Ironically the opening of Mamma Mia! at The Paramount in Seattle coincides with the tragic accidentaly death of ABBA drummer Ola Brunkert who was found dead in his Mallorca, Spain home over the weekend.
Police believe the drummer may have fallen against a glass partition that separated his kitchen from his garden, causing the glass to break and fatally cut his throat.
Brunkert was not one of the four famous members of ABBA, but was a studio drummer who played on all of their albums.
