THE shock decision by pop legends Abba to reunite after 40 years comes after they finally healed the bitter feuds that drove them apart. The Swedish superstars have knocked back a series of ­money-spinning offers to reform — including a staggering BILLION-DOLLAR deal for a 100-date world tour in 2000.

AFTER 40 years apart, Abba are getting the band back together again.  We told how the Swedish pop quartet are creating digital avatars of themselves in the 70s and 80s to tour virtually.  The Sun revealed “Abba-tars” of Agnetha Fältskog, 71, Björn Ulvaeus, 76, Benny Andersson, 74, and Frida Lyngstad, 75, will perform in a 90-min concert in East London next year.  The band have also released two tracks of upcoming album Voyage. After winning Eurovision in 1974 and selling 380 million albums, the band split amicably in 1982.  Agnetha and Frida attempted solo careers in the aftermath of Abba, while Benny and Björn started to write music for theatre.
