Madonna says nobody told her as a child that her mother was dying: 'I just watched her disintegrate'

Madonna opened up about her mother's death, revealing that no one told her as a child that her mom was dying: 'I just watched her disintegrate.'

Madonna's legendary Celebration tour might be over, but the global icon's decision to include a tribute to her own mother in the show still lives on in the singer-songwriter's mind. "I stood on stage for 81 shows staring up at the beautiful face of my mother and wondering what she must’ve been thinking as she waved goodbye to me from her hospital window. I stepped into the station wagon and shut the door not knowing it was the last time I’d see her," Madonna reflected in the post, which featured a shot of her on stage during a Celebration show, staring up at a large photo of her mother that typically flashed on a screen behind her during performances of her 2003 song "Mother and Father" on the road.
