Abba's Agnetha Faltskog signals charity reunion concert

Abba

Swedish supergroup Abba have ignited hopes of a reunion.

The superstars could finally be reuniting after their most reticent member suggested she would finally consider performing again.



Agnetha Faltskog, the youngest of the former chart-toppers at 60, hinted that the band could come together for charity.



The group, who split in 1982, have previously dismissed any suggestion of a reunion. But yesterday the 'Observer' newspaper reported that Faltskog told a Swedish magazine: "I just feel it would be fun to meet, chat about the old days and perhaps perform together.



"We would not get together again for a tour like the Rolling Stones. I think we would all consider a one-off reunion, maybe for a good cause."



The group, including Bjorn Ulvaeus -- Faltskog's ex-husband -- Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, turned down $1bn (€700m) to play a 100-date world tour in 2000.



In July 2008, all four appeared together for the first time in 22 years at the Swedish premiere of the film 'Mamma Mia!'.

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
