Abba's women take a chance to deny bitter rumours

[KiwiCoromandel]

THE two women members of 1970s hit group Abba have rejected long-standing rumours that they are bitter enemies.

In a rare joint interview published on Friday, Agnetha Faltskog, 58, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, 63, took a chance to set the record straight.

"A lot has been written about how Agnetha and I fought and quarrelled with each other," Lyngstad said. "There is absolutely no truth in that. "Of course we competed, but to good effect."

They formed Abba with Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.

The four are rarely seen together in public but were reunited last year for the Swedish premiere of Mamma Mia!, a film based on their hits.
