Björn Ulvaeus has revealed that his iconic Swedish pop group ABBA will 'definitely' release new music this year.
The singer-songwriter, 76, told The Herald Sun that the band has been meeting in Stockholm to discuss their reunion.
'There will be new music this year, that is definite, it's not a case anymore of it might happen, it will happen,' he said on Saturday.
Björn - who is joined by Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyndstad in the chart-topping group - added that the foursome have returned to the studio to record new material.
'We're really, really good friends,' the performer told the paper.
'The four of us stand in the studio for the first time in 40 years and there's just something in knowing what we've been through.'
The Waterloo hitmaker added: 'It's hard to describe, but there are such strong, strong bonds between us'.
Last year, it was revealed that ABBA, who released their last studio album, The Visitors, in 1981, are set to release five new songs in 2021.
The Swedish quartet announced in 2018 they were planning to record new tracks for the first time in 35 years, and it has now been confirmed that they have more songs than originally planned.
Despite the news, ABBA have had to delay the releases, which includes I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down, as well as their ABBAtar hologram tour, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Waterloo group went their separate ways in 1982 at the height of their career, and during their final years Bjorn divorced bandmate Agnetha whilst Benny and Frida split up, too.
They performed together for the first time in decades in 2016 at a private event, which marked the 50th anniversary of the first meeting between songwriters Bjorn and Benny.
