He became the Eurovision-winning band's main guitarist and toured with them in 1975, 1977, 1979 and 1980.
guitarist Lasse Wellander has died at 70 years old, the musician's family announced. The Sweden native died on Friday, April 7 after a battle with cancer.
"You were an amazing musician and humble as few, but above all you were a wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. Kind, safe, caring and loving... and so much more, that cannot be described in words. A hub in our lives, and it's unbelievable that we now have to live on without you."
Wellander began his career as a guitarist as a child in the early sixties and was a member of local bands in his hometown of Nora, Sweden. In addition to his work with ABBA, Wellander has released seven solo albums, two of which entered the Top 40 album charts in the mid-1980s.
