ABBA has issued a rare message to their fans as they mark the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision Song Contest win.
Several pianos across Europe will play a piece by Andersson simultaneously - designed to make it seem as though it's being played live. In their statement to fans, ABBA said: "It’s slightly dizzying and deeply humbling to think that millions of you who saw us for the first time in the Eurovision final 1974 have passed our music on not only to one generation, but to several. We see evidence of that every time one of us visits Abba Voyage in London, and it’s because of this we can celebrate the 50th anniversary of that event in the knowledge that our songs still resonate around the world.
“Many of you were there from the very start and have followed us ever since – for over half a century! Music you discover and learn to love when you grow up or even later in life has a way of staying with you forever. We share that experience with you and to know that our music has become a constant in your lives is a wonderful thing.”
