, as his birth year, either 1964 or 1965, is disputed)

Formerly half of Milli Vanilli

https://variety.com/1998/music/news/rob-pilatus-dead-at-33-1117469814/

Rob Pilatus, a former model whose career as half the pop music duo Milli Vanilli crashed in disgrace and drug addiction after it was revealed that the group lip-synched its songs, was found dead April 3 in a hotel room near Frankfurt, Germany, after consuming alcohol and pills, according to the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. He was 33.

Just recently announced by Tom Morelo:

The one-day festival will feature special performances from an extraordinary lineup of artists and activists including Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Brittany Howard, Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black (featuring Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yoyoka Soma and Hugo Weiss), Serj Tankian, Cypress Hill, Killer Mike, grandson, The Neighborhood Kids, Taylor Momsen, Matt Cameron, The Linda Lindas, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Tom Morello, alongside artwork and a DJ set by legendary artist Shepard Fairey.

Quite the contrast in talent….

Rolling Stone:

TOM MORELLO ANNOUNCES POWER TO THE PEOPLE FESTIVAL WITH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, FOO FIGHTERS, MORE
The one-day, D.C.-area event taking place in October “celebrates the spirit of activism, creativity, and hope,” Morello says


And this:
The one-day event takes place on Oct. 3 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

Hope that helps

"Two men enter, one man leaves!" Not music, but BLOOD, to celebrate the Emperor and satisfy the appetite of the masses. Oh, wait--we now have ICE to do that.

Now, they can’t afford the bread, and the circus is a bunch of B-listers from 40 years ago.

that they started to run low on viable acts. All they had left were paunchy, arthritic old gladiators, and skinny, toothless lions to feature in the games. The spectators were not amused, and made their displeasure known. Caligula reportedly had the ringleaders executed.

I was very disappointed to see him on the list yesterday.

So glad he clarified the situation and busted right out of there!
