Singer Kelis loses her 37-year-old husband to cancer | celebrities

“After a tough battle of more than two years, it is with a heavy heart that we confirm that we have said goodbye to Mike. An amazing father, husband and friend who cared deeply about his family and friends,” the statement said. “During this difficult time, we ask that you respect the privacy of Kelis and that of her family.”

Mora shared on Instagram in October that he had metastatic cancer and that his doctors gave him 18 months to live. He hoped to help and inspire others with his openness about his illness. “You often see that people share that life is too short. That you should be there for the people you love, no matter how life goes. That is the truth. Don’t take your time here on earth for granted, the time with your friends and family. It could be over in no time.”

In another post on social media, Kelis’s husband also wrote that he “never expected something like this to happen to him”. “I am barely 36 years old, have three children and a wife who loves me.” At first, Mora just thought he had an ulcer. After he lost his appetite and the pain in his stomach and back got worse and worse, he went to the hospital. There, Kelis’s husband was told that he had metastatic stomach cancer. “I had no idea what was in store for me and then I lay there, in a hospital bed, in the middle of the pandemic. All alone.”

Kelis, known for hits like ‘Milkshake’ and ‘Trick Me’, and Mora were married in 2014. They have two children together, aged 6 and 1. Kelis also has a 12-year-old son from her relationship with rapper Nas.
