Benny Andersson Finally SHOCKS Fans With The Secrets Behind ABBA Voyage
In a candid and surprising new interview, ABBA’s legendary composer and keyboardist Benny Andersson has finally revealed some of the hidden truths and behind-the-scenes secrets about the making of the groundbreaking ABBA Voyage project — and fans around the world are stunned.
Since its 2021 debut, the ABBA Voyage show has become a global phenomenon, bringing the magic of ABBA back to life through state-of-the-art technology, digital avatars, and a live concert experience like no other. While fans have marveled at the incredible visuals and the chance to see ABBA “perform” again after more than four decades, few knew just how much emotion, effort, and risk went into creating the spectacle. Now, Benny is pulling back the curtain.
In the emotional interview, Benny admitted, “At first, we thought it was impossible. We had no idea if people would accept the idea of digital ABBA. We were terrified it would look silly or fake.” The project, which took more than five years to develop, used cutting-edge motion capture technology, with the four members of ABBA — Benny, Björn, Agnetha, and Frida — spending months in studios wearing high-tech suits to capture their movements.
Benny confessed one of the biggest secrets: “There were days when we felt we were too old for this. The physical process of filming, rehearsing, and performing with the motion capture technology was exhausting. But the team at Industrial Light & Magic encouraged us, and the results were far beyond what we could have dreamed.”
One of the most shocking details Benny revealed was that there were moments when the project was nearly canceled. “There were disagreements,” Benny said. “Creative clashes, technical setbacks, and the constant question of: is this really ABBA? We wanted it to feel real, emotional — not just a gimmick.”
Another surprising revelation was the band’s emotional response to seeing their digital younger selves for the first time. “The first time we saw the final version of the ABBAtars, Frida cried. We were all moved. It was like stepping into a time machine, but it wasn’t just nostalgia — it was alive.”
Benny also admitted that they secretly recorded more new songs than fans expected. “Voyage only had 10 songs, but there were more written. Not everything was released,” he said with a smile, sparking fan hopes for future surprises.
In the end, Benny shared that the greatest reward was seeing how ABBA Voyage brought people of all ages together. “We’ve seen grandparents, parents, and teenagers all dancing in the same hall. That is the power of ABBA — and it’s why this project was worth every challenge.”
With these new revelations, fans feel even closer to ABBA’s remarkable comeback story. Benny Andersson’s honesty proves that ABBA Voyage wasn’t just about technology — it was about heart, determination, and timeless music that continues to unite the world.
