Venus XCX Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) This has been heavily rumoured all day without official sources other than friends of his. Extra sad as their step mother Joan only passed away less than two weeks ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAw2IMPOcIm/ Quote thecraigjordan 11h I guess I'm just going to hate and loathe this week forever. See you later @cgciccone. We had a close but private friendship. It was the way you wanted it. You were reluctant to let people in, after having been burned by so many fake friends repeatedly. I love you and miss you already. https://www.instagram.com/p/DAw4DevNHEx/ Quote Rest in Peace to a bright light that has been extinguished too soon. My heart aches for my friend @cgciccone and @madonna gone too soon #63 love you, my friend always and forever. Quote In 1982, he moved to New York to support his sister Madonna's career as her backup dancer. Ciccone appeared in the music video for her single "Lucky Star" in 1984 and performed on her early television performances. Around this time, he worked at the Italian boutique, Fiorucci. Ciccone always had an interest in art and in 1984, he was hired as a receptionist at the Diane Brown Gallery in SoHo, Manhattan. As Madonna's fame grew and she embarked on arena tours, Ciccone was her "dresser". He created the artwork for the 12" version of her single "Like a Prayer" in 1989. Ciccone was the art director for Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990. He also was the tour director for her The Girlie Show tour in 1993. Ciccone stated that Madonna demeaned and underpaid him throughout their working relationship. In 2008, Ciccone released his autobiography, Life with My Sister Madonna, which debuted at No. 2 on The New York Times Best Seller list.[29] The book fractured their relationship and Ciccone asserts that Madonna had him blacklisted from Hollywood.

Charmed Life Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) Fans are talking about this on the Madonna forums, but it hadn't been confirmed so we weren't quite sure if it was true. Poor Madonna, losing two brothers and her step Mother within the space of a year is awful. Edited October 6 by Charmed Life 8
Burn Posted October 6 Posted October 6 How sad, so soon after a previous family bereavement. Wishing all the best to Madonna and family.
Breathe On Moi Posted October 6 Posted October 6 what?? oh my god, this is going to hurt her so much, what is going on. May he RIP.
ChooseyLover Posted October 6 Posted October 6 I have never been invested in a stan way with Madonna but even I'm aware of how important her brother was to her. This is really sad. R.I.P.
dabunique Posted October 6 Posted October 6 There is still no official confirmation hence why we haven't posted anything. Wikipedia had he died and now they have deleted dat
MP3 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) The fact that everybody is dying in her family except her father, he's like what near 100 now? Remarquable Edited October 6 by MP3 1 1
HausOfPunk Posted October 6 Posted October 6 That is sad, especially when it's your little brother. RIP. 1
prettyinpink940 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 He will forever be a huge part of her legacy. Rest in peace. 1
Lament Posted October 6 Posted October 6 She's gonna be devastated. He was everything to her for the first couple of decades of her career, and basically her whole life before that. I know they found peace in the last few years and saw each other occasionally. I'm glad they got to reconnect and evacuate all the bad blood. It's gonna be very tough for her father, losing his wife and son in the same month… 6
HardBambi Posted October 6 Posted October 6 RIP I read his book I think she should have worked more on the relationship with her little brother since they were incredibly close
tiagol88 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Not sure how she was with him after his betrayal but i hope this isnt true. lets wait until confirmation.
The7thStranger Posted October 6 Posted October 6 (edited) TMZ has confirmed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/10/06/madonna-brother-christopher-ciccone-dead/ This is horrendous. I feel so bad for his husband, his father, and all his siblings. And I'm sorry he and Madonna will no longer have an opportunity to fully mend their relationship. Christopher is such an important figure in Madonnadom, up there with Niki and Donna, that I cannot believe he's actually gone. Edited October 6 by The7thStranger

Silvio has now lost two children and his wife in the space of a year and a half... Devastating!!
Venice B Posted October 6 Posted October 6 This is devastating. I'm currently reading one of her biographies and I had no idea how proeminent he was in her work. The fact he helped to bring one of my favorite concerts by Madonna to life (Girlie Show) is amazing. Can't imagine how she must be feeling right now. 1

Can't imagine how she must be feeling right now. I'd imagine she's feeling a lot of conflicting emotions right now, especially given that she almost died herself not too long ago. And their relationship had certainly taken a beating over the years. He certainly brought out an amazing quality in her work I don't think we've ever seen since. 1 1
