Pop music icon Madonna paid tribute to her late brother, Christopher Ciccone, just days after his death—saying that despite a period of estrangement they had reconnected recently.
She described him as as the “closest human to me for so long” in a lengthy Instagram post Sunday.
Ciccone’s death at 63 was first confirmed by the New York Post on Sunday. His spokesperson told the outlet that he “died peacefully” with his “loving” husband “faithfully by his side.”
