SHE'S considered a modern Greta Garbo - once known by every pop music fan in the world now famous as a recluse.
But Agnetha Faltskog, the blonde member of ABBA, stepped out of the shadows yesterday to reunite with the band for the first time in 23 years.
Still with her trademark smile, Faltskog joined Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad for the Swedish premiere of the wildly successful musical Mamma Mia.
The show featuring ABBA's music has raked in more than $1 billion.
Once married to Bjorn, Agnetha has been out of the public eye since the band split in 1982 but defends her lack of appearances because she is "easily stressed".
She recently told Swedish TV she would "rather be an original than a bad copy".
"I'm the same person I've always been - nice, normal, down-to-earth - and easily stressed," she said.
ABBA sold more than 360 million albums in eight years at the top of the charts but dismiss getting back together.
"People want to remember us as we were - youthful and energetic. Not four 60-somethings," Bjorn said.
