The Swedish musician and guitarist of the cult band ABBA, Lasse Wellander, has died. The star is 70 years old. The Daily Mail reported this.
Wellander’s cause of death was oncology.
“It is with indescribable sadness that we must announce that our beloved Lasse has passed away. Lasse recently contracted cancer that spread rapidly and passed away on Good Friday surrounded by loved ones. Much love and we miss you,” Wellander’s family said in a statement. .
As you know, Wellander started working with ABBA in October 1974. The first works were the hits Intermezzo No.1 and Crazy World.
The guitarist recorded 24 songs from all eight of the group’s albums.
After ABBA’s breakup in 1982, Wellander collaborated with other Swedish artists. So, in 2008, he recorded the soundtracks for the movie Mamma Mia!
In addition, in 1981 the musician released a solo album.
To recall, experts said that sales of vinyl records in the UK in 2021 broke 30-year records. This is due to active demand for new albums by Swedish quartet ABBA and British singer Adele.
