Why was the ABBA pop group dissolved?

On my mom’s last birthday, I bought her an ABBA music CD. When the cd was playing she told my sisters and I about the great ABBA group and how popular they were during her teenage years. She said the only thing she didn’t know was why the group was dissolved? Was there a fight between them? Where is Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog]]?

Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson said that there was nothing that could entice them back on stage again and that they will never appear on stage again as a group. There is no longer any motivation to re-group as well. There was also an internal strife between the group and their manager that escalated which led to the groups selling their shares in Polar Music during 1983.

ABBA made no official announcement about the end of the group but the group has long been considered dissolved. Their last public performance together as ABBA was during the British programme The Late, Late Breakfast Show which is live from Stockholm on December 11, 1982.

Agnetha started recording sessions for a solo album in January 1983 while Frida had successfully released her album "Something's Goin On" earlier. While Bjorn and Benny started writing songs for the musical Chess, and ABBA was shelved.

The foursome did not come together publicly but all four members were reunited at the Swedish premier of Mamma Mia on July 4, 2008. They confirmed that they will never be performing again as a group and money is not a factor in the breakup. They would like the people to remember them as the young, exuberant, full of energy and ambition singers.

They just kind of got sick of each other.
