Gloria Estefan To Quit Music? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Veteran pop singer Gloria Estefan has vowed her upcoming Latin America tour will be her last - insisting she won't perform any more concerts after April this year.

The Cuban-American announced last year that she would be cutting back the amount of time she spends on tour in order to focus on spending time with her 14-year-old daughter, Emily Marie. And now Estefan has decided to quit life on the road for good - because she wants to put her family before her music career.

She says, "It is an end to something that began many years ago, in 1975, and it is a dream to be able to do it in Latin America. These will be the last concerts I do, after I want to focus on my daughter, who is going to high school, and continue working in other areas."

And the star is adamant she won't be bored with life at home because she has numerous other projects on the go. She adds, "We have eight restaurants, three hotels; I am working on a third book and on films."

Estefan kicks off her final dates on April 9th in Uruguay, with dates in Chile, Argentina and Peru before her final curtain call scheduled on April 23rd in Ecuador.
