But they confirmed the state-of-the-art shows would be their final project.
Benny Andersson said: “Why is everyone asking if there will be more?
“We’re doing something after 40 years — we made an album, an arena and we worked five-and-a-half years to achieve something.
“And you ask, ‘Will there be more?’ No.”
Benny, 75, Agnetha Fältskog, 72, Björn Ulvaeus, 77, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 76, appeared teary as they appeared alongside their Abba Voyage avatars in Stratford, East London.

Agnetha said: “It’s an emotional evening for us. It’s amazing to see all the English fans here — and from all over the world.
“The warmth they have here is amazing.”
The last time the group were together in the UK was an interview on Noel Edmonds’ The Late Late Breakfast Show in 1982.
Stars including Kylie Minogue, 53, Myleene Klass, 44, Penny Lancaster, 51, and Kate Moss, 48, were at last night’s show.
Shows, featuring Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen, run until December.

Mind-blowing
By Howell Davies
GENERATIONS will never get to see Abba perform — but this mind-blowing spectacle will make millions believe they have.
The four members rise onto the stage for opening number The Visitors and it feels like they’re really in front of you — every twirl, grin and shimmy.
And ridiculously, they even have banter on stage.
Benny’s avatar joked: “So this is how it feels to be Doctor Who.” Fernando is performed under the Northern Lights and Summer Night City inside pyramids in space.
It’s an overwhelming bonanza in the best possible way.
It is surreal, but these avatars are the greatest impersonators in music history — but the true heart and soul of Abba remains.
