Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, died in Michigan on Friday at 63. His death from cancer was confirmed to the New York Post Sunday. Christopher’s spokesperson told the outlet that he “died peacefully” with his “loving” husband “faithfully by his side.” According to The Sun, Christopher married British hairstylist Ray Thacker back in 2016. The New York Post reports that Christopher had a strained relationship with his superstar sister, and he said as much in a 2008 memoir called Life With My Sister Madonna. The singer has yet to comment on her brother’s death. It's unclear what type of cancer Ciccone had. The famous family is no stranger to tragedy as the sibling’s stepmother, Joan Ciccone, lost her battle with cancer late last month. Madonna and Christopher also grieved the loss of their brother, Anthony Ciccone, in 2023. Christopher worked as an interior designer and used these skills as an art director on his sister’s 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour. While it doesn’t appear they were close at the time of his death, Christopher told The Evening Standard in 2012 that they were in contact but had been face-to-face in “a long time.”
