Mamma Mia: ABBA members reunited for the first time in 30 years!
The Swedish band ABBA gained worldwide popularity after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with the song Waterloo. Then there were the immortal hits Mamma Mia, Money, Money, Money, Dancing Queen and Happy New Year. This music is still very popular all over the world.

The members of the disco group united again on June 5, 2016 at the celebration of the anniversary of the first meeting of 71-year-old Bjorn Ulvaeus and 69-year-old Benny Andersson: they met 50 years ago.
To celebrate five decades of their friendship, Bjorn and Benny hosted a private party at a club in Stockholm. The other members of the collective, 70-year-old Anni-Frid Lingstad and 66-year-old Agnetha Feltskog, were also invited to the celebration.
The female half of the group dedicated the performance of the song Me and I to men, and in response they decided to join Anna-Frid and Agneta on stage and sing a few songs with them.
Thus, the ABBA members performed together for the first time since 1986.
The ABBA group broke up in 1982, and the last time the members were seen together at the opening of the party "Mamma mia!" in January. Bjorn and Agnetha were married from 1971 to 1980, and Benny and Frida managed to live in a marriage for two years before they divorced in 1980.
