Mamma Mia! ABBA Reunites for Film Premiere
2008-07-05
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Don't pull out the polyester and platforms just yet, folks. It was just for a movie premiere. For the first time in 22 years, all four ex-members of ABBA appeared together at the Swedish premiere of Mamma Mia!, starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth. The Swedish pop/disco quartet -- Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog -- didn't perform but throngs of fans went wild at the sight of all four together again in Stockholm. They were joined on the red carpet and theater balcony by the stars of the soon-to-be released film. Mamma Mia! is a big screen adaptation of a highly successful musical featuring ABBA's biggest hits, including "Dancing Queen," "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me." The foursome shot to fame in the mid-70s and performed together publicly for the last time in 1986. In 2000, they turned down $1 billion to reunite for a concert tour.
