Ciccone worked closely with his superstar sister as a dancer and creative, before releasing a tell-all book about his life with her in 2008.
Pop icon Madonna has paid tribute to her brother Christopher Ciccone on social media, saying "there will never be anyone like him".His husband, British actor Ray Thacker, was by his side when he died. Madonna , whose original name was Madonna Louise Ciccone, posted a tribute to her brother, saying he was "the closest human to me for so long".
"We devoured art and music and film like hungry animals ... we were in the epicenter of all of these things exploding."We went to funerals and we cried, and we went dancing."A dancer since his youth, Ciccone was deeply intertwined with his sister's rise in pop stardom in the 1980s. "When it came to good taste, my brother was the Pope, and you had to kiss the ring to get his blessing," she said.
The book, and his no-filter descriptions of the exploits of his sister's famous circle, took its toll on some of his Hollywood friendships too.
