What do you see in the photo? Who do you think they might be? What are they wearing- why?
The photo shows a band from Sweden called ABBA. ABBA were famous in the 1970s in the UK and all over the world and had 9 number one singles in the UK between 1974 and 1980.They stopped recording together in 1982 but their songs became famous in the two Mamma Mia films. 39 years later in 2021 they are releasing new songs.
This week the first new songs were released and people all over the world watched the launch on youtube. ABBA have also announced a concert in London where they will perform as avatars. This explains the clothes in the photo; they spent five weeks filming their songs wearing these suits so that the avatars in the concert would show exactly how they move. In the video link below you can watch the video to the new song "I still have faith in you" and see how the Avatars will look and sound. This is the first time a concert is being performed in this way.

Benny Andersson, one of the members of ABBA said, "I think it's pretty good, we've done as good as we could at our age." Everyone in ABBA is over 70 years old. In the 24 hours since the video for "I still have faith in you" was released on youtube, it has been viewed 8 million times.
