I was talking about rumors and nothing being official.

Sadly if @Dazedmadonna says it's true than you can take it as official... 😢

I feel very very uncomfortable speculating on this until I hear something from a properly official source. Very hurtful to M especially after her step mother passed.

I write it once again as I'm surprised myself by how this is making me sad. I always liked him, maybe it's the reason why I didn't want to read his book. I liked the relationship he seemed to have with his sister, in Truth or Dare he seemed the only calm person, maybe shy even. I liked him spontaneously and I think his work gave such a beautiful contribution to M's early 90s, the LAP portrait cover is so iconic and the Girlie Show is her best live piece. I started to believe the rumour in the evening when I saw Matthew was not giving further explanations. I think M is suffering a lot for this ... RIP Chris and thank you.

Very sad news

What a horrible, horrible blow to the family.

First Joan, and now Christopher.

It's just heartbreaking.

[Blue Jean 17,686]

Wasn’t he very close to Joan?

[Boombox90 4,750]

Our childhood is disappearing.

Good thoughts being sent Madonna’s way and to her father.

 

What a tough time for the family.

I really pray they both ended in good terms before his death

Yes, he was. He talks very warmly about her in his book, and regarded her his mother.

I am in shock and very, very sad!!!

Poor Madonna!!! She lost her brother Anthony in 2023, then her stepmother Joan in September of this year and now Chris this month!!! 😱😨 

And we must not forget that she almost died in June of last year, death is stalking her!!! 😥😥😥 May God protect our queen from all evil, please!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I guess she is totally and absolutely devastated by all this tragic news in such a short time!

Christopher was great, he was her great right hand between the 80's and 90's, he was with her from the beginning and despite their separation, fights and differences, I say that we forget all those bad moments and we remember him with respect, admiration and affection for everything he did for our Madonna, he helped her build a large part of her legacy, let us remember him as the great genius that he was!!!

Rest in Peace Christopher Ciccone!!!

🙏🏻✝️🛐🥹

As i was searching on Instagram this pic of Christopher with Alexis Arquette, Rosanna's late trans sister came up. Like a bittersweet nod to DSS.

His Wikipedia page is currently in a fight of people who are removing the "was" and changing it to "is" and removing the "1960 - 2024" things

I was hoping all along this was some rumor, now it is appearing to be true. RIP Christopher, like any family, we go through our ups and downs but he was instrumental in her rise and have been by her side during her highest highs....thoughts and prayers with M and the Ciccone family. So much loss in her life.....May god watch over her well.

This reddit comment says he died of prostate cancer, maybe this is true, I don't know and I don't want to speculate but just sharing this in case 

 

 

[Blue Jean 17,686]

He was only 63 years old

Exactly! I am hoping we get a reason with explanation on the announcement explaining exactly why it was because he was so young!

Such an easily detected type of cancer with regular screenings over 45.

Poor guy.

 

Get your tests, men! This kills way too many men and it’s easy to catch with yearly screenings.

That's right. Lots of men don't want to do it cause they're scared of a finger up the butt, but that's just a few seconds of discomfort, and it's worth it.

Usually, it's just a blood test.

Yes!

A stool test yearly will detect it.

A finger up the butt vs potentially dying from a moment of uncomfortableness. It’s sad that so many young men pass away because of this.

has this been confirmed?
