She's the ageless Queen of Latin Pop who had the crowd on their feet during her incredible performance at the American Music Awards in May, and after 50 years in the industry, Gloria Estefan's star is shining brighter than ever.
With her brand-new studio album Raices (Spanish for roots) making waves around the world, it's easy to forget that behind the 67-year-old's infectious smile, one horrific accident almost set her life on a completely different course.
LIFE-CHANGING CRASHThirty-five years after a semitrailer crashed into Gloria's tour bus in Pennsylvania, fracturing her spine and leaving her temporarily paralysed, the Grammy Award winning star has revealed the enormous life lessons that have shaped who she is now.
