ABBA reunite for first public performance in 30 years
The four members of everyone’s favourite Swedish pop group ABBA have reunited onstage for their first public performance together in more than 30 years.
And as you can probably imagine just looking at the pictures in the gallery above, it was a memorable performance that thrilled the crowd in attendance.
The unexpected performance took place at a private gala in Stockholm, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson meeting for the first time. The song-writing duo’s meeting would pave the way for ABBA’s global success.
Towards the end of the evening, ABBA’s female members Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad, took to the stage to perform the group’s 1980 hit Me and I.
To the delight of the small group in attendance, Benny and Björn unexpectedly joined Frida and Agnetha towards the end of the performance, reuniting the group in their first public appearance since splitting at the peak of the fame in the early eighties.
Many believe such a reunion was impossible, even as the group reunited earlier this year to celebrate the opening of a Mamma Mia-themed restaurant in Sweden.
