ABBA star Agnetha Faltskog has confessed she felt that the iconic pop group neither looked or sounded very good when performing live in their heyday.
Faltskog, who is getting ready to release her first new album in nine years, is known as a recluse - and has admitted that she never really enjoyed performing live in concert.
"Performing live is not my favourite," she told You magazine. "I am more of a recording person; I prefer to be private. I didn't mind doing videos, I can take that, but walking on stage in concert and singing live, that is a bit difficult. And I don't think we sounded or looked very good...
"It was nice to look how we looked, but we had no professional dance help. We did it on feelings, so when we had our concerts it was different every night. Frida and I didn't talk beforehand about what we were going to do."
She also spoke about how relieved she was once ABBA was over, telling the Daily Mail, "I was so tired once ABBA was over and just wanted to be calm and with my children. I married and divorced, all in 10 years. I wonder how I managed it all - but I was young."

It seems that fans can't expect a reunion then - and bandmate Bjorn Ulvaeus agreed. While at the new ABBA museum in Stockholm, he said, "As you all know we have never reunited, so I take this opportunity to say now we are not going to either."
Agnetha agreed while on a TV show in Australia, saying, "And we’ve had a lot of offers but we have our own life now since many years back and we don’t understand why we should do it. Because we’ve had our time and I think we should let ABBA rest and just listen to the music."
