Benny Andersson: Last News

ABBA sing about their failed marriages on their final ever album, which is their first in 40 years. The record, titled Voyage, is out Friday and features a string of references to the bittersweet relationships between Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus, who were married from 1971 to 1980, and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, who wed in 1978 and divorced in 1981.

Two men have died after one of them fell from the seventh floor in a building in Sweden and landed on the second man, according to police.

ABBA have only just announced their comeback but it seems they won’t be sticking around for too long.

ABBA have said they will retire after releasing their new album ‘VOYAGE’ and completing its accompanying live shows next year.The Swedish pop icons will release their first studio album in 40 years next week (November 5), ahead of a series of “revolutionary” concerts in London in 2022.Instead of the band members themselves performing, the gigs will see a “digital” version of the group take to the stage at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in May.Speaking to the Guardian, the band’s Benny Andersson noted that he “never said myself that ABBA was never going to happen again”, referring to an interview on Noel Edmonds’ Late Late Breakfast Show in 1982. “But I can tell you now: this is it,” he added.

ABBA have confirmed that they will be retiring for good after they release their ninth album Voyage next month.The album is due to be released on 5 November and is the group’s first new material in 40 years after they called it a day in 1982.All ten songs featured on the album are composed by ABBA’s songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus who said they are “absolutely trend-blind”.Meaning that they have ignored the trends in pop music over the decades in an attempt to capture ABBA’S original vibe and signature sound that their fans fell in love with them for.Sadly for fans, Benny recently confirmed "this is it, it's got to be," meaning that despite their previous disbandment in 1982, the group will not reform again.The group, who shot

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIn the decades after ABBA — one of the most popular and influential groups in the history of the world — announced their breakup in 1983, journalists grew so tired of receiving the same skeptical answers about the group reuniting that they largely stopped asking. Which made it all the more surprising in 2018 when the group’s co-founders, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, confirmed that they had reunited with singers (and ex-wives) Agentha Falkskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and recorded two new songs and were preparing some kind of virtual concert experience.

ABBA have seemingly confirmed that their new album Voyage will be their last. 

Here we go again as iconic pop group ABBA has released more music from their eagerly-anticipated new studio album Voyage.

Mark Sutherland The reunited ABBA — who announced a new album and virtual concert earlier this month — are building a special venue in London to host the “immersive digital concert experience,” which will see singers Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and instrumentalists/songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus performing digitally via avatars with a live 10-piece band in a purpose-built arena in London, beginning on May 27, 2022. Variety caught up with producers Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson as preliminary rehearsals started in London for the ground-breaking show.“Every day brings a new set of nightmarish problems but we overcome them!” quips Andersson.

Klaxons, has revealed his role in helping ABBA form their ten-piece reunion band.Righton – who recently dropped a new single of his own, the Soulwax-assisted ‘Release Party’ – shared the tidbit on Instagram over the weekend, posting a photo of himself and ABBA member Benny Andersson working together in a Swedish studio.“I had an incredible/fun/magical/surreal time helping Benny and Bjorn find the 10 piece band for the reunion,” he wrote in the photo’s caption. “I can safely say that the musicians chosen and the band that has been formed is the best group of musicians I’ve ever heard play together in a room.

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.
