One of the most famous pop bands of the 1990s has reunited for a TV documentary that aims to reveal their shocking story.
Ace Of Base produced three chart-topping singles after forming in 1987, including their biggest hits All That She Wants, The Sign and Don’t Turn Around.
Now the group – consisting of siblings Jonas, Linn and Jenny Berggren as well as Ulf Ekberg – is set to appear in the documentary “All That She Wants: The Unbelievable Story of Ace of Base,” which will air in 2024.
In the show, Ace Of Base recalls how Ulf Ekberg was confronted with death threats from right-wing extremists.
Ulf was even forced to perform with a bulletproof vest and hired bodyguards during the band’s world tours.

Jenny Berggren will also reveal she was attacked in her home by a German fan.
In 2015, Ace Of Base enjoyed a mini-revival when the band released a compilation album of their biggest hits between 1991 and 2005.
Between 1992 and 2002 they released four albums that sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making them the third most successful Swedish band of all time after ABBA and Roxette.
They performed at the World Music Awards and a concert celebrating Princess Victoria of Sweden’s 20th birthday in 1997.
After Berggren and her sister Malin left the band in 2009, her brother Jonas and band member Ulf Ekberg recruited two new singers.
After leaving the band in 2009, Jenny was forced to cancel a 1,200-seat charity gig in her home country of Sweden after selling just 12 tickets.
Organizers Bellwether Productions said they would need to sell at least 450 tickets to break even.

His spokesman George Jonasson said: “Despite the huge interest, attention and engagement on social, national and local media, we are forced to cancel the event.”
“The reason for this is that we did not manage to sell enough tickets. Anyone who has already paid will receive a full refund.”
In 2015, Ulf told ABC News that he did not think reunification was “impossible,” but only with “the right elements in the next few years.”
But in 2016, Jenny wasn’t so sure
However, Jenny didn’t seem so sure, telling News.com.au: “We won’t be regrouping.” […] We’re done working together, but we’re not done being a family. “We have a lot of fun plans for the future, but no musical plans.”
In 2018, Jones hinted that a reunion had been discussed, but Linn would never return.
