Via Contact Music: ABBA star Agnetha Faltskog stunned fans by hitting the stage for a surprise performance at a London charity concert, marking her first high-profile gig in 25 years.

The Swedish singer, who has reportedly not performed in front of an audience for more than two decades, was the surprise guest at Gary Barlow’s Children In Need Rocks concert, which was held at the city’s Eventim Apollo venue.

Faltskog performed her duet with Barlow, “I Should’ve Followed You Home”, to raise cash for the BBC’s annual Children In Need charity event, which supports underprivileged kids around the world.

ABBA fans – new song from Agnetha Fältskog

Agnetha Fältskog, of the super group ABBA, has released a single – “When You Really Loved Someone” – that will be on her new CD set for release May 13.

According to Billboard:

Agnetha has been working with Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jorgen Elofsson (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion and Westlife) and producer/arranger Peter Nordahl on her new album, which includes one of Agnetha first co-writes in many years. “I hadn’t written any music for a long, long time,” she says in a statement. “But I sat at the piano, and suddenly it was there.”

After 10 years of mega hits like “Waterloo” and “Dancing Queen” and selling over 100 million records, the group disbanded in 1982.
