Is there any band more iconic, beloved, or ridiculous than ABBA? The 1970s disco-pop group came to an unfortunate end decades ago, as you might expect of any band that consists of two married couples. For almost four decades their music has still enjoyed major popularity, but now they're finally releasing something new. The band teased fans with a mysterious new project called 'ABBA Voyage.' It's expected that the project will be the hologram tour the band announced back in 2016 but never materialized. They also released five brand new songs - their first new release in 39 years.

One Direction -

Can you hear the screams of boy band fans growing in the distance? That might be because Liam Payne officially confirmed on Instagram Live that a One Direction reunion is happening. Rumors had been swirling that Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan would get together for their 10-year anniversary, but Zayn Malik may also be returning as the guys followed him back on Twitter and Malik is no longer listed as an "ex-member" of the band on Google. What's more, the official 1D website has also been reactivated after its hiatus since 2016.

Spice Girls - It all began in 1998 when Geri Halliwell, or Ginger Spice, decided to break off from the group and start her own solo career. The Spice Girls were never the same, and a couple years later they went off to try their hand at solo careers of their own. They got back together for a 2007 reunion tour, then performed at the Olympics in 2012. The group, sans Victoria Beckham, also enjoyed a UK tour in 2019.

Queen - Contrary to 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' in 1983 the band was just burned out from being on the road for a decade, so they took a brief hiatus, which is when Freddie Mercury released his solo album. They soon picked up where they left off, and it was Mercury's untimely death that caused the next break. Brian May and Roger Taylor weren't done, however, and the remainder of Queen has since toured with Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert.

OutKast - Big Boi and André 3000 parted ways in 2006 after producing a soundtrack for the musical film 'Idlewild.' Their comeback began at the 2014 Coachella festival. While it never produced new music, there were lots of jumpsuits, of course.

The Police - After a particularly horrible 1986 studio session, the band broke up and Sting focused on his solo career. At that time, the other members said they would never come together. But surprisingly, in 2007 The Police came together and performed in a one-off 151-date tour, making a lot of money, and becoming the world's highest-earning musicians in 2008.

No Doubt - Formed in 1986, No Doubt has had its fair share of bumps. When Tony Kanal broke up with Gwen Stefani, the fate of the group was shaken. The lead singer left in 2004 to pursue solo work, releasing her hugely popular 'Love. Angel. Music. Baby.' Though the band later reunited, made 'Push and Shove,' and toured together after that, they have let things fizzle, and the members formed another group without Stefani.

Fall Out Boy - One of the most popular bands of the 2000s announced their breakup in 2009, but they surprised everyone in 2013 when they got back together and put out 'Save Rock n Roll.'

Blink-182 - The band decided to take a break in 2005 when Tom DeLonge quit, but four years later the members came together to work on 'Neighborhoods,' which was released in 2011. Though they survived one hiatus, the band was rocked again in 2015 after Tom DeLonge, once again, quit. Since then, the band has consisted of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba.

Destiny's Child - After releasing a pair of albums in 2001, Destiny's Child went on hiatus and returned in 2004 with 'Destiny Fulfilled.' Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams then transitioned into solo careers, but 2013 saw them together on stage again at the Super Bowl.

The Monkees - The Monkees' original run ended in 1971, after their disappointing 1970 album 'Changes,' but with support from MTV and Nickelodeon, they regrouped for a successful 20th anniversary tour in 1986.

KISS - In 2000, Gene Simmons announced that his band had achieved everything it needed to, claiming he wanted to go out in style. Two years later, the band returned to the live arena.

Backstreet Boys - The American boy band formed in 1993 and consisted of AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell. In 2005, it all seemed over when Richardson left the group to concentrate on himself, but in 2012 he rejoined the group for their 20th anniversary and they've toured together ever since (not to mention their successful Las Vegas residency).

Soundgarden - Initially formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, and Hiro Yamamoto (soon replaced by Ben Shepherd), the band that pioneered grunge in the US sadly dissolved in 1997, only to reunite in 2010 with a new album and tour dates. Just as they were gearing up for another album, Cornell tragically took his own life in 2017. The surviving members reunited for the last time in January 2019 for a tribute concert.

Blondie - The punk/new wave band fronted by Debbie Harry floated on a string of hits in the late '70s and early '80s, but for a long time their disappointing 1982 LP 'The Hunter' seemed like the end. However, the group reunited 15 years later and have been together ever since.

