ABBA drummer Ola Brunkert has passed away, aged 61.
The session musician was found outside his home in Majorca, Spain yesterday. Police are not treating his death as suspicious.
It is believed that Brunkert damaged his neck after smashing his head through a window, shortly before collapsing in his garden.
Brunkert guested on every ABBA album and toured with the group during the '70s and '80s.
ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus told Sweden's Expressen newspaper: "I remember him as a good friend.
"He was a very creative musician who contributed a lot when we toured together and worked in the studio."
