At the age of 63, the younger brother of the singer Madonna, the former dancer, designer and artist Christopher Ciccone, died. His spokesman, Brad Taylor, told CBS News.
He clarified that the artist died on October 4 after a long battle against cancer.
Christopher Ciccone was born on November 22, 1960. He began his career as a dancer. She joined Le Group de La Palace Royale in Ottawa in 1980 and moved to New York two years later to support her older sister’s music career as a backup dancer. In 1984 he appeared in the video for the song Lucky Star.
Gradually, he became more and more involved in his star sister’s projects: he was the art director of Madonna’s world tours, Blond Ambition (1990) and The Girlie Show (1993). He later began designing interiors in the singer’s homes in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
Due to the singer’s refusal to hire Ciccone as director of her next tour, the relationship between brother and sister worsened. In 2008 he published the book Life with My Sister Madonna, about the release of which he did not consider it necessary to warn the singer.
