Agnetha talks ABBA anniversary. Like we said.. something BIG might happen!


Agnetha Fältskog, leadsinger of the Swedish pop band ABBA has hinted of the prospect of a reunion of the legendary group. "Sure, we think about it," the said singer of the group in "Welt am Sonntag"
"In April 2014, it will be 40 years ago that we won with 'Waterloo' the Euro Vision Song Contest in Brighton. There are plans to make something out of this anniversary, but I still do not know what will come of it. Nor do I want to know now so early"

Agnetha was the one in the group  that often made too many hesitation about a reunion in the past, the 63-year-old sais now.

"If such an event would take place, and I knew well in advance, I would break my head over it all the time. It would consume all my energy." Fältskog wants the event just to happen: "Not think about it - just do it." The Swedish pop quartet had dissolved in 1983 and, to date, they have sold more than 380 million records and are in addition to the Beatles the most successful pop formations of all time.



Agnetha, who was recently celebrated her solo album "A" - got acknowledged by critics worldwide -further said that age plays a role. "Yes, time trickles on. We're all getting older," she told the "Welt am Sonntag", "I can not imagine that we would go on stage with crutches." 



In recent years, there has apparently been a rapprochement within the band, which consisted of the two couples Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson. Both couples had divorced in the late seventies and early eighties. "I often dream lately about the other three members of ABBA," Faltskog said, "They are are good dreams. They seem to be part of the process when the ice would melt off somewhere. ABBA is a big part of all of us. Still. "
