The world of music has suffered another loss. Madonna Ciccone, the legendary US singer, mourns the loss of her younger brother Christopher, who died of cancer at the age of 63. This sad news was published by the family through a speaker. At the time of his death, Christopher was surrounded by his husband, the British actor Ray Thacker, and other close people.

This message hits Madonna's older brother, Anthony Ciccone, who has also become 66 years old just a few months after the loss of Madonna's older brother. These strokes of fate demand tireless strength and cohesion from the family.

emotional homage to the brother

Madonna thought to her brother on the occasion of his death in a deeply moving Instagram contribution. In her emotional post, she describes her intimate connection with him and emphasizes: "He was the next person for me for as long". The siblings often felt as an outsider in her small hometown, which led to a special bond between them. "We took each other by the hand and danced through the madness of our childhood," she added.

The common passion for dance had shaped it and serves in her memories as a kind of "super glue" that gave her and her gay brother together. It is noteworthy how deep these family connections go and what role the dance played for their emotional support.

a life full of creativity and cooperation

Madonna, one of the most successful artists in music history, grew up with seven siblings in the US state of Michigan. Her brother Christopher followed her in her early career to New York, where he supported her as a personal assistant, dancer, decorator and later as a tour manager. Later he found his own way as a shoe designer and interior designer.

in New York, reports Madonna, they would have consumed art, music and film "like hungry animals" and danced through the "chaos of the AIDS epidemic". This creative environment promoted the artistic talents of both siblings. She describes Christopher as a "painter, poet and visionary", which makes him all the more important in her life.

But not everything was always harmonious. The relationship of the siblings had their depths. After the publication of Christopher Ciccones book "My Sister Madonna and I" in 2008, in which he wrote about his time alongside the pop icon, there were tensions between the two. Reports from the United States showed that this burdened the relationship.

Despite these difficulties, they ultimately found each other again. Madonna admits that there were times when they had no contact, but the relationship seemed to relax through Christopher's illness. She is relieved that her brother is now freed from his suffering.

These tragic events throw a light on the often complicated dynamics within families, especially in the light of fame and the challenges of life. Madonna's grief is an urgent example of how loss itself can influence the strongest personalities.
