Heavy mourning for the music star
Her beloved brother Christopher Ciccone passed away at the age of 63 after a hard battle with cancer and Madonna she is inconsolable.
In a long tribute to him with many photos of their broken lives she wrote:
“My brother Christopher is gone.
He was the closest person to me for so long
It’s hard to explain our bond
But it came from understanding that we were different and that society would make life difficult for us because we didn’t follow the stereotypes. We held each other’s hands and danced through the madness of our childhood
Actually dancing was a kind of superglue that held us together.
Discovering dance in our small town saved me and then my brother came and saved him too
My ballet teacher, also named Christopher- created a safe space for my brother to be gay.
a word not spoken or even whispered where we lived.
When I finally got the courage to go to New York to become a Dancer.
My brother followed.
Again we held each other’s hands, and danced in the madness of New York!
We devoured Art and Music and Cinema like hungry animals
we were at the center of the explosion of all these things.
We danced through the madness of the AIDS epidemic.
We went to funerals and cried and danced. We danced together on stage early in my career and he eventually became the Creative Director of many of my tours. In terms of good taste my brother was the Pope and you had to kiss the ring to get his blessing.
We defied the Roman Catholic Church,
The Police, the Moral Majority and all the authorities that stood in the way of Artistic freedom!
My brother was next to me.
He was a painter, poet and visionary.
I admired him. He had impeccable taste. And a sharp tongue, which he sometimes used against me but I always forgave him.
We climbed to the highest heights together
And it fell to the lowest lows.
Somehow, we always found each other and held hands and kept dancing.
The last few years have not been easy
We haven’t spoken in a while but…
When my brother got sick. We found our way back to each other.
I did everything I could to keep him alive as long as possible.
It hurt so much towards the end
Once again we held hands. We closed our eyes and danced. Together.
I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore.
There will never be anyone like him.
I know she’s dancing somewhere”
