ABBA's Agnetha Faltskog, 73, makes solo comeback as she releases brand new music
ABBA singer Agnetha Faltskog has launched her comeback as a solo artist off the back of the success of the Swedish pop group releasing new music.
The chart-mauling group, who shot to fame as part of Eurovision in 1974, delighted fans when they recorded and released the album 'Voyage' in 2021 alongside singles I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down. Yet whilst fans were delighted to see the pop group reform, singer Agnetha has been building a solo career since the band initially split in 1982.
Producing several solo albums across her career, 73-year-old Agnetha has announced she will unveil a new single as a solo artist this week.
