‘It drove me crazy when I was a young girl’: Madonna pays tribute to brother who died after rehab 28.02.2023, 9:25

The Vogue singer’s younger brother has died after undergoing rehab. Anthony had a hard life. The man suffered from alcoholism and addictions. For more than seven years he lived on handouts, sleeping under a bridge in Michigan.

Six years ago, Madge managed to convince her brother to get treatment. After leaving rehab, Anthony returned to his family and began leading a normal life.

The pop diva posted a black and white photo from her personal archive. The frame depicts the company at a noisy feast. The star herself appeared in a leopard coat: she hugged the man who was sitting next to her. Next was Madonna’s older brother: Anthony turned away from the camera, looking stylish and brutal.

“Thank you for driving me crazy when I was a young girl. You introduced me to Charlie Parker, Miles David, Buddhism, Taoism, Charles Bukowski, Richard Brautigan, Jack Kerouac and expansive thinking that goes beyond,” Madonna addressed her late brother while attending the Grammy Awards recently.

Anthony claimed he never loved his sister and she never loved him. However, all the relatives quarreled with him because he was a difficult person. At the same time, relatives loved Anthony and tried to protect him as soon as possible.
