ABBA‘s Anni-Frid Lyngstad made a surprise appearance at last night’s ABBA Voyage show in east London.The “revolutionary” concert series began in May at the purpose-built ABBA Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
It sees digital versions of the Swedish pop icons perform a hits-filled set, backed by a 10-piece live band.Following the finale of yesterday’s edition (September 15), an announcer made an unexpected revelation over the PA. “You have been in the presence this evening of Frida,” they said, “who sends her best wishes to you all.”The crowd then began cheering as they spotted the singer waving from her seat.
