ET breaks sad "Dancing with the Stars" news.

ET breaks news that JANE SEYMOUR's mother MIEKE FRANKENBERG has died. She passed away in England due to complications from a stroke she suffered earlier this year. She was 92. Jane will not be on "Dancing With The Stars" tonight as she is currently on her way to England to be with her family to attend services.

"My mother survived incredible challenges ... her health issues that she never complained about ... three and half years in a Japanese concentration camp in World War II and the loss of her husband JOHN who was the love of her life," Jane said in a statement. "However, she was always a beacon of love and hope for all she met and especially for my sisters ANNE and SALLY and for our entire family. Her spirit was indomitable and will continue to live forever in our hearts."

Jane told our KEVIN FRAZIER last month that she had been asked to be on DWTS three times before but had declined because of a serious health problem with her mother.

"I was commuting back and forth to England to see my mom who's had a stroke, and she can't move except for one hand and she can't talk," she told Kevin.

But after finding out the show was her mom's favorite, she signed on. "Miraculously when I called her on the phone and my sister put her on and I said, 'I'm doing this, in your honor,' and she went, 'YES.'"

How will this affect "Dancing with the Stars"? Stay tuned for this developing story...
