The ABBA Museum in Stockholm is reporting that they have sold over 3.000 tickets for the opening next summer, in June 2009. It looks like the museum will be the big hit for Stockholm next summer.
     The museum's owner Ewa Wigenheim-Westman and her husband Ulf Westman tells us that 3.000 tickets already have been sold - worldwide. The attention the museum has gotten is colossal in media around the world.
     Wigenhelm-Westman and Westman estimate that 500.000 visitors will com every year. Out of them 70-75% will be fans from other countries outside of Sweden.

Agnetha has forgiven her former group members

Thanks to Tom in Scotland for this article from The Daily Mail.

The ABBA girls' new love interests.

These two articles come from the no-so-trustworthy Swedish weekly Svensk Damtidning.

Agnetha enjoyed herself with the king's friend at Noppe's ball.
Agnetha in the arms of "her good friend" Bertil again.
It isn't often the songbird Agnetha Fältskog, 58, leaves her safe home at Ekerö outside of Stockholm. But who can turn down an invitation from the king's best friend Noppe Lewenhaupt? His exclusive club "Noppe" celebrates five years this year. It has also become a tradition that Noppe hosts a summer party at Berns every year to end the club season.
     Agnetha arrived summer fresh and happy together with another of the king's friends, Bertil "Bersan" Nordström, 64. The couple has been good friends for many years, and the two latest years rumours of "more than friends" have been flying. They don't comment it at all themselves. But doesn't the picture suggest that they are more than friends? After Noppe's party there's no doubt who is Agnetha favourite man, the father of four "Bersan", of course!

Who is the mysterious Henry, everyone wondered:
ABBA-Frida showed off her new love interest at a high society party in Djursholm.
Has Frida, 62, found love again, or...? When the married couple Claes Dinkelspiel and Birgitta Rydbeck invited 300 of their closest friends to a summerparty at Villa Pauli in posh Djursholm, Frida gave everyone a surprise - this handsome and tanned Englishman Henry Guard.
     - We had no idea Frida was going to arrive with a new man so it was a real surprise, a gueast reveals. Noone seemed to know him, and he wasn't on the guest list, so he must have been invited in the last minute.
     It was a big party, with lots of guests - among others Prinsessan Kristina Fru Magnusson and her husband Tosse Magnusson, Anders and Lotta Wall, The owner of H&M Stefan Persson with his wife Denise. But Henry was and still is a mystery.
     Anni-Frid Reuss von Plauen - or Frida for short - was in a brilliant mood when she arrived to the party in a paisley pattern blouse with matching trousers. Henry smiled in a relaxed way for the cameras without saying one word, neither in English nor Swedish.
     Rumours say that Frida will spend the summer in her house in Torekov together with the mysterious Henry, who hopefully speaks a little more when he is alone with the ABBA-star.

Thanks for Tom in Scotland who gave me the link to an article that explains a little more about who Henry is. Read it here.
