I remember this pic. Always loved M’s expression here

Is that the one she French kissed? 🤢

Such a cute pic of M and Christopher.

I leaked the Remix Edit of Dress You Up from a Digital source last year, but it would be nice to have on streaming.

My mom passed away from lung cancer and she passed away only 2 months after being diagnosed. Excruciatingly painful and the dr gave her liquid morphine to control the pain. I cannot even imagine. Cancer is awful.

It appears Christopher passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone died following a battle with pancreatic cancer, his publicist confirmed to DailyMail.com. Ciccone, 63, passed away peacefully on October 4 surrounded by his husband Ray Thacker and their loved ones at his home in Michigan. 'Christopher’s loving spouse was faithfully by his side during the final stages of the cancer that would ultimately end his life,' his representative said. He is survived by his Queen of Pop sister and their siblings Martin, Paula, Melanie, Jennifer and Mario as well as their father and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 'He was an extremely talented man with a wicked sense of humor,' one friend said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13930273/amp/madonna-brother-christopher-ciccone-cause-death-revealed.html

You came on board with the release of her best album!

That and my age. It wasn’t a hit at all here in America and I wasn’t born when the song was out. Fortunatly, the song is great even without the sample.

Clout of what? I’m lost with that logic. He is Matthew Rettenmund who wrote the Madonna Bible. He already has ‘clout’ in the Madonna community. Knowing a brother passed away ‘first’ serves him no purpose. I really don’t care and don’t see it that way and could care less. It’s a weird thought to me.

Life is just too short. We should all take this as a reminder of that.

Madonna remembers her brother Christopher Ciccone in moving tribute: ‘There will never be anyone like him’ https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/06/entertainment/madonna-christopher-ciccone-tribute/index.html CNN - Madonna is mourning the loss of her younger brother. Christopher Ciccone, a designer, dancer and artist, died “peacefully” on Friday, according to a statement from Ciccone’s family provided to CNN by his representative Brad Taylor. He was 63. The superstar paid tribute to Ciccone in a post on her Instagram page on Sunday, calling him “the closest human to me for so long.” Their bond, she wrote, “grew out of an understanding that we were different and society was going to give us a hard time for not following the status quo.” The “Vogue” singer recalled how the art of dance symbolically “saved” both herself and Ciccone, describing it as the “superglue that held us together” and the reason why they both moved to New York City early on in her career. “My brother was right by my side,” she continued. “We soared the highest heights together. And floundered in the lowest lows. Somehow, we always found each other again and We held hands and we kept dancing.” Ciccone served as Madonna’s creative consultant as her career exploded, serving as the artistic director for her 1990 Blond Ambition world tour, which was chronicled in the 1991 music documentary “Truth or Dare.” He also choreographed in the music video for her 1982 song “Everybody” and directed the “Peace Train” music video for Dolly Parton in 1997. In 2008, Ciccone released his memoir titled “Life with My Sister Madonna,” where he detailed their at-times turbulent relationship. Later, Ciccone had worked as an interior designer and footwear designer. “The last few years have not been easy,” Madonna candidly wrote in her tribute on Sunday. “We did not speak for sometime but when my brother got sick, we found our way back to each other.” According to his family’s statement, Ciccone died “surrounded by love” following a battle with cancer. “I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore. There will never be anyone like him. I know he’s dancing somewhere,” Madonna wrote. Ciccone is survived by his father Silvio Ciccone, his siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and husband Ray Thacker.

Of course he knew about it? Thats why he posted pics of Christopher to honor him, but without text or comments because it wasn’t his place to announce it.

I see Guy, but he has Madonna’s eyes.

Christopher and Madonna looked very much alike. Rocco definitely has their eyes.

I think the first half is enjoyable, but it goes off the rails once the court scenes begin.
