The Swedish cult group ABBA, which released an album for the first time on Friday almost 40 years after their separation, announced on social media Wednesday that they were suspending their promotion for twenty-four hours after the accidental death of two people during a tribute concert in Sweden this Tuesday.
“In light of the tragic news that arose during the tribute concert in Sweden last night, we have decided to postpone the publication of the trailer for our upcoming concert until tomorrow,” ABBA said on social media.

Tuesday evening, in a concert hall in Uppsala 70 km north of Stockholm, an octogenarian died falling from seven floors, presumably accidentally, killing another spectator in his fall in front of many witnesses.
The large hall was to host

, a tribute show to the works of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, the two male members of ABBA, including covers of the group.
Soon avatars
In addition to the release of their new album, the legendary Swedish group is currently building a hall in London to host from May 2022 a show including digital "avatars" of the four members of the group.
The exact shape of these avatars, designed by a special effects company that worked for the
Star Wars
films
, still remains in part a mystery, but the group assures that they will not be simple holograms.
The “ABBAtars” are to represent Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad with their 1979 faces.
