As OK! reported, the music icon's brother died in October at age 63 after a battle with cancer.

"My brother Christopher is gone. He was the closest human to me for so long," the "Like a Prayer" vocalist wrote on Instagram at the time. "It's 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."

Madonna supported her sibling when he came out as gay, and the two became so close that he acted as the creative director for some of her tours.

However, despite being inseparable growing up, the two didn't speak for quite some time in their later years β€” though she said "we found our way back to each other" when he first got sick.
