LEGENDARY Swedish pop group Abba could reunite next year to mark the 40th anniversary since it won the Eurovision Song Contest and was catapulted to global stardom, singer Agnetha Faltskog revealed on Sunday.
“Of course it’s something we’re thinking about,” 63-year-old Faltskog told the German weekly Welt Am Sonntag in an interview. “There seem to be plans to do something to mark this anniversary in some way. But I can’t say at this point what will come of them.”
Abba formed in 1972 when Faltskog met guitarist and songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus – whom she later married – and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
Andersson and Lyngstad were also married for a while. Both couples divorced.
The group’s self-penned hit Waterloo won the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton, England, in April 1974, and immediately became a global phenomenon.
With their iconic glam outfits and pioneering music videos, they scored an unprecedented string of worldwide No. 1 hits, such as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and Super Trouper.
