on longevity in the music business
dolly partonI will never retire. I hope to fall dead in the middle of some great event or some great song I’m singing. Then they’ll say, ‘Oh well, she went happy and doing what she loves.’
reutersFour years ago, ABBA was offered $1 billion to reunite. The answer was ‘No.’ But what if that figure doubled?
“No, not even if you did that,” Ulvaeus told Reuters.
“It is never going to happen again. I think it is a bit too long now. We split up in 1981. People haven’t seen us as a group since then and it would come as such a disappointment to them.”
so dolly will die on stage, and abba will never return to the stage.
i guess it’s important to note that abba’s probably still making a decent wage with the $750+ million grossing “mama mia” musical…
