Eurovision fans go wild as ABBA share clip teasing their return as they ... trends now

Eurovision fans went wild as ABBA teased their return in a social media clip on Thursday.  

They dominated the music scene throughout the 1970s, but after just 10 years - and two divorces - they called it quits in 1983. 

But since Eurovision 2024 kicked off, rumours that the band are set to reunite for a performance on the singing competition have started to spread, as they prepare to mark 50 years since they won with hit track Waterloo.

The band - made up of Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus - shared a clip to their TikTok page popping out from behind a bush. 

The sound playing over the video said: 'Ok guys we're back, did you miss us? Because we missed you'

Fans rushed to the comment section to share their excitement, with one penning: 'Omg if they appear at Eurovision I'll absolutely explode';

'Stop they are so iconic'; 'We need ABBA at Eurovision';

'The best and most important comeback in history? We're ready'     

It comes after ABBA thanked fans in a rare statement as the band celebrate the 50th anniversary of their Eurovision Song Contest victory.

The iconic 70s pop group remain the show's most famous and successful exports after they were crowned winners in April 1974 with their song, Waterloo.

Reflecting on the milestone, the group issued a joint statement as they expressed their gratitude for fans 'steadfast loyalty and support through the years'.

To mark the anniversary, several pianos across Europe will play a pre-recorded by Benny simultaneously to make it sound as though he is playing live.

Sharing a picture of the foursome winning the accolade, they wrote: 'It's slightly dizzying and deeply humbling to think that millions of you who saw us for the first time in the Eurovision final 1974 have passed our music on not only to one generation, but to several.

'We see evidence of that every time one of us visits Abba Voyage in London, and it's because of this we can celebrate the 50th anniversary of that event in the knowledge that our songs still resonate around the world.'

They continued: 'It's difficult to comprehend that 50 years have gone by since the four of us waited backstage for the verdicts of all the juries around Europe at the Dome in Brighton.

'So what were out dreams during those suspenseful moments or in the chaos in the aftermath of the victory we had secured with the smallest margin in Eurovision history?

'Four different dreams, no doubt, but whatever they were, however grand, reality has surpassed them, that's for sure.'

The group went on to have a huge repertoire of hits including Dancing Queen (1976), Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (1979) and Super Trouper (1976) to name a few.

Since their split their catalogue of music has inspired the Mamma Mia! film franchise and theatre show, and more recently the incredible ABBA Voyage.
