The musicians of the Swedish band ABBA Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson refused to perform in their native Sweden at Eurovision 2024. About this May 25 writes The Guardian.
“I don’t want. And if I don’t want it, then others won’t either. It’s the same for all four of us. Someone says no – it’s no, ”Benny Anderson said in an interview with BBC Newsnight.
Expectations were associated with several events at once. According to the rules of the competition, next year Eurovision should be held in Sweden, since the first place in 2023 was taken by the representative of this country, the singer Loreen. In addition, 2024 marks the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s victory at Eurovision with the big hit Waterloo. However, Bjorn Ulvaeus stressed that the team will be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their victory without performing at the competition.
