Bookies Give ABBA Outside Chance of Glastonbury Appearance

Last week, singer Agnetha Fältskog said in an interview she would consider getting back together with her three former bandmates -- at least for one-off gigs.
When the bet was offered on Tuesday (4 January), the bookies' spokesman Rupert Adams said in a statement, "ABBA fans should be very excited. We are now the same price for an ABBA reunion as we were for Take That in January last year and we all know that Robbie is back."So far, William Hill's original odds have yet to change, but two other bets have seen much stronger action. Odds that ABBA will play a London gig in 2011 have fallen from 20/1 to evens -- originally, the firm offered 100/1.
Adams told AOL Music his company had accepted a £100 bet at those odds for the group to play Prince William and Kate Middleton's spring wedding. Meanwhile, odds for ABBA to enjoy a UK No. 1 album this year have slumped from 20/1 to 5/1.

You can not turn the clock back, they split up nearly 30 years ago, and if they reformed it would spoil the memories of them at their peak. Voices age, so they are unlikely to sound the same now, and to be honest if they tried to wear the same clothes they would look ridiculous.
The only reason to reform would be financial, but none of them really need the money. They must be making a fortune from royalities.

Brilliant musicians- just look at Benny on those keyboards! Still going strong today. Talented singers who were nice to look at! I miss them, my daughter was weaned on Abba and also plays their music. Ahhhh.....

Nice thought if Abba reunited but i think the rumours are utter rubbish.Bjorn always said the would never never get back together again.
They have as much chance of getting back together as Queen have with Freddie Mercury,
Just journalists hyped rubbish again!!

Memories !!!, we didn't appreciate what good music was in those days, I would live to see them reform, if only for once.
