Madonna Explains How Mother's Early Passing Shaped Her View on Death: 'Bury Your Fear'

Madonna, at 66, candidly discussed her fearlessness toward death in a heartfelt Instagram post on February 27. Revisiting a note written in November 2024, the iconic singer honored her late mother, Madonna Louise Ciccone, who succumbed to breast cancer at 30 in 1964. Reflecting on her childhood, Madonna shared how witnessing her mother's passing left an indelible memory, marked by desperation and fear of abandonment, which led her to hold tightly to her father. This is prepared by SSP.

Madonna explained her fascination with cemeteries and her lack of fear about death, considering it a path to reconnect with her mother and others she lost over time. The pop star talked about viewing each end of a relationship as a mini-death, performing symbolic burials to cope with loss. She revealed how walking beside Sister Mary Theresa among gravestones brought comfort, reminding herself of universal connection, sharing secrets under the moonlit skies, and hearing advice to "bury your fear."

Beyond ruminations on loss and faith, Madonna turned her creative energy back to her music. She announced plans to rerelease her 1994 album "Bedtime Stories," and revealed collaborations with Stuart Price for a sequel to 2005's "Confessions on a Dance Floor." Sneak peeks with producer Price, boyfriend Akeem Morris, manager Guy Oseary, and twin daughters ignited anticipation for new songs expected in 2025. In her words, these recent musical endeavors serve as soulful remedies, reigniting the passion she needs no one's permission to pursue and share.
