Biography

About

Born 15 November 1945 in a Norwegian village to a Norwegian mother and a German father, Anni-Frid Lyngstad grew up across the border in Torshälla, Sweden. She became a founding member and lead singer of ABBA, the group that included her second husband Benny Andersson and went on to become one of the best-selling music acts in history. After ABBA dissolved, she pursued a solo career that never quite matched the heights, then stepped away from music altogether.

The international press are trying to create some sort of hysteria around ABBA that doesn't exist. They are trying to make a myth out of us.
