London, July 5 (ANI): ABBA’s songwriting team Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus will form a part of a gig featuring some of the pop legends’ greatest tracks in London.

Thank You For The Music… A Celebration Of The Music Of Abba is set to be hosted by Radio 2 and will see guest singers performing the band’s numbers in Hyde Park on September 13.

“This must be the greatest honour that can be bestowed on any songwriter. We are absolutely delighted and we hope thousands of Radio 2 listeners will join us there,” the BBC quoted the songwriters as saying in a statement.

The announcement came amid reports that the group was approached to fill in Michael Jackson’s 50-show run at London’s O2 arena.

But Andersson has denied the story saying on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, “”No-one’s asked us, and if they did we wouldn’t say yes.” (ANI)
