Last month, Agnetha Faltskog, , Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were brought back together in Sweden.
The Waterloo icons were made Commander of the First Class of the prestigious Order of the Vasa — the first time in almost 50 years the honour had been given.
They picked up their honours from Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf following a nomination process involving the public and the Swedish .
But while discussing the ‘great honour’ on the podcast Rosebud With Gyles Brandreth, Bjorn stated it could be the ‘last occasion’ they reunite.
‘We stood there quietly, accepting it out of the king’s hand and him saying a few words, it was a very quiet and very elegant ceremony,’ he said in the episode released on Friday.
The honour is not a knighthood, so Bjorn will not be known as a sir but it is still a huge moment for the group and Swedish music.
Bjorn continued: ‘All four of us of course were there… in public (we see each other) very rarely, and Frida (Lyngstad, also known as Reuss) said to me afterwards, “this might be the last occasion”.
‘Very sad, and I thought about that afterwards, but we’re not getting any younger.’
It has been over four decades since Abba last performed together live, with the quartet even skipping the 50th anniversary of their win at Eurovision this year.
This disappointed viewers, albeit slightly placated by the appearance of their digital Abba-tars as the interval act.

This could also be how Abba as Benny and Bjorn teased the idea at the anniversary of Abba Voyage in May.
At a Q&A at the Abba Arena, host Pete Paphides suggested that the Voyage live band could go to Worthy Farm, to which Bjorn excitedly replied: ‘Oh yes!’
‘I think that’s a brilliant idea,’ he added as Benny joked: ‘You’d need to ask the band.
In April, Bjorn also joined the cast of the London musical Mamma Mia!, which uses Abba music, to celebrate its 25 years in the West End by speaking to the audience.
This celebration also marked the Swedish band triumphing with their song Waterloo in Brighton on April 6, 1974.
The musical show premiered in London on the same day in 1999.
