Madonna and Christopher were very close in her younger years and he worked closely with her on some of her tours.

Christopher went from his sister’s backup dancer to her show designer and backstage dresser, serving as art director for her “Blonde Ambition” world tour and tour director for “The Girlie Show.”

The pair fell out when Christopher released his best-selling book ‘Life With My Sister Madonna’ in 2008, but they later reconciled and following his death, the ‘Beautiful Stranger’ singer paid a moving tribute to her sibling.

She wrote on Instagram: “My brother Christopher is gone. He was the person closest to me for so long. It’s hard to explain our bond.

“But it came from realizing that we were different and that society would make things difficult for us because we didn’t follow the status quo. We took each other’s hands and danced through the madness of our childhood. Dance was basically a kind of super glue that kept us together…

“We defied the Roman Catholic Church, the police, the moral majority and all those in authority who stood in the way of artistic freedom! My brother was by my side.

“He was a painter, a poet and a visionary. I admired him. He had impeccable taste. And a sharp tongue, which he sometimes used against me, but I always forgave him. We soared to the highest heights together and collided in the lowest of lows..”

She concluded: “The last few years have not been easy. We didn’t speak for a while, but then my brother got sick. We have found our way back to each other. I did my best to keep him alive as long as possible.

“He was in so much pain towards the end. Again we held hands. We closed our eyes and we danced. Together. I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore. There will never be anyone like him. I know he’s dancing somewhere. ” “
