The legendary ABBA members, Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Reuss had come together for a virtual-yet-live performance of their album Voyage at the ABBA arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London.
As per Deadline, the pop group wasn't actually on stage performing in the ABBA Voyage event. Film director Baillie Walsh was the man who helped put the pop group ABBA back in the concert arena for the first time in four decades. "Once I decided the show was going to be a live concert with life-size avatars of Agnatha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid, I wanted the real world and the digital world to blend, seamlessly," Baillie explains.

It needed bringing ABBA into a studio for weeks of motion capture sessions. "We filmed them for five weeks, and then we worked with body doubles to create younger versions of themselves," added Walsh. Taking to Twitter on Friday, fashion photographer and film producer Atul Kasbekar shared his intrigue, captioning his tweet, "So the legendary ABBA hailed a cab in London. So which station could they have headed to now...?!?"
