Madonna Paid For Once-Homeless Brother Anthony’s Rehab Bill Before He Died

Over the weekend, Anthony died at the age of 66. The news was revealed by Joe Henry, the hubby of Madonna’s sibling, Melanie Ciccone.

He composed, “My brother-in-law, Anthony Gerard Ciccone, left this earthly aircraft last night … Anthony was an intricate character; and god understands: we tangled in minutes, as real bros can. But I enjoyed him, and comprehended him much better than I was in some cases happy to let on. But difficulty fades; and household stays— with hands reached throughout the table. Farewell, then, brother Anthony. I wish to believe the god your blessed mom (and mine) thought in has her there, waiting to get you. At least for today, nobody will discourage me from this vision.”
