Another death inside Madonna‘s family… and this time it’s her younger brother, Christopher Ciccone.
Madonna’s brother died Friday in Michigan from cancer… his rep tells TMZ.
It’s the second death in as many weeks for Madonna’s family… just last month, her stepmother Joan Ciccone died after a battle with what was described as a very aggressive cancer.
Christopher and Madonna were tied at the hip when her career was just beginning, and he famously served as one of her backup dancers.
He later graduated as a show designer and backstage dresser for Madonna… and he was art director for Madge’s “Blonde Ambition” world tour.
Christopher was also Madonna’s tour director for “The Girlie Show”… and he directed music videos for Tony Bennett And Dolly Parton.
Madonna and Christopher, who also enjoyed a career as an interior designer, came to public attention in 2008 when he featured her in his biography “Life With My Sister Madonna,” which became a New York Times bestseller.
The two eventually made up and released his own shoe line in 2012.
