ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus has no memory of 1974 Eurovision win

ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus has told The Mirror he has no recollection of the band's 1974 Eurovision win with 'Waterloo', having struggled with his memory since becoming famous.

ABBA's Bjorn Ulvaeus has said he has no recollection of the band's winning performance of 'Waterloo' at the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton. Or of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, in fact. And possibly not even 1974. He said he's struggled with his memory ever since ABBA became famous and has tried various unsuccessful methods to improve it, including hypnosis. He told The Mirror: "It's unbelievable but I do not remember standing on the stage. It's like I was not even there. People ask me if I am going to write my memoirs but, even if I wanted to, I would not be able. Many remember that moment, where they were, what they did, even how they felt. But not me".
