It won't happen. I don't think money is really an issue for them, considering they've sold 380 million records world wide and all had careers outside of Abba. Bjorn and Benny were both in successful Swedish bands before Abba, Agnetha and Frida both had solo careers in Sweden and around Europe before and after Abba and of course, the mamouth success of "Mamma Mia!" will bring in some serious cash.

Even at the height of their fame, the band never enjoyed touring. They've all said how much they enjoyed being on stage and performing, but hated the gruelling tour schedules and the long hours travelling.

Benny and Bjorn have explicitly said that a reunion won't happen. There have been plenty of opportunities, the most recent being the 40th Anniversary celebrations in London earlier this year, but it was decided they would not reform.

For a long time, Agnetha was the only member holding back a reuinion, but since her latest solo album and her return to the stage for the first time in 25 years, it looked like all members were more than capable of the reunion. Bjorn recently performed with the Abba Choir at the museum in Stokholm, Benny has consistently appeared with his folk band and Frida has never been away from the limelight, although she's more of an environmental activist now. But alas, it never happened and likely won't.
