All the Berggren siblings have such beautiful, piercing eyes. Linn was especially beautful. I bet she still is. No ammount of age, weight, or anything could change that. 😭😭😭
Oh what a massive shame for this very talented singer. My heart goes out to you for having to endure this. Crazy people will always spoil things. I will remember your voice and the bands sound forever. I hope the rest of your life is much better and safer x
I totally agree. At the same way, we fans have the right to finally understand what the collective evidence shows: Linn never cared about her fans, then stopped caring about her band, and even making music
@@giannabarret9262 This is the exact reason artists quit, because fans are expecting something in return and can become aggressive. An artist is merely providing a service, whoever likes it, buys it, end of transaction, they don't owe anything else to anyone.

Very sad story indeed ,especially when Linn had a special voice & looks to go with it .Life is too short to have regrets & hope this isn't one of them for her .
Ace of Base is one of those bands that I've always enjoyed listening to throughout the years and likely this will remain to be the case until the end of my days. Never heard a voice like Malinn again, very distinct and such a pleasure to the ears!
I missed Malin and all the group very much, Love Ace of Base from IRAN. In my idea, now the world needs Linn more than 90's There is so many wars and bad news in the world now and Linn can help people by her art, magic voice, kind heart and peaceful message (in my imaginations, i see Malin Berggren as UN Ambassador for Peace) 💐 what a beautiful wish 🙏
I am happy that nobody was hurt in the incident with the obsessed fan. It shows how cold and uncaring the business can be. Making her record a record when she didn't want to.
I believe she’s changed her name and appearance is a successful business owner. She lives happily with her partner and dogs as a private citizen. You would walk past her in the street these days.
I remember hearing something about a fan that broke into one of the sister's houses with a knife. and that Lynn was traumatized by it and that was the last straw as she had already wanted to back out of the lime light. What I find strange is that there are NO recent photos of her on the internet. Not a family Photo, or paparazzi photo. I don't want to say she is dead as that would have leaked too by now...... This woman is good at staying to herself.

