Abba: Bright Lights Dark Shadows New Edition
Abba: Bright Lights Dark Shadows New Edition | Carl Magnus Palm
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
This new edition of the best-selling ABBA book has been updated to include details of Mamma Mia!'s extraordinary success and the ongoing lives of Bjrn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fltskog, their music and their personal lives. It has also been substantially revised throughout. As generations of new fans discover ABBA's timeless music, Frida, Agnetha, Benny and Bjrn remain rather shadowy, secretive figures. Their marriages, personal break-ups and superficial biographical details are well known...but who exactly are ABBA? How did Norwegian orphan Anni-Frid become a real-life princess? How did folksy Benny and Bjrn become an international pop force to rival Lennon & McCartney? What happened to blonde Agnetha who smiled a lot but never really looked happy? And how many billions have Abba been offered to reform? World renowned ABBA expert Carl Magnus Palm's acute understanding of the culture of his native Sweden offers a unique insight into the group, and their sometimes dark personal stories. Bright Lights Dark Shadows: The Real Story of ABBA is the ultimate account of the rise and fall of a legendary group and a biography of rare perception.
