MADONNA’S oldest brother, Anthony Ciccone, has died at age 66 after his battle with addiction and homelessness.
His death was confirmed by Musician Joe Henry, the husband of Madonna‘s sister Melanie Ciccone in an Instagram post.
“My brother-in-law, Anthony Gerard Ciccone, exited this earthly plane last evening. I’ve known him since I was 15, in the spring of our lives in Michigan so many years now gone.”
“As brother Dave Henry (who took this photograph) notes here, Anthony was a complex character; and god knows: we tangled in moments, as true brothers can,” Henry said.
“But I loved him, and understood him better than I was sometimes willing to let on.”
Anthony’s cause of death is unclear at this time.
