This came just days after the 59-year-old former pop star - who was in the act with the late Rob Pilatus - made his return to the Grammy Awards 35 years after the pop duo were stripped of their Best New Artist gong.

Back in November 1990, the Recording Academy revoked the trophy in 1990 when the truth that the two had lip synched their performances was revealed by record executive Frank Farian.

On Fab's latest outing, he looked as dashing and fit as ever as he sported an all black look including T-Shirt, ripped jeans, and checkered Vans sneakers.

His braided locks were put up in a bun as his skin still had quite a youthful glow on it.

Morvan carried along a massive black backpack as he sported wayfarer shades while enjoying the skateboard ride in LA.

Just days ago he made his triumphant return to the Grammy Awards after a 36-year hiatus.

He was also up for a gramophone trophy decades after being stripped of one as he was nominated in the Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording Award for a reading of memoir You Know It's True: The Real Story Of Milli Vanilli.

At the event he donned a stunning gold, black, and red jumpsuit with cape as he looked as stylish ever for his big return.

In 1988 Fab and German-born Pilatus were signed by a record producer for a three album deal which saw them win the hearts of millions through their smooth tunes and dance moves.

But two years later a huge scandal emerged after it was discovered the pair were simply hired for their pinup looks and had lip synched their performances.

The fraud worked as Milli Vanilli became a global sensation scoring three No. 1 hits in the US and winning the best new artist Grammy before the Recording Academy revoked the trophy in 1990 when the truth was revealed by record executive Frank Farian. 

The aftermath saw Fab and Rob stripped of their Grammy and become disgraced in the industry which once adored them. 

Pilatus later died of a drug overdose in 1988.
