When did ABBA retire?

Answer 1

ABBA never did split up, officially. They took a break from performing together at the end of 1982 to work on other projects and never regrouped. Some songs they had in the can for a planned ninth album have since been released on compilations and reissued versions of other albums. Of course the two couples at the heart of Abba had divorced by the early 80s which made working together increasingly difficult.

Answer 2

ABBA never officially disbanded, however their last public performance together was in December of 1982, and they are considered to be essentially dissolved. There is no desire among them to return to the stage, having made enough money and receiving enough through residuals, and having made their mark on music history. Although each of them has pursued their own solo ventures, they've always made it clear that they wish people to remember ABBA for what is was at it greatest.

Answer 3

They broke up in 1982, Each of the couples were married and divorced in 1979 and 1981, I think the touring and schedule was too much and two marriages were wrecked, both women also went solo and the men went into writing and producing other acts.

Answer 4

The correct answer is they never did officially break up. They took a break in 1983 to work on other projects: Benny and Bjorn began work with Sir Tim Rice on the musical Chess, while Frida and Agnetha resumed their solo careers. They always intended to come back together to complete a ninth album (some tracks were already in the can) but it never happened. It is known they performed together privately at least three times between 1983 and 1999.

Answer 5

Abba never officially broke up

but in 1982 after the release of Frida 'Something's going on' hit album and the final compilation 'ABBA the first ten years' ,Benny and Bjorn were busy with their ambitious musical work in progress "Chess" while Agnetha recorded her first english solo album 'wrap your arms' and Frida enjoying success ,was promoting through out TV around the world ...

Asked time to time if they broke up ,they all four said systematically no!

but as time went on ,no signs of reunion were seen , though they made TV tributes or privately to friend birthdays or so .

and from that date no recording was seen except solo works .

so we can tell that they stopped in 1982 and the last appearance was that year .
