ABBA has a series of groundbreaking concerts scheduled, but it appears to be the end of their career.

The four-piece Swedish band will gather for the final time before passing the torch to the digital version of themselves, the Abbatars.

According to The Sun, Agnetha Faltskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Benny Andersson would no longer feature in group appearances, music videos, or live performances of their real physical presence.

The band sold almost 400 million albums, had nine No. 1 singles, a successful musical, and one of the most anticipated comebacks of all time.

However, as the ABBA Voyage concert residencyis ready to begin at the purpose-built Abba Arena in London, it will mark the end of the actual vocalists since technology will entirely take over to participate in their groundbreaking presentation.

In an interview with The Sun, 77-year-old Björn revealed that all of his bandmates will be present, despite concerns that 76-year-old Frida and 72-year-old Agnetha, who is frightened of flying, might not be able to attend.

When asked if they'd be there, Björn answered definitely since it would be unusual and that he was extremely thrilled about it.

Frida apparently received a preview before Agnetha, but he maintains that they would enjoy the event with their fans.

Following the divorce of Björn and Agnetha in 1980, 75-year-old Benny and Frida married in 1978 and stayed married until 1981.

He believes they are now closer than ever since they have been through so much together.

"Above all, the fact that we can pull off a project like this, and that people still perceive us as relevant and listen to our music, that means we have something, the four of us, that I can't express other than a very, very unique link," he continued.

ABBA stunned the world by releasing an unexpected album, "Voyage," last year, which became their first in 40 years and promptly shot to the top of the charts.

Björn also said that it will be their final music release, despite the fact that they still have it in them.

"You never know how people would react when you do anything like that." "We launched that record with great pride."

ABBA Voyage has taken five years to complete, with computerized representations of the band appearing like they did when they were younger.

In front of 3,000 people, the digital avatars will perform their most hit singles.
