Ulvaeus "amazed" by 'Mamma Mia!' success
Bjorn Ulvaeus has revealed that he finds the success of Abba musical Mamma Mia! "absolutely amazing".

Speaking to DS at the National Movie Awards, the Swedish musician said: "It is the most successful musical movie of all time already, which is absolutely amazing - much more than I’d ever thought it would be, so I'm really pleased."

However, despite a resurgent interest in Abba, Ulvaeus insisted that a reunion is not on the cards.

"The love [people] have is for the group they see on the videos and the group they heard or hear from then," he said. "So I wouldn't like to disappoint them."
