Active again?

[edit]

The group has been billed for a Freedom 250 festival. I think it would be safe to mark the group as active again.[1] ~2026-12901-52 (talk) 17:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC) ~2026-12901-52 (talk) 17:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have doubts, given that one member of the duo has been dead for some time now. DonIago (talk) 18:23, 27 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Lots of bands either replace dead members, by getting someone else to play the same instrument, or continue with one fewer musician. (The Who are a famous example.) ~~ Vicki Rosenzweig (talk) 02:10, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Granted. Is there a source to establish that that's happened in this case? DonIago (talk) 03:05, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Lots of media has quotes from the Rocco sisters, such as https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/28/trump-concert-series-musicians-drop-out, regarding the festival ... Whether or not Freedom 250 festival should be covered here aside, I was confused reading the articles about it as this article apparently doesn't cover that Morvan is apparently touring, but the Rocco sisters are also touring, separately, also as "Milli Vanilli". This article barely mentions the sisters. -- ferret (talk) 15:01, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Morvan is the legal owner of the Mili Vanilli name and therefore presumably is legally entitled to perform under that name. Source: Stereogum Popcornfud (talk) 15:14, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I didn't suggest he didn't. It just appears the article has some large omissions regarding the sisters and multiple incarnations of the group concurrently touring separately. -- ferret (talk) 15:28, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I didn't mean to suggest you suggested he didn't. :) I meant this is where the confusion in the reporting seems to have arisen regarding exactly who's performing at the show next month.
I never found enough coverage out there to justify adding more detail about the Rocco sisters, but if you have more sources we can use, throw em my way. I can't find anything about them apparently being on tour at the moment, but I haven't searched super-hard. Popcornfud (talk) 15:34, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
If it turns out there is enough coverage, that would beg the question of whether we restructure this article, or create a separate article for them. I imagine it may depend on the amount and quality of coverage, but as I've never seen this kind of situation before, I'm not sure whether there's a precedent for how we handle articles in such a scenario.

Well, there's already a separate article for The Moment of Truth (The Real Milli Vanilli album), which is the album the Rocco sisters (and the other original vocalists) released as the Real Milli Vanilli. The Real Milli Vanilli redirects to that page. Popcornfud (talk) 16:20, 29 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Looks like the article's been updated to mention that MV will not be performing at the festival in question. DonIago (talk) 01:14, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
