All four members of pop supergroup ABBA appeared together on Friday at the Swedish premiere of the film “Mamma Mia!,” delighting fans with their first public showing for years. “Mamma Mia!” the musical, is touring worldwide and features 22 ABBA songs, including “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “The Winner Takes It All.”
Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad — known as Frida — and Agnetha Faltskog walked down the red carpet at a Stockholm movie theatre to the cheers of several thousand fans. However Bjorn seemed a little camera shy and wasn’t photographed with his fellow band members.
The foursome, who shot to fame when they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and sold more than 370 million records world wide, last performed together in public in 1986. They were once reported to have been offered $1 billion to reunite for a concert tour, although there were reports they sang together at a private birthday party for a friend in 1999.
At the film premiere, Agnetha and Frida embraced with actress Meryl Streep, posing for pictures before the three did a dance together. Moments later, all four band members appeared on the theatre balcony.
They stood together with Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and other members of the Mamma Mia! cast.
