Any opportunity to see Abba together is great. I’m sure they will appear together to receive this most prestigious award. Congratulations Abba.. Aren’t we Abba fans so lucky to see Abba so relevant still 40 years after.. Great video BB…
I think like you and yes they'll apear together, why not , it is how it has to be than in this case and its not like they have to perform or something.
That photo of ABBA on stage for the opening of ABBA Voyage was so special and I count myself so lucky to have been there that night. I'll never forget the audience's adulation. ❤
Some journalist in the UK who had attented the VOYAGE premier, discribed in an article the crowd's emotional,(if not hysteric ) reaction at the moment Abba stepped on stage that night with one word .He stated that the fans response was ''Deafening"!!!!
ABBA has been with me for half a century now. All the highs and lows, my youth, my growing up and now my senior life have been and still are touched by their melodies, songs and musicals - a strange and humbling thought at the same time.
This year is 50 years since fame came knocking at their door in the Eurovision contest of 1974. Fame took them farther than they had ever expected. Congrats ABBA, an honour well deserved.
ABBA mérite toutes les distinctions et les récompenses dues aux efforts consentis dans le domaine artistique. La consécration par conséquent. Félicitations à Agnetha Bjorn Benny Anni-Frid🙏🙏💋💋
You're right, Bobby's Brother... that wording definitely signifies that ABBA's intention is to be at that ceremony together. Very exciting for us; there will surely be photos! And what an honour. It will be a great day all round. ❤
Seems very likely. But photographed, not filmed. Not for the public anyway. But one can always hope. I think they will be most comfortable, all four, if it's not so public and things like this usually are not here in Sweden. But we'll know soon enough. I hope they will enjoy they're day! That's the main thing after all. 😊
Tell them 'We Love Them.And that we are grateful.....for everything they did for us,for the things they know, and things they don't know. Abba was like lifeline oxygene for squillions of us back then.They made us feel happy and feel safe even deceptively thinking that life is Only beautiful.'They were our fairytale" as another fan once said.'Our refugee and consolation.Our healing joy and comfort.For all those things and many more, i'm grateful.
I agree BB, ABBA's appearance at Voyage felt like goodbye. But it seems only right that they should receive this honour together, as they have achieved it together. It would be amazing and I do hope they do. 🤩
That is wonderful news. I thought of a pipe dream, but I always wish one of the members would do comic cons around the world, just sitting down and signing for fans. Meeting Frida would’ve been worth any price.
Wow, wonderful news!!!! ❤❤❤ But on which time on 31.th May will be the ceremony???? So the fans can stay the whole day there .... and see what's happening. And than you'll see ABBA only for a short moment or even not. Thank you for sharing this lovely news with us!
I saw Abba live in Toronto, our seat selection wasn’t great but I heard all their familiar songs. It was the best concert I’d attended & enjoyed them a lot. They’re my favourite singing group & I listen to them on CDs now & I will remember them forever..
In July 1976, I had no idea how my ABBA life would play out. I definitely never thought in 2024, ABBA songs, clothing, names etc would help me through my life. 5 children, (Neal Christian and Anna, I got away with) 2 horrific break downs, and now living with many illnesses, both mental and physical, my life carries on. I was obsessed in the 70's and 80's, and I still am. I can't imagine a life where ABBA didn't exist. My parents and my 3 year younger brother, were dragged into their music, as it echoed through out the family home. My hubby said last week to 'On And On And On', "I've never heard that song before ". To which he got the lecture about the ABBA programme in 1981 'Words and Music', which gave us ABBA obsessives, the 'extra verse'! They will be with me until my end. They haven't just been a group to me. They have been my life! And I can't never thank them enough for that ❤❤❤
Hello dear ABBA fans, do you feel the same way as I do when I see all four ABBA members together in the 2020s ? I get an overwhelming lump in my throat and find myself tearing up, reminiscing about my wonderful childhood with ABBA.
AMIGO ÉS O MAIOR,MERECIAS ESTAR LÁ PRESENTE,PARA NOS TRANSMITIRES AO MUNDO MAIS UM POUCO DOS ABBA,APÓS SEUS 50 ANOS DE ENCANTAR O MUNDO, ADORARIA ESTAR LÁ À PORTA DA ENTRADA PARA OS VER PESSOALMENTE,SERIA UM SONHO DE UMA VIDA,ENFIM,AMIGO UM ABRAÇO E CONTINUA
It's so special to read those comments and to get aware that people all over the world have the same feelings about ABBA. One funny story from me: Before I moved to a new flat, or even I did a renovation of a room in my flat, it is very important that first of all - when the room is still empty - one or two (or more) ABBA songs must be played to fill the room with good mood and vibrations. I am from Germany and in our language I call it: "ein-ABBA-ern". I know it's cracy but to me it is a must-have! 😃😂 It would be very great to see the four again, perhaps on the 11th of May at ESC or at the celebration for Swedens king. We will see, let's keep the fingers crossed. Take care friends! 😍
Great to see ABBA are being honoured in their home country and would be surprised if they didn't turn up, I assume its like a royal command that they cannot turn down.The Avatars are rumoured to be turning up at Eurovision, ? ? It would be fantastic and I hope they do turn up and honour where it all started for them.
This is such an overwhelming and well deserved honour. Surely it would be rude if all four do not attend. Whether the event will be private or not is another matter. I hope we are lucky enough to at least see a photo.
Siento un profundo Orgullo por este merecido reconocimiento. Y gran emoción e ilusión por presenciar esta ceremonia si es que se transmite. Gracias Bobby! CONGRATULATION ABBA! Clau Vivian❤
ABBA 100% should get this award from the King of Sweden , I am in full support of this as I am 15 % Swedish myself even though I was born in the UK .I am lucky as I have seen ABBA in concert twice and got their Autograph's signed on a photo of the four of them , They are the number one Band / Group in the World , Excellent music all round . xx . ROB.
That's what I'm hoping on my way to Sweden,for first time in 50 years and I'm so hoping they will all be going together,how fantastic,that will be I will be waiting 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
It would be fantastic if they did. I've been a fan since the 1970s. They richly deserve this award, sincerely hope they do, Swedens best export, still have their albums❤ 🎉
I agree with you that all four of them most likely will show up to the ceremony at the castle but not to ESC, maybe though trough some sort of pre-recorded greetings. Most likley from Björn in that case. Regarding goodbye: It feels like Frida and Agnetha and maybe even Björn are positive to do some more studio recordings but for some reason not Benny.
