ABBA Reunites???

The Swedish pop quartet Abba plan to get together after 25 years on Friday for the premier of the film Mamma Mia! in Stockholm.

But the four will be attending the screening of the Hollywood version of the Abba hit-musical starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan as members of the audience.

A spokesperson for film distributer UIP told the Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper that ex-Abba singer and songwriter Benny Andersson, 61, and Bjorn Ulvaeus, 63, wanted to appear alongside Singer Anni-Frid Reuss-Lyngstad, 62 and Agnetha Faltskog, 58 at the gala premiere.

Streep and Brosnan wanted the film, which has already premiered in London and Berlin, to also premiere in Abba's home country.

Because of Faltskog's reclusive lifestyle, the reunion was still not certain.

In 2004, the singer pulled out at the last minute of a performance to mark the 30 years since the group's won Eurovision Song contest in Bristol with the hit Waterloo.

Former ABBA star BENNY ANDERSSON hopes the Swedish band will one day get back together - for a private rendition of all their hits.
The singer/songwriter doubts the pop group - which broke up in 1982 - will ever appear together on stage again, but he is convinced that one day they will be able to enjoy a reunion out of the glare of the public eye.
He says, "We never sing our stuff together. But I do think we should secretly get together and sing all our songs that we ever recorded, the four of us, with a bottle of champagne and no one else."
