when did abba break up

ABBA effectively broke up in late 1982, with no official announcement but widely considered dissolved after their final public performance on December 11, 1982. This breakup closely followed the divorces of both couples in the band — Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog divorced in 1980, and Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad in 1981 — which heavily impacted the group's dynamic and led to the eventual end of their collaboration as ABBA.
