Madonna says she reunited with brother Christopher Ciccone before his death

Oct. 7 (UPI) -- Pop music star Madonna has posted photos and a heartfelt message remembering her brother Christopher Ciccone, who died of cancer over the weekend. He was 63.

"My brother Christopher is gone. He was the closest human to me for so long. Its hard to explain our bond. But it grew out of an understanding that we were different and society was going to give us a hard time for not following the status quo. We took each other's hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood. In fact dance was a kind of superglue that held us together," Madonna, 66, wrote Sunday.
