We love and miss you so much.” Wellander accompanied the legendary group of Swedish music (Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad) in the seventies and eighties, those in which they achieved worldwide popularity, but he was also present in “Voyage”, the album reunion del 2021.
