Agnetha Faltskog of the Swedish supergroup Abba does not rule out a one-off reunion of the hit-making quartet, she said in an interview on Monday.

“A reunion, at a one-time occasion, perhaps for some benefit, is something I think we all could consider,” Faltskog said in the latest issue of the women’s magazine Magasin M.

“We will hardly reunite for a tour like the Rolling Stones and other old bands do. But I can consider us doing something in the future,” she added.

However, Faltskog, 60, said she had not discussed the idea with other band members Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson or Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

The group dissolved in 1983, four years after she divorced Ulvaeus, and Faltskog has since kept a low profile.

“I have no interest in featuring in newspapers or on TV. Many think it is just a pose… But I have no desire for it,” she said.

Faltskog has released three solo albums since Abba broke up and said she enjoys life at her mansion outside Stockholm.

Faltskog said she has begun to write songs again and has a clutch of half-finished songs.

Despite a long and successful career Faltskog said she still has unfulfilled ambitions.

“I would like to sing the theme song in a big movie. Imagine Titanic,” she said. – Sapa-dpa