It sounds like they will all be there, but I think in private so perhaps just an official photo of the ceremony rather like here in UK when our Queen now King awarded honours we only saw a report about it most times
I’m so happy to see them all together… how about in a studio next? Careful, Benny, we’ll get the A and A bears to attack you… lol Also happy that Frida is included since technically she’s Norwegian by birth, but has strong ties with Sweden and the Swedish RF.
I really hope they do get together. I'm hoping I might get a glimpse of them when I visit Stockholm. I will actually be there when they receive the award
It always seems inconceivable to me that the four members of one of pop music's greatest groups wouldn't have come together more often. How could it have taken them so long?
I really HOPE the four ABBA members reunite for this event. It is well deserved. My only worry is Agnetha. I know she has become somewhat of a homebody. But PLEASE show up if this is going to take place! ❤
Yes I think they will all be there in person. I only hope this will be aired on SVT, because I assume attending will not be an option. I doubt they'll be at the Eurovision, Benny has said in the past he doesn't want to and I doubt Agnetha would want to either. But who knows, maybe Björn will be there.
So, the Eurovsion song contest is on May eleventh and the ceremony to honour them on the thirty first of May. Maybe they will appear at both , i{ in Avatar film footage and other film footage} and also, of course personal appearances??? Is this their Swansong as a group??? I think it is. I get the impession that Byorn and Agnetha have forgiven each other and are more at peace. Well done Bobby.Your videos are fantastic. They are so well researched. I look forward to the next. Now I will listen to ' Voyage ' once again.
The event will probably not be filmed. The king has given out other awards and those events haven’t been filmed except one that was in a documentary about the royal palace.
@@HistoryRepeatingTMU I wouldn't think so, but I don't know fpr sure. As it"s ABBA I'm guessing fans and press will be there regardless. I read on the schedule for the Royal Palace and there will be some press at the event, so hopefully in a calm and respectful way it will be documented. It's not a open public event and several more people are to be honored this day.
They will be there, all 4, that is my interpretation of this very official and formal invitation and honour (unless something deeply personal makes them not be able to come). I imagine the ceremony strictly after protocol and private, yet I have the impression the Swedish royal family is somewhat more approachable than others. This makes me think: we may get a glimpse/little wave of the 4 😊 I don’t think it will be filmed, but a photo is very likely.
I also think they all show up on the event!!! Also giving the fact that the king and queen of Sweden attended not only the premiere of Voyage in London but even more surprisingly the couple were present at the Artists for ABBA show last month, giving the fact that any ABBA member snubbed the event (probably to keep the lowest profil possible). I think ABBA owns them and Sweden in the event of this huge honor that all four show up in flesh.
Give these 4 people their well-deserved rest. They have done enough for the fans. Maybe there will be a deluxe version of Voyage. That would be great. And otherwise we have get some beautiful songs. They will never been forgotten.
NOW, is the time for ABBA to actually perform together one last time at the Eurovision Song Contest. They are old now & should rest for their last years. Go out on a high by singing 1 last time together ABBA
I thought you meant together for the Voyage 2nd anniversary but yes, the ceremonial event is more likely. B&B at Voyage for a Q&A and I have tickets but given it’s 50 years since Waterloo I have to wonder if there will be unexpected guests… and dream a little!
I have a feeling Frida may be there as a special guest, as they seem to be filming the q&a or at least that was implied in the email. My guess is a big announcement may be coming tomorrow, possibly the location of the new arena or a Setlist change, who knows? But they seem to be doing more for the second anniversary over the first
Would we be able to watch them arrive and leave at the castle if we travelled to Stockholm? It would be wonderful to support them in this way if possible, one last time!
definitely they will be there in respect of the monarch ....with a new song as a surprise thank you gift to honour the King and Queen ...a song that will last for Sweden in remembering the living legend group
They will be there, not necessarily for the fans this time, but for them personally it is such an honour. I would like to see Abba one last time. I could not make the opening night of Voyage and they did not attend on 6 April for the 50 anniversary. i suppose they cannot be everywhere....I wish we knew at what time the ceremony will be on 31 May Flights are now expensive and i would need go the night before, but i think it will be worth it.
Being what it is, i just assumed that they would have to be in person to receive this Order, and it would make sense to have just the one ceremony instead of 4 separate times.
It is almost certain that each of the members will be present because an absence could be interpreted almost as a “diplomatic” affront. Even if I think that ABBA would prefer a discreet ceremony, I believe that the Swedish Crown, the state (and the press of course) would not miss such an opportunity for communication and popular influence with a coverage in the international media. It remains to be seen whether this type of event is usually filmed or will simply be the subject of a somewhat strict official photo...
If there is any reason for the 4 members of ABBA to reunite in public, it is this prestigious honour from the King of Sweden. While I doubt the ceremony will (or should be) filmed, I do hope some new photos of the quartet are made available. I have just one request though: Benny, please don't wear "Grandma's housecoat" like you did at the opening of ABBA Voyage 2 years ago. 😉
Thanks for the news BB but I'm surprised you missed an even bigger event they will probably reunite for. My birthday May 24 (same as Bob Dylan). Cheers 🎹 🙂 👍
Knowing the four they will manage go to the ceremony without standing next to each other. Someone will always be to the loo to avoid a photograph to be taken 😉
Any opportunity to see Abba together is great. I’m sure they will appear together to receive this most prestigious award. Congratulations Abba.. Aren’t we Abba fans so lucky to see Abba so relevant still 40 years after.. Great video BB…
I think like you and yes they'll apear together, why not , it is how it has to be than in this case and its not like they have to perform or something.
Congratulations to them all & well deserved ❤️🌹🇬🇧
It would be marvellous to see them all together again.
May this come true. We will never see enough of the four of them together.
That photo of ABBA on stage for the opening of ABBA Voyage was so special and I count myself so lucky to have been there that night. I'll never forget the audience's adulation. ❤

