ABBA reunite for the final time at Voyage concert launch in London alongside Kylie and Kate Moss

ABBA were together again in public for the first time in 40 years yesterday.

The Swedish stars gathered to say thank you for the music on the first night of their virtual concerts.

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.
