At 78, Benny Anderson Finally Breaks Silence on Why ABBA Will NEVER Reunite

In a moment that thrilled ABBA fans worldwide, Benny Andersson, now 78, has finally revealed the long-awaited news that has been the subject of fan speculation for years. Speaking in a recent exclusive interview from Stockholm, the legendary songwriter and producer opened up about ABBA’s future, reflecting on their incredible journey and sharing a surprising revelation that sent shockwaves through the music world.

For decades, ABBA fans have wondered if there was more music hidden away, unreleased gems waiting to see the light of day. Now, Benny has confirmed that the group does, in fact, have a secret vault of unreleased songs—many of which have never been heard by the public. “We always recorded more than we released,” Benny admitted. “Some tracks didn’t fit the albums, or the timing wasn’t right, but they are there — finished and untouched for decades.”

This revelation comes after the massive success of ABBA Voyage, their 2021 comeback project that saw the group release new songs after 40 years and launch a revolutionary digital concert in London. Fans thought Voyage was the final chapter, but Benny’s announcement suggests the ABBA story may not be over just yet.

Benny explained that the group has been quietly revisiting their archives, listening to forgotten recordings from the late 1970s and early 1980s. “It’s emotional, going back and hearing us as we were back then,” Benny said. “Some of it sounds fresh, some of it sounds like time capsules, but it’s ABBA — pure, unfiltered ABBA.”

While Benny stopped short of promising a full new album, he hinted that these unheard songs could be released in a special edition project or anniversary collection. “Fans have stayed with us for five decades. They deserve to hear these songs. I think it’s time,” he said with a smile.

This news comes at a time when ABBA’s influence remains as strong as ever. From the Mamma Mia! musicals to the continued success of Voyage, the group’s music continues to connect with new generations. Benny acknowledged the enduring love for ABBA, saying, “It’s humbling. We never imagined the songs we wrote in a small studio in Stockholm would still mean so much to people all over the world.”

Benny also shared a personal reflection on ABBA’s journey. “At this age, you reflect more,” he admitted. “ABBA wasn’t just a band, it was a life-changing experience for all of us. We had love, heartbreak, success, and friendship — all captured in music.”

Fans around the world reacted with joy and excitement, flooding social media with hopes of hearing these “lost” songs soon. The idea of more ABBA music — even after all these years — feels like an unexpected gift to many.

As Benny Andersson celebrates 78 years of life and music, his bombshell announcement is a reminder that ABBA’s magic is far from finished. The timeless sound of ABBA may soon echo once again, bringing joy to millions of fans worldwide.
