Madonna’s Brother Anthony Ciccone Cause of Death Revealed

July 17, 2025 - by Jande David - Leave a Comment

Madonna’s Brother Anthony Ciccone Cause of Death RevealedIn February 2023, the world mourned the loss of Anthony Gerard Ciccone, Madonna’s eldest brother, at the age of 66. Recent details from his death certificate have now revealed that his passing was due to respiratory failure and throat (oropharyngeal) cancer, with tobacco use cited as a contributing factor.


A Journey Marked by Struggle

Anthony’s life was marked by immense talent but also deep personal challenges. Following Madonna’s rise to fame, he unfortunately battled with addiction and homelessness. Public accounts from outlets like People and Page Six painted a picture of a complicated life—wandering the streets of Michigan, often disconnected from family, yet occasionally reaching out for support.

Over time, and particularly as his health declined, Madonna and other family members offered their support. Despite past estrangement, they provided care and compassion, visiting him during his final months.


The Final Months

According to TMZ and People, Anthony was hospitalized where medical staff placed breathing and feeding tubes to support his declining health. Tragically, two days before his death, he chose to remove these tubes. That decision precipitated the respiratory failure that ultimately led to his passing .

The official certificate also attributes tobacco use as a contributing factor to the development of his throat cancer, underscoring the difficult health battles he faced in his final years.


Madonna’s Tribute

Following the announcement of his death on February 24, 2023, Madonna paid a heartfelt tribute via Instagram. She credited Anthony with broadening her cultural and philosophical horizons during her formative years, mentioning his influence through jazz, Buddhism, Taoism, and the Beat Generation’s literature. Madonna described him as someone who “blew her mind” as a young girl, planting “important seeds” that shaped her artistic growth .


Remembering a Complex Soul

Anthony Ciccone’s life serves as a poignant reminder of how grief, struggle, and familial love often coexist. In his obituary, he was remembered as “an insatiable reader” and “a deep lover of music with a wanderer’s spirit.” Despite often living on the fringes—distanced by addiction—he found moments of connection and solace among family before his passing . He leaves behind a son, Angelo Lawson‑Smith, and a legacy remembered by a grieving, yet supportive family.


A Legacy in Context

Anthony wasn’t the only Ciccone sibling the world has lost recently. Less than two years before his death, Madonna’s younger brother Christopher “Chris” Ciccone also passed away in October 2024 from pancreatic cancer at 63. The Ciccone family has faced a series of personal losses, including their stepmother and mother, all claimed by various forms of cancer.


In Summary

Anthony Ciccone’s cause of death—respiratory failure sparked by throat cancer—casts a solemn light on the struggles he faced both physically and emotionally. Though troubled, his final days were met with understanding and familial support. Madonna’s tribute captured the breadth of his influence: a troubled soul who nonetheless shaped her world. While his life was marked by hardship, the acknowledgment of his impact offers a meaningful coda to a life lived in complex shades.
