Its hard to explain our bond.
We took each others hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood.
My brother was right by my side, Madonna continued in her tribute.
He was a painter a poet and a visionary.
He had impeccable taste.
And a sharp tongue, Which he sometimes used against me but I always forgave him.
We soared the highest heights together.
And floundered in the lowest lows.
Somehow, we always found each other again and we held hands and we kept dancing.
Once again, we held hands.
We closed our eyes and we danced.
Im glad hes not suffering anymore.
There will never be anyone like him.
I know hes dancing somewhere.
Anthony Ciccone, Madonna and Christophers brother and the oldest of the siblings, died in 2023.