The clues are sufficient. They’ll be there.

This year is 50 years since fame came knocking at their door in the Eurovision contest of 1974. Fame took them farther than they had ever expected. Congrats ABBA, an honour well deserved.
This news just made my day. ❤
No one is more deserving for such an honor than our four Swedish heroes.
I think all four of them will definitely come. I hobe I see them since I'm in Stockholm at this time. ABBA is a part of my life❤❤
ABBA mérite toutes les distinctions et les récompenses dues aux efforts consentis dans le domaine artistique.
La consécration par conséquent.
Félicitations à Agnetha
Bjorn
Benny
Anni-Frid🙏🙏💋💋
I Love them so much! I AM a die hard ABBA fan. To the day I die.
Me also. June 1976
Anche io ,un saluto dall'Italia❤
Me too🤩
Me too! Since I heard Abba for the first time when I was four years old until the day I pass and on the other side.
Me too since 1979 i got ultimately infected.It's tense and permanent.
You're right, Bobby's Brother... that wording definitely signifies that ABBA's intention is to be at that ceremony together. Very exciting for us; there will surely be photos! And what an honour. It will be a great day all round. ❤
yes, I'd agree - I'm sure they will attend, it's a really fitting honour.
@@sianwilliams9564 💯 It’s pretty exciting.
I think they will come ALL FOUR to the Royal Event and that would be fantastic… I hope that this ceremony will be filmed 💗❤️💐

