Iconic pop group ABBA announces new music after 35-year hiatus

Agnetha, Bj'rn, Benny and Anni-Frid are all set to make a comeback after a 35-year hiatus.

ABBA, the Swedish pop group, took to Instagram and wrote, "The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence. We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did. And it was like time had stood still and that we only had been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyful experience! It resulted in two new songs and one of them "I still have faith in you" will be performed by our digital selves in a TV special produced by NBC and the BBC aimed for broadcasting in December. We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good."

NEW ABBA MUSIC IS COMING AND EVERYTHING IS RIGHT

ABBA were the first band I ever loved. I was not wrong. People who love ABBA for kitsch reasons: they're wrong. People who hate ABBA because they perceive them as kitsch: also wrong. ABBA stand above it all, like the stylised mountains on the inner sleeve of Greatest Hits Vol 2.

The band has given major hits like 'Dancing Queen,' 'Mamma Mia,' 'The Winner Takes It All' and many others.

The group, which split in 1982, reportedly turned down a $1 billion offer to reunite in 2000.
