Life with My Sister Madonna
Book by Christopher Ciccone
Life with My Sister Madonna is an autobiography by American artist, designer and interior decorator Christopher Ciccone and author Wendy Leigh. The book is a memoir and tell-all book about Ciccone's life, with heavy focus on his relationship with his sister, the American singer-songwriter and actress Madonna, and was released on July 14, 2008, by Simon Spotlight Entertainment. It details Ciccone's life spent with Madonna, as well as unknown aspects of the singer's life. The relationship between Ciccone and his sister had deteriorated over the years following the singer's refusal to employ him as her tour director.

Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone dies—pop star shares gut-wrenching post
Christopher Ciccone reportedly passed away on Friday, October 4 after a long battle with cancer, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. Born on November 22, 1960 in Bay City, Michigan, Ciccone was one of Madonna's younger siblings.
THR notes that Ciccone "died peacefully surrounded by his husband, Ray Thacker, and other loved ones." TMZ reports that he passed away in Michigan, and recalls that Madonna had just lost another family member — her stepmom, Joan Ciccone, at 81 years of age — a few weeks ago on September 26, 2024.
Best known for being a designer and an artist, Ciccone maintained a very high profile in the 1990s due to his work as a creative director for Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour (1990) and The Girlie Show tour (1993) — two very iconic eras for the pop star.
Unfortunately, the two siblings had an eventual falling-out that led to Ciccone's bombshell book, Life With My Sister Madonna, published in 2008. In the book, Ciccone references a 1991 interview with Out's sister publication, The Advocate, in which Madonna "outed him."
