As a dancer, Christopher Ciccone was deeply involved in his sister's success as a pop star in the 1980s. He participated in music videos such as "Lucky Star", directed her "Blond Ambition World Tour" and functioned as tour manager for "The Girlie Show" tour.

He also directed music videos for Dolly Parton and Tony Bennett.

For two decades, Christopher Ciccone was by Madonna's side as a choreographer, director, dresser, and general helper to his sister. He also decorated her homes in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.

In 2008, Ciccone released an autobiography titled "Life with My Sister Madonna". In an interview with "Good Morning America", he described the relationship as a kind of marriage.

It was a double-edged sword, but no one chained me to make me stay.

Christopher Ciccone moved back to Michigan a few years ago to be closer to his family. In 2016, he married British actor Ray Thacker, who was by his side when he passed away.

Madonna also lost her stepmother Joan Clare Ciccone to cancer a few weeks ago and at the beginning of 2023, her older brother Anthony Ciccone died of throat cancer.
