ABBA have revealed they are releasing their first new songs for 40 YEARS in the form of a studio album and will play a 'greatest hits' hologram tour.

Agnetha Fältskog, 71, Björn Ulvaeus, 76, Benny Andersson, 74, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 75, are returning with a revolutionary concert and new album, Voyage.

Björn and Benny were seen arriving in London on Thursday ahead of making the 'historic' announcement, before appearing during a live interview.

ABBA will release their new album November 5, after the legendary Swedish pop group last put out an album in 1981 when they released The Visitors.

The hitmakers have teamed up with an 850-strong team from Industrial Light & Magic -founded by George Lucas – to create digital versions of themselves for the concert, using months of motion-capture and performance techniques.

They should have taken the billion 20+ years ago when it was offered for a tour.

First line ("lede"): ABBA have revealed they are releasing their first new songs for 40 YEARS in the form of a studio album and will play a 'greatest hits' hologram tour.

That should be IN 40 years.

Fail.

I thought they were in their 70s back then. Guess they were “only” in their 50s back then and in their 30s(?!?) when they called it quits in ‘81...?

She would have been born in 1950, I don’t think the experiment would still be going on.

You sure you’re not thinking of Frida, whose father was a German occupier?

Trivia question.

Q: What Swedish group has had the most #1 hits? ( most answer ABBA. They’re wrong )

A: Roxette.

ABBA still holds he title for most sales though.

In Saudi Arabia the town next to us was Abha. Not many proofreaders there as signs for some restaurants and businesses would would show up with ABBA instead of the town name. They put up the signs anyway.

Benny - the world’s most unhappy man - made $$Millions with ABBA - was married to the blond singer - had the world by the behind - but according to recent documentary, he was never happy. What a jerk.

They must have found a way to keep more of the money. On top of all of their taxes Sweden has a 90% tax just on rich people. 900 million of that billion would have went straight to the government. Rush covered this one.
