One of the legendary musicians of all time, Sir Elton John, took his official Instagram account to pay his tribute to Kelly Asbury, who died two days ago at the age of 60 and shared his feelings about this devastating news.
Kelly was an animated film director known for his works in films like Shrek 2 and Gnomeo & Juliet. Also, he contributed to the storyboard of Frozen. Two days ago, he passed away after losing the battle against abdominal cancer.
Elton mentioned the times they work together with Kelly in the caption and stated that he is so proud of knowing Kelly. Furthermore, Elton praised Kelly’s talent by saying that he admired and respected his pure skills. Lastly, Elton prayed for his soul and mourned his legacy.
Here is what Elton John said:
“The greatest compliment I can give to Kelly Asbury is that I admired and respected his talent so much that I trusted putting my catalog of songs into his hands for Gnomeo & Juliet.
He more than lived up to that trust, and I am so proud of the film we all created together. The words below from David Furnish say it all. RIP Kelly and heartfelt condolences to Jacquie and his family.”
