ABBA's members, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, issued a statement expressing their “deepest sorrow” and calling the loss of their “most loved friend and closest colleague” immeasurable. Hanser played a pivotal role in ABBA's career, starting as a secretary for Stig Anderson's publishing company before managing the band's record label connections, accompanying them on tours, and handling press relations. She was instrumental in the band's 2018 reunion, being the one to share the initial behind-the-scenes photographs of the group back in the recording studio. ABBA famously recorded the exclusive track “Sång Till Görel” for her 30th birthday in 1979, a rare collectable that paid tribute to her exceptional organisational skills and tireless dedication to the group.
