Madonna’s older brother, Anthony Ciccone, died yesterday at the age of 66; However, his family has remained hermetic by not making any public statement after the death, since it seems that the deceased did not have a good relationship with his relatives to the extent that, years ago, he indicated that if he died, none of the members from his core would care about him.
A couple of hours ago, “TMZ” broke the news of the death of Anthony Ciccone, the brother with whom Madonna is closest in age, had allegedly lost his life due to his problems with alcohol. There is still no police or health report that supports this version that is circulating on the internet.
The report was published by Joe Henry, one of Anthony’s brothers-in-law, who has been married to Melanie for 35 years, the youngest of the Cicone sisters and brothers, and who, unlike most of the family, held a cordial treatment with the deceased, as he shared in the publication in which he regretted his death.
“My brother-in-law, Anthony Gerard Ciccone, stepped off this earthly plane last night. I’ve known him since he was 15 years old, so many years have passed in the spring of our lives in Michigan,” his brother-in-law recalled.
In addition, he openly exposed Anthony’s complex personality, specifying that they staged some misunderstandings that only brothers go through and know how to overcome.
“As brother Dave Henry (who took this photograph) notes here, Anthony was a complex character; and God knows, we got tangled up at times, as true brothers can. But he loved him, and he understood him better than he was sometimes willing to let go. But the problems fade away; and the family remains (…)”.
Henry made clear the love he felt for Anthony, being obviously affected by his departure, as he wished him to be in a better place now, through this moving farewell:
“Farewell, then, brother Anthony. I want to think that the god in which your blessed mother (and mine) believed it has it there, waiting to receive you. At least for today, no one will dissuade me from this vision, “she deepened.
Despite the fact that Henry is Anthony’s in-laws, he is the only person who has spoken publicly, while the members of the Ciccone family have not made any comment, as it is known that they had no communication with him; This was stated by Anthony himself a few years ago, during an interview he gave to the “Daily Mail”.
According to Anthony’s words, it was as if he didn’t exist to his family, suggesting that if something happened to him, they wouldn’t find out soon and wouldn’t care too much about the news either.
“I am a zero in his eyes, a non-person. I am a shame. If I froze to death, my family probably wouldn’t know or care about it for six months,” he considered on that occasion.
In fact, in a publication dating back to 2011, the English media revealed that Anthony lived under a bridge, located in Michigan, United States.
Regarding the deal with Madonna, with whom he only had two years since he was 66 years old and she is 64, Anthony went so far as to declare that neither of them felt affection for the other and the other. “I never loved her in the first place, she never loved me. We never loved each other.”
