Mike Mora, Kelis' husband of seven years, passed away on March 13, according to Evan Ross, son of music icon Diana Ross. Evan announced the news via Instagram, using a black and white photo of the late photographer.
“We lost a brother Yesterday,” he wrote in a since-deleted post. “We will truly miss you Mike. Thinking of some of the great times we all spent together. You and @naztokio recording me at @dallasaustins studio in atlanta. First time I had ever really recording a record in the studio. You made it feel easy and safe.
“Everything I saw you do. Was built in passion. I loved connecting again with you. Hearing about your children and the life you and your wife have built. Im sending all the prayers and love to your family brother. @kelis RIP @mikemorafoto.”
Mora announced via Instagram in October 2017 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and given just 18 months to live. As Mora noted in one of his posts, he first became suspicious after experiencing debilitating stomach pains earlier this year.
