ABBA to Reunite for Digital 'Entertainment Experience'

by Associated Press

   NEW YORK --

   The members of ABBA will reunite for a new form of digital
   "entertainment experience" next year.

   The iconic Swedish pop band made the announcement Wednesday, but didn't
   offer much detail. They said they would be teaming up with Universal
   Music Group and entertainment mogul Simon Fuller ("American Idol,"
   Spice Girls) to "create an original entertainment experience ... that
   will enable a new generation of fans to see, hear and feel ABBA in a
   way previously unimagined."

   ABBA consists of Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus and
   Anni-Frid Lyngstad. They formed in Stockholm in 1972 and last performed
   together 35 years ago. The four members made a rare joint appearance in
   January for the opening of a Stockholm restaurant inspired by the
   "Mamma Mia!" musical.

   ABBA's hits include "Dancing Queen" and "Take a Chance on Me."
