Saw on tik tok some news regarding one of the family of Abba, I didn’t want to post anything incase it’s inappropriate, whether a moderator could confirm by private message etc. this is just a fan site so didn’t want to post anything disrespectful or if anyone offended.

Grandson of Frida died, the mother (daughter of Frida) died in 1998. The grandson Jonathan struggled with cancer. I cannot confirm if this news is the truth. If so: what a summary of tragedies Frida did experience during her live. And if so: all my prayers and wishes of strenght go to her.

I really hope this isn’t true - I can’t find anything - but I suspect it might be. Horrible news if so.

I've found several things regarding Jonathan but I will refrain from posting them in case this news isn't true.

Someone sent me a link to where the info in Mark’s post came from: rector-hicksfuneralhome.com/tribute/details/1236/Jonathan-Casper/obituary.html#tribute-startI am surmising that they want to keep this a private family matter, as he actually died nearly four weeks ago. I’ve not seen this announced anywhere else in the ABBA online community and even Frida’s entry in Wikipedia makes no mention of it. As the link above appears to be legitimate, and the information is in the public domain, I am not going to delete the topic. However, I would suggest not mentioning it anywhere else online. I dare say most of the ABBA online community will be aware of it but might not welcome anyone actually saying it.
