Madonna breaks silence on brother Christopher's death

Madonna has paid a moving tribute to her late brother Christopher Gerard Ciccone.

As per People, Christopher died due to cancer with his husband by his side on October 4, 2024.

The Material Girl hitmaker shared that her late brother was the closest human to her for the longest time.

Madonna wrote in an emotional note on Instagram, "Its hard to explain our bond. But it grew out of an understanding that we were different and society was going to give us a hard time for not following the status quo.”

She added, “We took each other‘s hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood. In fact, dance was a kind of superglue that held us together. Discovering dance in our small Midwestern town saved me and then my brother came along, and it saved him too."

The Borderline singer also revealed that when she finally got the courage to go to New York to become a Dancer, Christopher followed her.

“I admired him. He had impeccable taste. And a sharp tongue, Which he sometimes used against me but I always forgave him,” she gushed.

All of Madonna’s siblings attended the funeral including Martin, Paula, Melanie, Jennifer and Mario.
