Abba reunited for Eurovision

Swedish supergroup Abba are being reunited at tonight’s Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals.

Thirty years after the band won the event with Waterloo, they will make cameo appearances in a one-off video.

Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog make individual appearances at the window of a record company executive, played by comic actor Rik Mayall.

Four puppets also appear as caricatures of the singers and perform some of the band’s hits to the record company executive.

The tribute video also features a brief appearance from American singer Cher.

A BBC3 spokeswoman said: “Whilst the puppets perform, a host of familiar faces appear at the window of Rik’s office to watch and listen, with each member of the line up taking a cameo role.”

The Eurovision final is in Istanbul on May 15 and tonight’s semi-final is televised on BBC3 at 8pm.
