It's not the same... these last couple days felt different. On Saturday, 13 June 2026, ABBA's long time manager and closest friend Görel Hanser passed away. We all feel sorrow in our own way. Some new her, some even met her... some talked with her over letters or over email... She was the centre of the ABBA world...the love bridge between ABBA and the fans. She was the one that kept the ABBA magic alive over all the decades, even when it felt like it was over. She was the kindest and sweetest person and always loved to help. She did all she could and even went beyond to fulfill fans wishes whenever she could. She cared for us fans in a way most other managers wouldn't... She was one of the closest people to all four ABBA members... she knew them before ABBA even existed and stayed with them to the very end. She worked with Benny daily at Mono Music and she was part of so many things. She will be missed. We all love her and adore her. What's your favourite memory of Görel? Have you ever met her? Maybe wrote to her?
Sov gott Görel, du finns i våra hjärtan för alltid. You will never be forgotten Görel. ❤️
