ABBA mourn death of sound engineer Michael B Tretow
ABBA are mourning the loss of their former sound engineer Michael B Tretow. The music industry veteran's death was announced on Tuesday (20.05.25) and now the stars of ABBA have all released statements paying tribute to their pal, who worked with them as a sound engineer in the 1970s before becoming a producer, with bandmember Benny Andersson crediting Michael with making their music sound "timeless". Benny said in a statement: "You meant more to us four in ABBA than anyone else. I hope and believe that you felt it throughout all the years that have passed since we worked (and continuously laughed) in the studio. "Our music lives on, it seems, and you are the one who made it timeless. You were a fantastic inspirer and joy-maker. And the finest sound engineer the world has ever seen. I miss you. And I've saved all your coconuts!" Bjorn Ulvaeus added: "His significance for ABBA cannot be overestimated. He was a warm, generous person and a good friend. Thanks, Micke, for all the laughs!" Anni-Frid Lyngstad added her own message in a statement given to Aftonbladet, saying: "You were the security in our little studio bubble with your never-ending creativity, warmth and joy, and no one fit the bill as well as you! "For us, you are forever part of the ABBA sound and you will never be forgotten!" Agnetha Faltskog also shared a statement and revealed she was able to spend time with Michael in the weeks before his death. She said: "So glad I got to spend some time with you a few weeks ago ... You were so sick, but your laughter and humor were still there ... "So many memories are preserved, your encouraging words during the recordings meant so much. We are sad now, a talented and unique person has left us. Sleep well Micke, you are in our hearts forever." Michael started his career at Metronome Studios in Stockholm in 1967 before starting work with ABBA and joining their Polar Studios in the 1970s. He became studio manager and worked with the band on albums including 'Waterloo' and 'Super Trouper' as well as rejoining Anni-Frid and Agnetha on their solo material.

Green Bay Police Officer saves a life & finds a new furry friend, adopts stray puppy she brought to shelter
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – A police officer in Green Bay didn't just save a puppy's life, she also made a friend for life. The Wisconsin Humane Society's Green Bay Campus posted on Facebook regarding Officer Micke, who found a puppy shivering under a bush after a report of a loose dog. Girl Scout sets sights on ambitious goal: Sell cookies to all 72 Wisconsin County Sheriff's Offices Officer Micke didn't realize at the time of rescue that she found the next member of her family, as she brought the stray puppy 'Liquorice' to the Green Bay Campus of the Wisconsin Humane Society. She requested a hold on Liquorice when bringing her into the shelter, just in case Liquorice ended up unredeemed by the end of the shelter's stray hold. Wisconsin Humane Society Media Specialist Corey Viars said he was going to bring Liquorice in for Local 5's Pet Saver on Friday, but he saw the adoption hold and learned it was from Officer Micke. Appleton police sergeant retires after nearly three decades, was first Hmong officer in department history 'When she comes in, let me know so I can take a picture,' Viars said. '[Officer Micke] told me the story about how she rescued Liquorice and on the way to the shelter, they fell in love.' A story that seemed out of a fairy tale became official a week later, as Officer Micke adopted Liquorice and brought her home, finding a furry little friend for life.
