The actress has been cast in the second instalment of the ABBA music-filled franchise, playing a young version of Meryl Streep's character Donna in the sequel to the 2008 original.
Lily revealed she'd broken her toe in an Instagram post on Thursday (23Nov17), sharing a snap of her foot encased in a large boot while she celebrated Thanksgiving.
Now, movie insiders allege the 28-year-old's injury has delayed shooting on the new flick.
"Poor Lily tripped really badly and stubbed her toe, breaking her foot in the process," a source told Mail Online. "They were due to shoot most of the dancing scenes this week, so Lily's have all been delayed."
Although a body double can be used for some scenes, producers will have to wait for Lily's foot to heal before they shoot the bulk of scenes with her in.
Jeremy Irvine, Cher, and Andy Garcia have also joined the cast of the sequel, while Meryl, Amanda Seyfried, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan are among the returning actors.
And ABBA star Bjorn Ulvaeus has landed another Mamma Mia! cameo after portraying a Greek god in the original movie. This time around he'll reportedly play a schoolteacher in the movie's opening song, When I Kissed The Teacher, though fans will have to be on high alert to spot his appearance.
"He doesn't want anything to overshadow the main stars or detract from the storyline but for a personal thrill, he loves the idea of being briefly on screen again," an insider recently divulged to The Sun.
"Fans will have to be very eagle-eyed to spot him."

La vida de lujo de Agnetha - Abba-Agnethas lyxliv i det tysta

Abba-Agnethas lyxliv i det tysta



Det går bra för de forna Abba-medlemmarna, som fortsätter håva in miljoner år efter år.
Agnetha Fältskog har tillgångar på 85 miljoner kronor, och har de senaste tio åren dragit in 51 miljoner kronor i sitt bolag - efter skatt.
– Vi unnar oss bra bostäder, har Agnetha Fältskog sagt om sitt lyxliv.

Det har hunnit gå 35 år sedan svenska supersuccén Abba tackade för sig, och splittrades efter tio år av världsdominans i musikbranschen. Men trots det så har stjärnorna kunnat hålla liv i sina förmögenheter.
Medan Benny Andersson och Björn Ulvaeus har hållit sig i rampljuset, med projekt som "Mamma mia"-musikalen, filmen med samma namn och Benny Anderssons orkester, så har sångerskan Agnetha Fältskog hållit sig undan kändisskapet - men tjänar fortfarande miljontals kronor varje år.
Under 2016 tjänade Agnetha Fältskog 6,07 miljoner kronor, och hennes bolag Agnteha Fältskog produktion AB har tillgångar på över 85 miljoner kronor. Det är en ökning på fem miljoner kronor jämfört med 2015, och har de senaste tio åren dragit in 51 miljoner kronor efter skatt.
Men pengarna verkar inte vara det viktigaste i Agnetha Fältskogs liv, som hellre prioriterar att få sova bra och umgås med sin familj.
– Lyx är att få vara frisk. Det är det som räknas. Att man får sova. Sover jag inte mår jag jättedåligt. Vi unnar oss bra bostäder. Att få egen tid hemma med sina barn och barnbarn är också lyx, har Agnetha Fältskog sagt i radioprogrammet "Elfving möter".

Agnetha Fältskog äger två bostäder i Sverige helt själv - ett hus på Ekerö i Stockholm, och ett hus i skånska Båstad. Egendomen på Ekerö, där Agnetha Fältskog har varit folkbokförd sedan 1989, är taxerat till 19 981 000 kronor.
Agnetha Fältskogs semesterhus i Båstad är taxerat till 4.491.000 kronor, och är 235 kvadratmeter stort, med två kvadratkilometer stor tomtmark.
Eftersom musikerna Benny Andersson och Björn Ulvaeus står som upphovsmän på nästan alla Abbas låtar, så får sångerskorna Agnetha Fältskog, 67, och Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 71, inga pengar för nyinspelningar av bandets låtar. Men det betyder inte att Fältskog och Lyngstad står lottlösa – de båda artisterna får fortfarande artistroyalties varje gång Abbas musik spelas ute i världen, något som bidrar till deras förmögenheter.
Agnetha Fältskog har dessutom släppt flera soloskivor sedan Abba lade ner. 2004 kom skivan "My colouring book", och så sent som 2013 kom det senaste albumet "A". Fältskog har också släppt flertalet samlingsalbum med sin musik genom åren.

Benny Andersson reveal the big change that make ageing easier

ABBA’s Benny Andersson reveal the big change that make ageing easier




STARTS AT 60 WRITERS NOVEMBER 23, 2017 NEWS
ABBA’s Benny Andersson
Benny has some interesting insights about growing old, giving up drinking and always having a positive attitude for the future.
In the 1970s ABBA’s catchy melodies and iconic lyrics were impossible to avoid, and the dream Swedish group broke plenty hearts when it split in the early ’80s. Some fan would still be super happy to hear of a reunion tour, and satisfy themselves with the hit Mamma Mia! musical in the meantime.

It’s natural to assume the members of the group must look back on their time in the spotlight as some of the best years of their lives – the adulation and the money!

But Benny Andersson says he much prefers his current situation then the stardom he left behind.

In an exclusive interview with The Australian, the singer and pianist revealed he loves getting older and keeps a positive attitude toward his future.

“I am a lucky bloke, definitely. If you were to ask, would you prefer to be 30 again in the middle of the ABBA stuff or now, I would say now, because now is better.” he said.

“Getting old is not so bad. The problem is that you are going to die soon. The trick is not to think about that too much … It is the same for all of us; death is very democratic.”

The 70-year-old star attributes his good health today, though, to a drastic lifestyle change he made 15 years ago.

“Stopping drinking was the best decision I’ve ever taken,” he revealed. “It was a problem, absolutely. So 15 years ago I thought, I have to give this up. I wouldn’t be here now if I hadn’t.

“It triggered a lot of my friends to quit drinking, too, and they are equally happy.”

Benny, a celebrated piano player who now writes musical scores for films, also talked about his split with ex-wife and fellow band member Anni-Frid Lyngstad, admitting that being in ABBA made their marriage last longer than it would have without the band.

Ad. Article continues below.

“If you can’t live together, you can’t live together,” he said plainly to the newspaper. “You don’t have to be a musician to realise that. My marriage to Frida ended, but I think being in ABBA helped us to stay together for longer than otherwise. It was more like that than the other way around.”

“I think if you ask any of us now, we are all happy about what we have achieved. We had a big party last year to celebrate my and Bjorn’s long collaboration and friendship, and the girls surprised us by getting up on stage and singing ‘The Way Old Friends Do’.” he added.

Benny also talked of his strong friendship with fellow bandmate Bjorn describing him as being ‘like a brother’ throughout his life.

Benny’s new solo album Piano was released in September and features a solo rendition of ABBA classic ‘Thank You For The Music’.
