Stripped of Award
In 1990, the Best New Artist trophy was revoked from Milli Vanilli for their 1989 win after it was discovered that neither member of the duo actually sang on their album. It remains the only incident where a Grammy had ever been stripped from a winner.New York Times: Wages of Silence: Milli Vanilli Loses Grammy Award (November 20, 1990)Selected Previous Winners
