Abba: We won't sing together again

Former Abba members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson have said the band will never sing together again.

The pair have been giving interviews to promote the movie version of musical Mamma Mia! and appeared with Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog for the first time in several years at the weekend.

However, Ulvaeus told the Sunday Telegraph that there was "no motivation" to reform, saying: "We would like people to remember us as we were, young, exuberant and full of ambition.

"I remember Robert Plant saying Led Zeppelin were a covers band now because they cover all their own stuff. I think that hit the nail on the head."
