ESTEFAN BACK ON DANCING SHOW AFTER CANCELLATION

GLORIA ESTEFAN will hit the dancefloor on U.S. reality show DANCING WITH THE STARS on Tuesday (13Nov07) after postponing a recent appearance to care for her ailing mum. The Latina cancelled a performance on the show last month (Oct07) after cancelling all her commitments to spend time with her sick mother, but she has rescheduled the appearance. She says, "I'll be on to fulfil my commitment. I was really sad that I had to cancel. But I had to be with my mom, no two ways about it. She was really, really ill." The singer's mother, Gloria Fajardo, was at one point fighting for her life in an intensive care unit in a Miami, Florida hospital after emergency surgery. Doctors discovered an intestinal rupture that had caused a severe infection and opted to operate on the 78-year-old.
