SUPREMES STAR RETURNS TO THE STAGE AFTER HEART SCARE

Former THE SUPREMES star MARY WILSON terrifies her backing band every time she performs live - because they're convinced she'll die in front of them.

The soul star avoided a heart attack by minutes last year (05) when a Mother's Day family meal at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada ended with an emergency trip to the hospital.

She explains, "I had just done a gig in Arizona and I came home for Mother's Day; I was sitting down with my three grandchildren and my family, having some Japanese food and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe.

"I thought it was heartburn. Eventually, it got so bad I told my daughter take me to the hospital and I went there and they said, 'Yes, you're close to having a heart attack.'

"They found three arteries that were clogged and so we had to do something about that and we had three angioplasties."

But fearless Wilson is back on the road, making her backing band's hearts skip a beat every night.

She adds, "I have done about three gigs and I felt great. My band was so afraid that I was going to pass out on stage and I'm moving around, jumping around... Everything's fine."
