The singer on his pre-Abba cabaret act, dressing in a bathrobe while self-isolating, and the problem with his surname
Born in Gothenburg, Björn Ulvaeus, 75, formed Abba with his first wife, Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. In 1974, Abba won Eurovision with Waterloo, and went on to sell 380m records. In 1999, they helped bring Mamma Mia!, a musical comprised of their back catalogue, to the West End, where it has run for 21 years. The film Mamma Mia! was released in 2008. Ulvaeus is married, for the second time, and lives in Sweden.
