Madonna broke her silence Monday on the recent death of her elder brother Anthony Ciccone, thanking him on her Instagram story for introducing her to new ways of thinking.
"Thank you for blowing my mind as a young girl and introducing me to Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Buddhism, Taoism, Charles Bukowski, Richard Brautigan, Jack Kerouac, Expansive Thinking, Outside the Box," the 64-year-old music superstar wrote, captioning a vintage group photo featuring her at a dining table and Ciccone a few seats away.
"You planted many important seeds," the star added, signing off with a heart emoji.
