AQUA fans are going wild after discovering the 90s band is returning 20 years after Barbie Girl – and the lead singer Lene Nystrøm looks EXACTLY the same.
They’ve set their sights on performing at Coachella in April after announcing their nostalgia tour.
And as excitement builds for their return, fans have been surprised by how 46-year-old Lene has managed to avoid ageing over the past two decades.
She’s totally transformed her look from short red hair to long brunette locks.
One fan said: “Lene Nystrom from Aqua was the first singer I was attracted to in 1997 and she still looks amazing.”
Another added: “How do you all look 100x better than you did in the 90s?! Wth.”
Someone else said: “Lene Nystrom is one of the most beautiful women on the face of the earth.”
Formed in 1989, the band was made up of singers Lene Nystrøm and René Dif (the bald one), the spikey-haired keyboardist Søren Rasted and guitarist Claus Norreen.
Danish dance group stormed the charts with their catchy hit Barbie Girl in 1997.
Barbie girl was such a smash that even the makers of the Barbie doll, Mattel, tried to sue the group because they didn’t like the sexual nature of the song being linked to the toy.
The lawsuit was eventually dismissed by a judge in 2002, who ruled “the parties are advised to chill”.
Revealing plans for future hits, Lene said in a YouTube interview: “We’re working on new music but we are our own toughest judges.
“We will not release anything until it’s absolutely perfect.
“We are crossing our fingers that something amazing will come out of it.”
