Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone dies aged 63

Madonna’s younger brother, Christopher Ciccone, has tragically passed away at the age of 63 after battling cancer.

He had been a significant part of Madonna’s career, working as her personal assistant, dresser, interior decorator, and artistic director of her tours.

Despite their close relationship during Madonna’s rise to fame, they had a falling out after Christopher published details about their personal life in his 2008 book, “Life with My Sister Madonna.”

Christopher’s death comes shortly after the loss of their stepmother, Joan Clare Ciccone, who also lost her battle with cancer.

Christopher had started as one of Madonna’s backup dancers before taking on various roles in her career, including as the art director for her Blonde Ambition world tour.

He also directed music videos for Tony Bennett and Dolly Parton.

They fell out over the 2008 book, but had made up by 2012, according to Christopher, who said they were in contact but were no longer working together.

Madonna, 66, is yet to publicly comment on the news.
