Abba to reunite/tour?
Jan 4^th, 2011 at 9:22pm

There is talk about it. Doubt it will happen though. But if it does, the gays and middle aged, fat assed chicks who dance around their handbags at suburban discos will make it the most lucrative tour ever. I know they are not as massive in the U.S. as they were in Oz (who broke the band!) or Europe, but if it does happen, watch the Stones/U2 scattering to tour again, as their ticket gross records will be smashed!

Though personally, i think Abba might just do a 1 off massive show.

If the money is big, I'm sure they will reunite, by the way both Sid Vicious & Glen matlock were big Abba fans, & even "Pretty Vacant" was copied from the chorus of "SOS"
Glen Matlock has admitted that the chorus is ripped off from ABBA's "SOS". Sing along to hear it:

"Oh we're so pretty, oh so pretty - we're vay-cunt!"
"So when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me, SOS"

"Glen was a closet ABBA fan, and funny enough, so was Sid. We got rid of one ABBA fan and got another in its place." - John Lydon

Brilliant song at any rate, hooky and sing-along-worthy but still in your face.

THEY TURNED DOWN $1 BILLION DOLLARS TO DO 100 SHOWS IN 2000 .AND MICHAEL COHL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
ABBA ROCKED.

The money on offer has always been big - they reportedly turned down $1 BILLION for a 100-date tour in 2000.

Agnetha Faltskog choosing to remain a recluse for well over 20 years has been the main stumbling block. Reports are that she may be coming round to the idea.
