Swedish supergroup ABBA, one of the world's most successful bands, reunite for their first new album in 40 years and said they would stage a series of virtual concerts in London next year
Fans piled online to celebrate the long-awaited reunion of one of the world's most successful bands. "2021 has been saved by new ABBA music," @elliemiles23 said in one widely shared Twitter post.
The recording went smoothly, co-songwriter Bjorn Ulvaeus said. "It all came rushing back in a matter of seconds." The "abbatars" were created using motion capture technology - similar to that used to create Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" movies series - and will show members of the band as they looked in 1979.Former Abba member Benny Andersson and his wife Mona Norklit arrive for the premiere of "Mamma Mia! The Party" at Tyrol restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, January 20, 2016.
They sold more than 385 million albums and topped charts from Australia to America with a string of hits including "Waterloo", "The Winner Takes It All" and "Take A Chance On Me".