I loved ace of base and they hit the charts in a much needed infusion in the heavily focus on rap and alternative rock. I still love their music and hate that a crazy fan changed their course. I hope they are all doing well and miss their time in the American charts .
I remember, moving to Scandinavia in 1992, during one of the warmest, driest summers ever… everyone had suntans, Denmark had won the European Football Championships… and then I heard Ace of Bass ‘Wheel of Fortune’… They BLEW MY MIND…. What a great summer that was…
Except agnetha never ghost her fans, never divorced from music totally, never abandoned her band in the middle of a tour, never jeopardized her band's legal contact agreement with the record companies
She did not "disappear" she made her money and said...."I have enough and now want to live a normal life". She was nott absolutely addicted to money like most.
To me she is still sensational and the best linn her voice made the band felt alive hope she is well wherever she is hope to hear good things of her and the band there music is amazing will never die
I had a somewhat popular local heavymetal/rock band. And I hated to be popular (and on our local level we were for quite some time). So I perfectly understand how she felt.
Para entender realmente por qué Linn abandonó este mundo de fama deben contar la verdad,la fan alemana que entró en casa de la familia solo la buscaba a ella,eso hizo que Linn se sintiera culpable del peligro en el que estuvo Jenny,esa loca fanática era una obsesionada con conocer en persona y hablar con Linn,no solo fue ese caso el que la hizo tomar la decisión,en otra ocasión un fan entró en su habitación de un hotel,en otra detuvieron a otro fan intentando entrar en la habitación de Linn en otro hotel,al parecer la seguían muchos fanáticos peligrosamente obsesionados con ella.Malinn decidió que no quería seguir con ese pánico en su vida.
@@RicardoLopez-pj1yn Cierto y debe ser muy difícil vivir con ese pánico,sobre todo cuando ella es una persona más espiritual e intelectual que no deseaba realmente tener toda esa atención y fama.Pero hay que conocer bien la historia de cómo era acosada por fanáticos y fanáticas,y el peligro que tenía ella y los que se interpusieran entre ella y sus fans más alocados.Solo Linn sufrió ese problema,el resto del grupo afortunadamente no tenían a esa gente loca persiguiéndoles.
poor girl I wish her well in her solace and that she has a great and wonderful life God Bless and be with her always...........by the way ........Thank you very much for your music Linn
i completely undertstand her decision, because some people, including myself...no matter how famous they are, just like a life of privacy and anoymity....
Millions of people break their backs and go to extremes hoping that they could have what she attained, and she instead ran from it. It's weird how things work out.
Malin had an amazing voice but she just wasn’t made to be a famous singer all her life. I think I’d be the same if I could sing. She hates flying and had to take so many flights.
It was a very unfortunate event with this crazy, literally crazy woman that has changed everything and ruined a very promising career of this beautiful and talented singer. Sometimes being beautiful and talented can become a curse when so many crazies hover around in this world.
I don't blame her one damned bit and I hope she's happy now. I had some success in the 80's in the music industry and had to tour the U.S. and Europe and I totally hated it. It's not at all like what I imagined it would be and I was perfectly happy to put it all behind me and just have a quiet life after that.
It's funny how this mirrors ABBA with Agnetha Fältskog with not wanting to perform anymore. Just wants quiet life out of the spotlight. I was hoping to see an Ace Of Base reunion at Eurovision, but sadly, no.
After what happened to Christina Grimmie (and mind you, she wasn’t even an A-list celebrity) I wouldn’t want “fame” or anything that comes along with it 👎🏽
People don't know the real reason she has an argument with her brother.. I think she wanted to do a solo project cause the American label wanted her as solo artist
Agree, we all do. However it's also clear she never gave a F about her fans and her band and eventually even music itself. I have very mixed feelings about her
I've thought about this a lot. I agree with you, her decision to withdraw was correct as otherwise would've ended up another washed up addict with a horrible face. But choosing to withdraw is one thing; not giving a F about her fans is another. For a counter example look at Jenny Jonas Ulf, they all do many things to show fans they care
For example did you check out the two John Ballard interviews? If we listen to such stories, it becomes clear she never cared. About us, about making music
Linn lives next to Jonas in Gothenburg, has a partner and we can assume she's happy. She's not living in a hut in a forest somewhere, away from other people. She just isn't seen in public. Paparazzi could find her, but they just don't care, Ace of Base is old news even in Sweden.
Not a single image of her for more than 20 yrs. Don't hate me but sometimes it makes me think that she's already dead. If she's still alive i wish her all the best.
Their mom suffered cuts because the crazed fan had a knife to Jenny's throat demanding Linn. That woman is banned from ever entering Sweden again. It's sad that some "fans" take it to the extreme😊
It is not very good to be extraordinary. If someone is like that and is publicly known, it depends a lot on how he can deal with it. Many can't make it, they succumb to drugs, alcohol... I wouldn't want this life and I wouldn't want to have this talent, thank God I don't have it, because if I knew myself, I know I wouldn't be able to do it. Know yourself and you will be clear about who you are and what your options are.
i stop listening to AOB after linn's gone.. its never the same. she is the main vocal. So the german madwoman is her curse and she left the music industry.
Jenny was the one waking up to a crazy german woman that broke into the house. I then would assume Jenny would be the one taking a step back into anonymity. Instead it was Linn that wanted to leave the spotlight.
@@johnsmith-ir1ne Está tudo bem, a insistência do Clive Davis para que a Malin gravasse a faixa ETIR de fato quebrou o conjunto. Mas tu não pensas que é estranho ou confuso o fato de ETIR estar em repertório do disco da Malin, que foi lançado, recentemente em agosto em Polônia?
On the one hand, these vids are basically content farms. On the other hand, it helps keep the band's attention in the public, which is important so that their music doesn't fade away
You stupid @$$...it affects you the same especially to those close to you regardless of your whereabouts.

And so naturally beautiful and charismatic as well! Timeless.

Malin has such a special voice!
We still miss her, but in my case: I respect her choice, I thank her for giving us so much with her voice.
Same. I don't wish any harm to happen to her.
Yes we still have the recordings she made.

Lynn has a very unique and one of a kind voice ..it has been missed.

A simple life has it's charm.🌅🌄

Many similarities with Agnetha Fältskog in terms of quick rise to fame, fan obsession and wanting to be away from the limelight.
Except agnetha never ghost her fans, never divorced from music totally, never abandoned her band in the middle of a tour, never jeopardized her band's legal contact agreement with the record companies
@@johnsmith-ir1neReally? Oof.
She did not "disappear" she made her money and said...."I have enough and now want to live a normal life". She was nott absolutely addicted to money like most.
She´s still cashing in on royalties 😉
That's said cuz she was the best in band and has a beautiful voice. I believe she was humble and truly a artist and didn't care much about fame.

To me she is still sensational and the best linn her voice made the band felt alive hope she is well wherever she is hope to hear good things of her and the band there music is amazing will never die
