It’s not quite the reunion that fans had been hoping for, but the members of ABBA — Agnetha Faltskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Bjorn Ulvaeus, and Benny Andersson— have agreed to let computerized versions of themselves appear on a televised tribute later this year.

Bjorn Ulvaeus told AFP: “It’s a kind of ABBA tribute show, but the centerpiece. . . will be something I call ‘Abbatars.’ It is digital versions of ABBA, from 1979. It’s the first time it’s ever been done. . . With videos and lip-synching, they’ll create digital copies of us.”
ABBA unofficially disbanded in 1982, and has never regrouped. In 2000, they declined a $1 billion offer to reunite for a tour. They continue to be one of the best selling acts in the world and still manage to sell around 3,500 albums globally per day.
