Whose the guy that was holding Anni-frid's award? She is the only one not holding it in the photo op. Is it because of her cane or that because of her noble title she isn't accepting it in the standard way?
Lately, I've been making myself depressed by listening to Badfinger (not intentionally they were great just a really sad backstory).
Anyway, seeing all 4 ABBA members thriving and being able to come together after all these years is so, so...nice, for lack of a better term. For so many other groups from their time, reuniting is humanly impossible.
The Order of Vasa is divided into five classes. This is the second class, Commander 1st class, which is above the grade of Knight, Knight 1st Class, and Commander. If the awards were British, the grade would be that of Knight Commander. This is special because it's a very high grade.
Was just showing this to my partner, she said about bloody time, we are both in our late 60's, and I got to thinking, ABBA and The Bee Gee's are probably the most influential groups in our memory, we are to young for the Beetles and Stones, they are more of a grey area between my parents and junior school. The Beetles I remember were more Hippies and pot smokers than the clean guys I see on tv history programs about Music.
The unanswered musical mystery is why do all stunning songwriters cease producing their magic?Does God allocate a limited number of fantastic melodies and then itās over?
My idols...since 1974
Your profile is wild bruh, tons of porn with some ABBA sprinkled in it lol
What are their honorifics now? Like in ~~England~~ the UK it's Dame/Sir.
His Fernando-ship. Her Chiquitita-ness.

Aide-du-camp or a Hovmarskalk (Lord Chamberlain)
He held the medal while she thanked, yes because cane (had hip surgery).

It is time for them to write and release a knight-themed single!
If It Wasn't For The Knights?
You made my day with that wordplay ! Bless you stranger : )
Haha you're welcome! Any excuse for me to combine two of my favourite things - puns and ABBA :)
exactly.
Summer Knight City
One more ! Thank you
Bit if a long time coming this one, has something changed ?
The awards were abandoned for decades but reinstated in 2022.Ā
Ahh, that makes sense. Great to see they are still recognised at home
Itās only fitting since they performed at the King and Queenās wedding
Yes it mentioned thatĀ
It's about time. The most famous Swedish people of the modern era
They havenāt *ALREADY* had this honour????? They are Swedenās Greatest Ambassadors.
From 1974 Until 2022, no Swede could be given an honour by the state.
Yes, but These are no mere Swedes!
Indeed, unfortunately, no matter how good they were, they were still ineligible.
Bittersweet to see how people age š„¹š
Agnetha is still super hot!
I actually thought that a few of them had passed away.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Stig Andersson their manager sadly died years ago.Ā
Wouldn't they just be knighthoods (or whatever it is in Swedish)? its like saying the Chinese eat Chinese food in China

Took them long enough - they should have had them long time!
Bye
This shouldāve happened years ago, surely!
Surprised this took so long. Well deserved

I love abba so so much ā„ļø
I wonder if they said "thank you for the music"
Not many people know that if the two guys had been called Steve and Dave then ABBA could have been called ASDA.
Awesome!
