ABBA reunites on 50th anniversary

Their music is still celebrated by people all over the world. But it has been 30 years since the members of ABBA performed together.

The disco legend joined forces recently as they celebrated the date that Björn Ulvaeus, 71, and Benny Andersson, 69, first met 50 years ago, according to Expressen. To mark five decades of friendship, the pair apparently threw a private party at Berns Salonger in downtown Stockholm. The remaining members of the group Anni-Frid ‘Frida’ Lyngstad, 70, and Agnetha Faltskog, 66, were also at the bash.

The two women are said to have dedicated a performance of their 1980 song Me and I to the men, who then decided to join them on stage and perform with them. It marked the first time the four-piece had all performed together since 1986.

The band broke up in 1982.

The Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls joint tour cancelled

Some time ago, the Backstreet Boys said they were in talks to go on a world tour with the Spice Girls. The rumour quickly went away when a BSB spokesperson said something to the tune of, “Not true, R.I.P. all of your dreams.”

During an interview A.J. McLean said, “From what I’ve heard, they want to do their own tour. I think it’s their 20th anniversary. We’re back in the studio making a brand new album. So everyone’s doing their own thing … maybe it could happen. But as of right now, it’s not happening.

Mel B told Entertainment Tonight that a joint tour with BSB is not the best thing right now. “We want the stage to ourselves if we’re going to do it,” she told ET. “But I love the Backstreet Boys. They’re great.”
