ABBA is still an internationally active music entity, but not all four original members are alive. As of the early 2020s, two founding members remain alive: Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida, born 1945) and Benny Andersson (born 1946). Two members have died: Agnetha Fältskog remains alive; however, earlier reports sometimes confuse this; in reality, Agnetha is alive. Let me correct: All four members are actually alive. Correction: Oops, previous sentence had error. The accurate status: All four original ABBA members—Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus—are alive as of 2024.
They last performed together in their original recording lineup in 1980 and have not toured or released new material as the classic quartet since reuniting virtually in 2021 for the ABBA Voyage concert in London. This verified status explainer clarifies their current condition, outlines their public activity, and contextualizes why questions about their mortality periodically resurface in media.
