Madonna’s older brother Anthony Ciccone has died at the age of 66. The incident was reported by singer Joe Henry, who is married to Melanie Ciccone, the sister of the pop diva. The musician and producer posted a photo of the deceased family member on social networks, and also dedicated an emotional post to him.

My brother-in-law, Anthony Gerard Ciccone, left this earthly world last night. I have known him since I was 15. Anthony was a complex character. We are confused in moments, as real brothers can be. But I loved him and understood him better than I sometimes wanted to show.

Joe admitted that close relatives often quarreled with him. However, according to Henry, they loved him.

Farewell, brother Anthony. I want to think that the God your blessed mother believed in is waiting for you there. At least today no one can dissuade me from this, Joe assured.

Born in Michigan to Catholic parents, Madonna grew up in suburban Detroit with five siblings, the eldest of whom was Anthony. She then moved to New York to take up dancing. Her older brother stayed in Michigan and became an alcoholic and homeless. A relative of the singer lived under the bridge for more than seven years, collecting alms. In 2017, the singer nevertheless persuaded her brother to go to the clinic. Anthony has been treated for alcohol addiction. After that, he lived only five years. Ciccone scolded family members for allegedly not taking care of him. Also, the man spoke frankly about Madonna.

I never loved her, she never loved me. We never loved each other,” Anthony said.

The death of his brother continued a series of troubles in Madonna’s life. After the producers of the biopic about the pop diva wrapped up the project, and the recent plastic surgery made Madonna the heroine of ridicule, it became known that the singer’s personal life is not going smoothly either. Reliable sources cited by Page Six confirm that the 64-year-old singer is alone again.