Take That - The young English boy band of the '90s left many fans heartbroken by taking a sudden break from singing, which consequently happened after Robbie Williams decided to go solo in 1995. A fight between band members worsened the divide, but miraculously, in 2010, the group decided to come together again, though Williams still only had one foot in.

Weezer - Known by many as "rock 'n' roll dads," the band experienced challenges when one of their best bassists, Matt Sharp, left in 1998. The '90s were a tough time for Weezer, with many changes in their lineup and a hiatus to worry about, but they somehow got it together by the early 2000s and released 'The Green Album.'

A Tribe Called Quest - The pioneers of alternative hip-hop have had quite a bumpy ride, beginning in 1998 when the band broke up shortly before releasing its fifth album.

Sex Pistols - The English punk band, formed in 1975, made history with their very short initial career of just two and a half years. In January 1978, vocalist Johnny Rotten announced their breakup. One year later, Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose following his arrest for the alleged murder of his girlfriend. In 1996, all the surviving members reunited for the Filthy Lucre Tour and staged further reunion shows up until 2008, though they haven't been well-received.

The Velvet Underground - With a complicated history of resentment, strong personalities, discrepancies about who's in the band, and tension between Lou Reed and John Cale, their 1992 reunion was a surprise, and a slow one at that.

Van Halen - After six years of silence, the Van Halen boys reunited with Sammy Hagar to record an album and go on tour, which turned out to be disastrous, as Eddie Van Halen struggled with alcoholism, and Hagar eventually quit, taking the bassist with him.

Guns N' Roses - The band was an incredible force, but for a long time it seemed 1993 would remain the last time Axl Rose would ever perform with guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan. In 2016, however, the three buried the hatchet and reunited, performing on tours and at festivals.

The Who - The band was rocked by the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. Their tour in 1982 to support their album 'It's Hard' (their last studio album until 2006) seemed to be their last. Slowly, however, they got back into the groove and started a full tour again in 1989, continuing to this day, minus Moon and bassist John Entwistle, who died in 2002.

Led Zeppelin - Two months after the tragic death of drummer John Bonham, Led Zeppelin announced they were disbanding while promoting their 1979 album 'In Through the Out Door.' Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones reunited at 1985's Live Aid concert, and again in 1988, though they were not well-received. In 2007, they reunited again for charity, and Bonham's son Jason filled his place on the drums.

Cream - The rock super-group, which included guitarist/singer Eric Clapton, bassist/singer Jack Bruce, and drummer Ginger Baker, only initially lasted three years, from 1966 to 1968. They all reunited in 1993 for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and again in 2005, for four shows in London's Royal Albert Hall. Sadly, Bruce and Baker have since passed on.

Sleater-Kinney - Loved by almost every rock music fan in the US for a significant time in the '90s, the group sadly split in 2005 for a variety of reasons, including solo careers, personal projects, and motherhood. To everyone's surprise, they reunited in 2014 and released the album 'No Cities To Love,' following it up with a number of concerts to mark their 10-year absence. What's more, they're still releasing new music!

Pulp -

Pulp was one of the coolest Britpop bands in the mid-to-late '90s, largely due to charismatic front man Jarvis Cocker, but they broke up in 2002. The band reunited in 2010 and toured the world, even earning themselves a 2014 documentary.

Fleetwood Mac -

Some of the most acrimonious splits have come from this iconic band, which can teach us all a lesson about dating fellow band members (don't). They disintegrated in the '80s, reunited for Bill Clinton's inauguration, reunited again in 1997, saw a bit more success, saw Lindsey Buckingham fired, and you can still see them on tour!

Bands who reunited—for better or worse

The Fugees are reuniting for a 25th-anniversary tour

22/09/21 | StarsInsider

MUSIC Reunions

The Fugees were one of the biggest hip-hop influences of the 1990s. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel created the band together, giving it a name that referenced their Haitian origins. (The word 'fugee' was a shortened version of refugee, often used to refer to Haitian immigrants.) Despite their success, the band stopped working together after the release of their second album, 'The Score.' Like ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, interpersonal relationships within the group caused their downfall. A married Wyclef Jean had an affair with his bandmate, Lauryn Hill.

Relationships broke down after that and the band never released their third album or went on tour again. That is, until now! The Fugees have announced that they are finally reuniting to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of 'The Score.' They haven't toured together for 25 years or performed on stage together for 15 years. The tour will take them around the US, UK, Europe, and Africa at the end of 2021.
