Earlier this year, all four members of the 70s pop-wonders ABBA reunited for the opening of Stockholm’s Mamma Mia! The Party. It was a wonderful occasion for fans, showing the members were seemingly on better terms.
Over the weekend, Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad once again reunited, this time performing ABBA songs for the first time in 30 years.
The Swedes were celebrating their 50th anniversary in Stockholm, band members Ulvaeus and Andersson having met on 5 June 1966, forming a friendship that would one day lead to the group’s creation.
Two pictures of the event have been shared on social media, while no video of the performance has yet emerged.
When previously asked whether an ABBA reunion would ever happen, Ulvaeus said it was highly unlikely - yet, with this latest performance, could something be in the works? The last time all four performed music by ABBA together in public was in 1986.
The pop group is one of the most successful acts in the world, their compilation ABBA Gold, released 10 years after their 1982 split, being the second-highest-selling album of all time in the UK. In total, ABBA has sold 380 million records worldwide.
