His first book on ABBA was in 1994, and his eighth book is titled ABBA at 50, which is available now. ABBA at 50 is a fascinating read, and takes us through the whole ABBA story from the beginnings of each of the members, and takes the date for the band's formation as ABBA as 1972. His insights into one of the world’s best-selling bands, whose music is still universally enjoyed, are fascinating. The relationships, the personal backgrounds, the roles adopted within the band, the fallout, breakups, the comeback, and of course, their music including the current continuing success through musicals, films, and their digital avatar concert.

Even for ABBA aficionados, this interview provides a fascinating insight recounted with affection into the extraordinary lives of Benny, Björn, Anni-Frid (Frida), and Agnetha.
