14. ABBA

When you picture famous musicians backstage just before a performance, what do you imagine them to be doing? Are there lavish amounts of booze and other party treats everywhere? Groupies and hangers on hanging off every arm and chair? Sunglasses protecting eyes from the smoke that drifts across the place? Or are there just two very polite looking men reading National Geographic?

If you went with the second options, chances are you were thinking of ABBA. We don't know where their famous wives have gone, but Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus seem to be passing the time with some reading material, seen here in Copenhagen in 1975. Although it's equally possible that Andersson is desperate for anything to look at other than that crazy sweater Ulvaeus is wearing. Seriously, what's going on with that?
