ABBA are ending their recording career with new album ‘Voyage’.
The group reunited last month to announce their brand new album, out November 5, and the ABBA Voyage concert experience, which opens in London next spring.
While the comeback saw the band return to the top of the charts in their native Sweden and back in the UK Top 10, the new music is to be their last.
Despite revealing there are two songs that didn’t make it onto the album, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus confirmed they will remain unfinished.
Benny told The Guardian: “This is it… It’s got to be, you know.
“I didn’t actually say that, ‘This is it’ in 1982,” he adds of the group’s initial separation. “I never said myself that ABBA was never going to happen again. But I can tell you now: this is it.”
Agnetha Fältskog recently cast doubt on the future of the group, telling Swedish radio: “I don’t really dare to say… We’re a bit older now and have our minor ailments. We struggle on. But I don’t dare say, because it’s a bit uncertain.”
Following the global announcement of new music from the Swedish supergroup, ‘Voyage’ broke Universal Music UK’s record for the biggest ever album pre-order, racking over 80,000 UK sales to date.
‘Voyage’ is available to pre-order now on CD, vinyl and cassette.
