ABBA's Agnetha Faltskog talks potential reunion
D.I.S.H.
Meanwhile, betting house takes 10-1 odds ABBA will record new material in the next year
After decades of speculation, it looks like Swedish pop group ABBA may consider reuniting, but only for a good cause.
Singer Agnetha Faltskog told M Magazine that while she has not discussed reforming the band with her ex-husband Bjorn Ulvaeus, Annie-Frid Prinzessin Reuss von Plauen and Benny Andersson, she is open to the idea.
She says, 'A reunion, an occasional opportunity, maybe in connection with a charity event, I believe we could consider it. We would not reunite for a tour like the Rolling Stones and other old bands do now.
'However, I could see us doing something together in the future. It is just a feeling I have that it would be fun to get together, talk a bit about the past and maybe perform together.'
UK betting house Ladbrokes is currently offering 10-to-1 odds on ABBA recording a new studio album with new songs in 2011. It is also offering 66-to-1 odds of the group performing live at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in April of this year.
ABBA, who last performed together in 1982, has maintained their popularity through the hit musical Mamma Mia!.
In 2000 the group was reportedly offered a huge sum of money to perform a number of concerts. According to ABBA-World.net, the initial news story cited the offer at 1 billion SEK [[Swedish kronor), equivalent of roughly US$140,000,000. ABBA-world says broken telephone-style media reporting had it inflated to 1 billion US dollars [[almost 9 billion SEK) by the following day — and it was this number that was reported by international wire services.