I think they will be most comfortable, all four, if it's not so public and things like this usually are not here in Sweden. But we'll know soon enough. I hope they will enjoy they're day!

It would be great to see all 4 together again. We only can hope this.❤️
I sure do hope the ceremony is filmed, it’s always nice to see them individually never mind all 4 together!
J'espère qu'on les reverra ensemble encore une fois. La remise de cette distinction aux quatre membres serait l'occasion rêvée. ❤❤❤❤
🎉 Greetings from coastal Mississippi. Congratulations to ABBA..... listening and loving them for 50 years ❤
I will be at Voyage on May 27th with Benny & Bjorn - still can’t believe I’ll see 2 of them in person 😭
Tell them 'We Love Them.And that we are grateful.....for everything they did for us,for the things they know, and things they don't know.
Abba was like lifeline oxygene for squillions of us back then.They made us feel happy and feel safe even deceptively thinking that life is Only beautiful.'They were our fairytale" as another fan once said.'Our refugee and consolation.Our healing joy and comfort.For all those things and many more, i'm grateful.
No doubt they all four will attend and of course there will be both photos and videos of this significant event ! ABBA Royals, exciting news BB !
I agree BB, ABBA's appearance at Voyage felt like goodbye. But it seems only right that they should receive this honour together, as they have achieved it together. It would be amazing and I do hope they do. 🤩
It Is great news and they realy deserve it for their talent.
We always knew they were royalty. Glad it has been confirmed.
I think they will be together for this ceremony
That is wonderful news. I thought of a pipe dream, but I always wish one of the members would do comic cons around the world, just sitting down and signing for fans. Meeting Frida would’ve been worth any price.
ABBA, history in the making once again. May 31st, 2024. They deserve it FOR SURE. ABBA music is ETERNAL.
Wow, wonderful news!!!! ❤❤❤
But on which time on 31.th May will be the ceremony???? So the fans can stay the whole day there .... and see what's happening. And than you'll see ABBA only for a short moment or even not.
Thank you for sharing this lovely news with us!
Lo spero tanto.. rivederli ancora insieme questi eterni ragazzi ..!! Io sono un loro coetaneo..!😇❤
Loved them since watching them on 1974 Eurovision. They're pure magic. Went to see Abba Voyage, absolutely brilliant and tear-jerking.
ABBA to najlepszy zespół rozrywkowy jaki kiedykolwiek istniał.

