Robbie Williams loves Dancing Queen

Singer hopes to record with Abba

Robbie Williams is planning to record songs with ABBA.

The Angels singer, 32, has been in talks with former ABBA star Anni-Frid Lyngstad about the possibility of releasing several songs with the Swedish quartet, who split in 1983.

Robbie is said to be particularly keen to re-record the group's 1975 hit Dancing Queen.

Anni-Frid, 60, says she is thrilled at the prospect of working with Robbie and is waiting for him to finalise their plans. She says: 'Robbie and I talked about doing an ABBA hit together. He has not yet come back on that one.'

ABBA – married couples Anni-Frid and her husband Benny Andersson, and Bjorn Ulvaeus and his wife Agnetha Faltskog – have refused offers to reunite since splitting.

A source told the Daily Star: 'Maybe Robbie could be the one to get them together again. It would be a sensational coup.'
