1. Accidental cuts to the neck?

That's strange.

2. They Should Have Taken That Reunion Offer While They Had The Chance

Didn't someone offer them an unbelievable amount of money, to do a reunion tour?

Guess that's now gone the way of any Beatles reunion.

4. 1 billion

if I remember correctly. What a shame he died.

6. That's not much of a carrot. All of Abba's members are Billionaires.

They took the money that they earned from their records and tours. They invested it in emerging new companies like Apple and Microsoft Etc. Now they are all billionaires.

5. He wasn't one of the 4 people that everyone thinks of ...

when they think of ABBA.



They were Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Fältskog

So don't worry, the reunion is still a possibility :)

(my wife is a huge ABBA fan, it's not me, really)
