Benny would reform Abba if it would save Slussen
The rebuilding and design of Slussen in Stockholm is such an important matter for former Abba member, Benny Andersson, that he is prepared to reform the supergroup in order to stop the current building plans.
"If I really knew that it would help I would reform Abba and write a song about Slussen, " Andersson said to newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.
He says that he does not know whether the other three members, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog would be interested.
Slussen is an important traffic node, bringing together road, bus, rail and underground transport. However, after decades of use, Slussen needs to be rebuilt and the City of Stockholm opened up a competition to architects to come up with a new plan to rebuild the area.
The choice of the winning design has proved controversial and has left some protesters, including Benny Andersson, deeply unhappy.
The City of Stockholm is set to vote on the matter next week.