ABBA deserves this award so much! I'm so happy for them as they have made a huge impact on music!
Je pense qu'ils seront là pour l'événement Royal . Je suis une fan depuis très longtemps 50 ans du groupe ABBA . Merci BB pour ces bonnes nouvelles
I Love you ABBA ❤

For sure all four ABBA members will attend the ceremony 🥰
I really needed this today

You could be right. We ' ll see
I listen to ABBA just about every work day. They were the BEST music group of my time. If only we could go back to those younger days….
That's what I'm hoping on my way to Sweden,for first time in 50 years and I'm so hoping they will all be going together,how fantastic,that will be I will be waiting 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
It is my dream to meet them. I have been a big fan since 1976
It would be fantastic if they did. I've been a fan since the 1970s. They richly deserve this award, sincerely hope they do, Swedens best export, still have their albums❤ 🎉

Yes, I am looking forward❤
What an interesting video, Bobby.
I’m so happy to see them all together… how about in a studio next? Careful, Benny, we’ll get the A and A bears to attack you… lol
Also happy that Frida is included since technically she’s Norwegian by birth, but has strong ties with Sweden and the Swedish RF.
It's always a big pleasure and a big desire to see them together again, again and again, now and in future. They will be loved always ❤.
They deserve to be awarded. That would be an amazing event ever. We love their music and the songs. It's still going strong nowadays.
Bravoo❤🎉
I really hope they do get together. I'm hoping I might get a glimpse of them when I visit Stockholm. I will actually be there when they receive the award
Looking forward to this!
It always seems inconceivable to me that the four members of one of pop music's greatest groups wouldn't have come together more often. How could it have taken them so long?
Xứng đáng quá! Tôi cảm giác mình đang mơ! Tôi yêu ABBA và mong họ mãi mãi là biểu tượng của cuộc hôn phối giữa tình yêu và âm nhạc❤❤❤
Fingers crossed that they do join together for this occasion 🙏🏻🤩
I really HOPE the four ABBA members reunite for this event. It is well deserved. My only worry is Agnetha. I know she has become somewhat of a homebody. But PLEASE show up if this is going to take place! ❤

Well done Bobby.Your videos are fantastic. They are so well researched. I look forward to the next.
Now I will listen to ' Voyage ' once again.
It would be great if the ceremony will broadcast live ..or at least after ...Congratulations for the right decision
The event will probably not be filmed. The king has given out other awards and those events haven’t been filmed except one that was in a documentary about the royal palace.
Hope you are wrong.
Yes, exactly. Photographed, but not filmed. It's between those present.
@@GuinevereKnightis there like a red carpet type of event? Will the public be able to stand outside and watch the honourees go in?

Are you still planning on going? I’m thinking of going to Stockholm to see it but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to see any of the members
@@HistoryRepeatingTMU no. I was told it would be a private affair and not worth travelling for.
Being what it is, i just assumed that they would have to be in person to receive this Order, and it would make sense to have just the one ceremony instead of 4 separate times.
I'm always glad to hear new things but Abba. It's a thing we all have to get older.
It is almost certain that each of the members will be present because an absence could be interpreted almost as a “diplomatic” affront.

In my dreams, Frida and Agnetha will record together an album with songs written by Benny & Björn.
If there is any reason for the 4 members of ABBA to reunite in public, it is this prestigious honour from the King of Sweden. While I doubt the ceremony will (or should be) filmed, I do hope some new photos of the quartet are made available. I have just one request though: Benny, please don't wear "Grandma's housecoat" like you did at the opening of ABBA Voyage 2 years ago. 😉
Aha Voyage The end of the voyage. I was a bit slow making that connection.
Cheers Bobby
Thanks for the news BB but I'm surprised you missed an even bigger event they will probably reunite for. My birthday May 24 (same as Bob Dylan). Cheers 🎹 🙂 👍
Knowing the four they will manage go to the ceremony without standing next to each other. Someone will always be to the loo to avoid a photograph to be taken 😉
